I am having boy girl twins in 3 months. My main angst right now is my daughter. I have always wanted a daughter and I myself am one of 4 girls, so her name is very precious to me and frustrating cause I can’t figure it out. my son will likely be [name]James[/name], DHs choice, nn jay or [name]Jamie[/name].
I vote for [name]Grace[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Savannah[/name] or [name]Charlotte[/name] only because they are more classic and go better with [name]James[/name]. However I love [name]Winter[/name] it is on my list for a girl and [name]Meadow[/name] is really pretty too.
I love these names!
I would have to say my top 5 would be
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Jillian[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
and [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
I love the name [name]Gray[/name] as a middle name.
Some other names you might like-
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
I love [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Gray[/name]. I think all of your names are beautiful so you can’t go wrong.
Good luck and congratulations!
[name]Hi[/name] and welcome to NB! I was thinking of the fact that some options, though lovely, are a tad bit rhymey with [name]James[/name]. [name]James[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name], for example. If they weren’t twins, I wouldn’t consider it a big deal, but as twins it is a bit much (for me, that is!). [name]James[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] too, but to a lesser extent. I think [name]Marguerite[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name] would be absolutely darling with [name]James[/name]! I like [name]Winter[/name], [name]Savannah[/name] and [name]Meadow[/name] a lot too, but they seem to be of a very different style than [name]James[/name]. As for suggestions, how about [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Isobel[/name]/[name]Annabel[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name], [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], or [name]Eliza[/name]? Good luck!
These are gorgeous names, you really can’t go wrong. But my favorites are:
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
I also like [name]Grace[/name], but [name]Grace[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] is a bit choppy. Good luck!
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] are gorgeous.
I love “[name]Grey[/name]” as it’s my daughters middle name. I like the “e” better than the “a” because “[name]Gray[/name]” makes me think “Gravy”.
My top five from your list:
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] (love this combo, so cute)
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Carolina[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
I love [name]Frances[/name] [name]Gray[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Jillian[/name] [name]Gray[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name], and [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. As far as suggestions, my immediate thought was [name]Helen[/name]/[name]Helena[/name], [name]Irina[/name] or [name]Matilda[/name].
I think [name]Grace[/name] is perfect. [name]Frances[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] are good too. [name]Juliet[/name] is pretty but seems a bit matchy with [name]James[/name]. [name]Gemma[/name] is way too close sound-wise to [name]James[/name]! My youngest is named [name]James[/name] and I’ve adored his name – great choice!
([name]Gray[/name] is a family name for me…it’s actually the maiden name of the great-grandmother I was named after. )
Wow, thank you everyone, I’m glad to hear that I can’t go wrong with these names!
Seems so far that top faves are
[name]Jillian[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] or [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
And [name]Grace[/name], which I love but agree is a bit choppy, especially because with our last name I could not name her [name]Gracie[/name], as it ends with a “ee” sound. Anyone else?
Also thanks for the suggestions. I love
[name]Helen[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
, [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Leia[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
Thanks! I do love [name]Grace[/name] but it doesn’t go as well with our last name once I put the middle name in…
Wow yes, gray is the maiden name of a great great great?Grandmother of mine and I love it. If my daughter does not have it, then my son will be [name]James[/name] [name]Gray[/name].
I am warming to the name [name]James[/name], I think of the [name]James[/name] [name]Taylor[/name] song “sweet baby [name]James[/name]” and that makes me love it. I did want to call him [name]Samuel[/name] or [name]Benjamin[/name] originally.
Yes, [name]Gemma[/name] is very close to [name]James[/name]…and I’m struggling with the matchy thing with twins with my favorite names [name]Jillian[/name].
Also as someone commented names like [name]Winter[/name] and [name]Meadow[/name] are so lovely, I have a trend crush on the name [name]Wren[/name] too, but don’t sound like they go with [name]James[/name].
[name]James[/name] is really a solid great name and i dont think it needs a nn. All your names are great. I se a slight flaw in [name]Jillian[/name] 1) its not classic enough and seems a lil dated 2) i dont like the Idea of twins both w J names. I come from a family where my siblings and ALL my cousins have M names, its annoying. [name]Beatrice[/name] is my fave. Good luck
[name]Love[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] also [name]Beatrix[/name] . [name]Do[/name] you see a problem with [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] ( initials?)
My top picks are [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] or [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Grey[/name]. I think both of the names have a flowing sound and style with [name]James[/name] and are simply lovely for your little girl! This is a minority opinion, but I really don’t think [name]Josephine[/name] would be too matching with [name]James[/name] since they have a different number of syllables and do not rhyme. Not to mention, your twins will have plenty of individuality considering they are different genders. Good luck!
[name]Beatrice[/name] would be a great choice, and I really don’t think BJ initials are that big of a deal. My oldest son has the initials BJPF, and I just told everyone right up front, “[name]Don[/name]'t ever try to call him BJ.” End of story!
I like [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] also!
