Hello everyone!
My husband and I found out about a week ago that we will not only be having one but two babies. A boy and a girl. We had to digest these news for a bit, but then we thought ‘Well, they need names, don’t they?’ And here we are!
We already have a name for our little boy. He’ll be called [name_m]Atlas[/name_m].
Now the challenge is to find a fitting girl name that is just as strong, yet usable, and perhaps also rooted in mythology (but that’s not necessary!). We like [name_f]Thea[/name_f], but feel like it can’t stand next to [name_m]Atlas[/name_m].
I’m English and my husband is Mexican, and we would like names that could work in either language.
Any help, opinions, and thoughts are highly appreciated! Thank you 
Yay! It’s rare that twins are opposite genders! And [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] has been on my list for a long time, gorgeous name.
Some picks that I thought sounded great:
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_u]Aeron[/name_u]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
(If you don’t want matching letters):
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
Thank you so much for replying and sharing your ideas! I don’t really care if the letters are matching and I think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] are adorable together I adore [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] as well, but I’m not sure if it’ll flow with our last name which begins with an R.
Congrats!
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
Thank you so much! [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] is gorgeous.
What about [name_f]Althea[/name_f]? You love [name_f]Thea[/name_f], but need a name that is a bit more substantial, like [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Althea[/name_f] is adorable. But it may be slightly too matchy?

Well, my name is [name_f]Laura[/name_f] and I’m afraid that [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] might be a little too similar? But thank you so much for all of your suggestions, there are a couple of names that I’m gonna put down on our list
No problem! Yes, [name_f]Laura[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] are quite close. I really got into this, so here are some wilder ideas ~

I think [name_f]Thea[/name_f] can totally stand next to [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. Other ideas:

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]
The name that jumps out at me after seeing your boys name along with a girl’s name that you adore is the name [name_f]Althea[/name_f]. It has Greek origin and honors the sweet name that has already caught your attention.
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and…
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
I’ve seen the suggestion before but I just wanted to say it again because I think it’s adorable and makes an awesome combo with [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]!
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] stands well with [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and you could still give her the nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] that you love!
Everyone’s already given all my suggestions, but I just wanna throw in another vote for [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f]. It’s a GORGEOUS twin set, and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is a common nickname for [name_f]Athena[/name_f]!
I love [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Althea[/name_f]!
