I wanted to know any ideas you guys had on Twin Girl names. I don’t really know how to make the two names sound good together without being to matchy matchy.
The style of names I like are unique and uncommon but not weird. I don’t really like names that are common enough for there even to be one more person in their grade named the same.
Thank you so much for the help!

All I can think to contribute is what I would name twin girls right now.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] (although different lengths, the r sound in both works for me as does the old-fashioned yet modern feel, and a similar level of sophistication and charm)
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (both romantic, yet both strong with the r’s and the m’s and n’s, both three syllables, my only problem is I don’t like the nns for [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f])
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f] and [name_f]Fenella[/name_f] (both sound fresh and vital to me, like adventuresome girls/women, plus [name_f]Neva[/name_f] and [name_f]Fenna[/name_f] are nice together as nns)
[name_f]Theda[/name_f] and [name_f]Undine[/name_f] (each sounds exotic to me, yet is a real name, and sometimes I find myself drawn to first initials that follow one another - like t and u here)
[name_f]Stacia[/name_f] and Citrine (not sure why, but I enjoy these two together)
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] (two classics, but in 31 years of teaching, I’ve never taught a girl with either of these names)
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f] and [name_f]Ursuline[/name_f] (both have an ethereal feeling to them that I like, yet both end with a nice firm consonant, the f and the n sounds)
[name_f]Cesaria[/name_f] and [name_f]Dot[/name_f] (I don’t know why, but I love this combo. [name_f]Chessie[/name_f] and [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] as nns. Maybe it’s the surprise of the two together)
[name_f]Endellion[/name_f] and Harvest (Such rich, beautiful words and I love [name_f]Della[/name_f] and [name_f]Vesta[/name_f] as nns or [name_f]Enya[/name_f] and [name_f]Essie[/name_f])
[name_f]Ligeia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ngaio[/name_f] (Both unusual, both literary – [name_f]Ligeia[/name_f] from [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] Allenb [name_u]Poe[/name_u] stories and [name_f]Ngaio[/name_f] from the mystery novelist. Actually I love [name_f]Ligeia[/name_f] [name_f]Ngaio[/name_f] as a full name in itself too)
[name_f]Fjord[/name_f] and [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] (Or [name_f]Fjord[/name_f] and [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] – I like that they are short, nature-based or literature-based, and edgy – the j in [name_f]Fjord[/name_f] and the y in [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] complement one another)
Lumiere and Trillium ([name_u]Love[/name_u] how these sound together and while they are creative, they don’t sound outlandish to me_
[name_f]Maryellen[/name_f] and [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] (Or [name_f]Susan[/name_f]. I love how homespun these names are and I would nn them [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and Sus (sooz))
[name_f]Shasta[/name_f] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] (I also like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Shasta[/name_f], a Western flair to them. [name_f]Shasta[/name_f] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] are both names of daisies and I simply like the sound of them together)
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Mauve[/name_f] (Or [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Gala[/name_f] or [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] — they look and sound good together to me)
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] and [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] (I’d nn them [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] and Cress)
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] (While I like these names more than love them, they sound nice together I think)
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f] and [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] (Both are old-fashioned and refreshing sounding, [name_f]Minta[/name_f] and Sythia or [name_f]Minty[/name_f] and [name_f]Flossie[/name_f] for nns and I also adore Forsythe as a gender-neutral nn or name)
[name_f]Dinah[/name_f] and [name_f]Jemma[/name_f] (I love how soft and strong these sound, alone and together)
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Dulcinea[/name_f] (Pleasing repetition of l and n sounds, and [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] are cute together)
[name_f]Fabia[/name_f] and [name_f]Grania[/name_f] (I’ve never met a [name_f]Fabia[/name_f] and only knew one [name_f]Grania[/name_f], a beautiful black Irish dog)
Wow, it makes me want to go have 21 sets of twin girls!
Have fun… L)
If I was having twin girls right now, these pairings would be on my list:
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] ([name_f]Nell[/name_f]) and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] ([name_f]Ettie[/name_f])
[name_f]Mattea[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] ([name_u]Romy[/name_u]) and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] ([name_u]Cass[/name_u])
[name_u]Sorrel[/name_u] and [name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f] ([name_f]Cora[/name_f]) and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] ([name_f]Emmie[/name_f])
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] ([name_f]Kitty[/name_f]) and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Eliza[/name_f])
Personally what I’d be looking for is a similar-ish length, similar etymological background, obvious abbreviations for one or neither and similar levels of popularity. But not actually similar sounding! Not the same first initial and with different consonant sounds.
These are some that I like:
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] & [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] & [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] & [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Nimue[/name_f] & [name_f]Madelief[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] & [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] & [name_f]Anais[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurea[/name_f] & [name_f]Magali[/name_f]
[name_f]Vada[/name_f] and [name_f]Alba[/name_f]
Caitrin and [name_m]Farley[/name_m]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] and [name_u]Prairie[/name_u]
[name_f]Sabina[/name_f] and [name_f]Soraya[/name_f]
Maslow and [name_m]Larsen[/name_m]
Vivendel and [name_f]Ludmila[/name_f]
I like to connect names with a repeating sound… but not at the start of the name. For instance, [name_f]Betty[/name_f] and [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] would feel too connected with the same first initial. But [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] sound great together (in my opinion) with their B sounds at different places in the name.
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] and [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] and [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] and [name_f]Indi[/name_f]/[name_f]India[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Nimue[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f] and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Frida[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Frida[/name_f] and [name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Anwen[/name_f] and [name_f]Eluned[/name_f]
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] and [name_f]Veda[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Reverie[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] & [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f] ([name_f]Vivi[/name_f] & [name_f]Chloe[/name_f])
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] & [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] & [name_f]Justine[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] & [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] ([name_f]Annie[/name_f] & [name_u]Frannie[/name_u]!!)
