A few weeks ago I found out I am expecting fraternal twins! I still don’t know the genders, but now I am trying to find a name I love for a potential second daughter (or second son!).
Before we knew we were expecting two babies, we had decided on [name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] if it was a little girl. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is a bit less adventurous when it comes to names and vetoes most of my suggestions, but we agreed if we had a second girl it would be [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (nn Rosie). I am trying to find a middle name for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] that really speaks to me.
Three syllable names sound the nicest to me when I play around with them. Our last name is Irish, three syllables (similar to Rafferty). I like vintage names, not too clunky, but not too overly frilly.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] (my favorite so far, but maybe sounds too much like a rose cookie?)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (doesn’t flow as nicely as I’d like)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (pronounced clem-en-teen, but I don’t think DH would be into it)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] (also think my husband will veto, and have a close friend with a daughter [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] and may feel like I am taking it)
Clearly leaning frenchy! Would love any recommendations! x

Congratulations! [name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] is lovely.
I don’t think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is too “rose cookie” – I do see it, but I never would have thought of it if you didn’t point it out first. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is my favorite of your combos, I think it’s sweet and elegant!
I would suggest…
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] Ellabeth
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] / [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]

I, too, am a huge fan of [name_u]French[/name_u] names, so hope these help, and keep us updated with what you choose! Congratulations on your twins, and good luck!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is my favorite [name_f]Rose[/name_f] combo, personally! 
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is also lovely, and I don’t think it’s too like “rose cookie” at all. I adore those, and have some similar suggestions…

Found out last week it’s a boy and a girl so no dilemma! We are only 12 weeks but for now it’s likely [name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] (maybe Josephine?) & [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m].
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is especially a beautiful mix. I also fancy [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] quite a bit, perhaps a slight lean towards [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f].
