[name_f]Evenie[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u] or [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]? [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Aria[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]? HELP me name my twins please! [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f], is it possible to find two longer names to go with these cute nn, but that work together in style without sounding too similar?
Last time, I posted a poll, and I was shocked, and a bit disappointed, by the clear winner. I am having twin girls, and had made some pairs. The options were [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Averie[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. The pair that won was [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], but not sure about [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
I’ve had my heart set on the nicknames [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f], and was hoping to find longer names to go with them. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] can have the nn [name_f]Lia[/name_f], but what about [name_f]Evie[/name_f]? Then I found the name [name_f]Evenie[/name_f] ([name_u]Evan[/name_u]-ee). And I love it. What are your thoughts on [name_f]Evenie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? Would Evanie [name_f]Kate[/name_f] be better than [name_f]Evenie[/name_f] (I don’t think so, but open to hear your thoughts!). Also, feel free to mix around the names I already have and try to think of pairs. I think I’m going to eliminate [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Averie[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f].
So…
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? or [name_f]Evenie[/name_f] and a different “[name_f]Lia[/name_f]” name?
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] or Evanie?
If you totally hate [name_f]Evenie[/name_f], what are some combinations out of the names [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_u]Everly[/name_u]. Pr do you have any other name suggestions? Middle names must be [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and some form of [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] ([name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f], [name_f]Katerina[/name_f], [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] ect.) I do not want to use [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Jane[/name_f] as first names.
Thank you for all your time!
p.s. Evangeline, Eva, Eve, Evelyn, and Genevieve are all no’s. So please don’t suggest them!
What do you think about [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] as the full name for [name_f]Evie[/name_f]? [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought - I really love that name!
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] is nms. Sounds too much like evening when I say it.
I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] has been a favorite name for me for a while. I think it hits the sweet spot of familiar but not so common, little kid cute and grown up lady serious and teenager cool.
I like [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] of your [name_f]Evie[/name_f] options. [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is a little more modern sounding than [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], but not jarringly so. I like that they would share the ly letters, but it different spots. A very subtle matching. [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as middles both feel sweet and fresh.
Have you considered [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] for [name_f]Evie[/name_f]? [name_f]Eva[/name_f]? [name_f]Eve[/name_f]?
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
@sophiamargaret - No, I’ve thought about [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] for a long time, and I’m ok with it, but DH is really against it. And he’s pretty open to most names, so I don’t want to push this one. We’ve considered most of the more obvious [name_f]Evie[/name_f] names too : [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - too common, [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (he dated a girl named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] in university, so he’s totally against this name), [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (my friend’s name, so that’s not possible, too many other friends would be upset if I called my daughter this! haha).
@lemonthistle - we’ve considered [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] they are both no’s. I’m so glad you like [name_u]Everly[/name_u]! I do too, but most Berries don’t (or those who answered earlier), and my DH wasn’t loving it, so I didn’t know. I was convinced for about a day (2 or 3 months ago I think), that I was going to name them [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. Then everyone said ummm naw.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]; [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it!
Otherwise; [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. Best of luck!
I adore [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]! I really dislike all your E choices. I was going to suggest [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] until I saw your last sentence. I would just use [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Evenie[/name_f], and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] really lack the depth and style of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. From your other list of names, I would go with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f].
I really like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] & [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] & [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f].
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] isn’t really my style and it sounds made up.
What about [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], a little matchy but it gives you the nicknames [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f].
What does your dh not like about [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]? Too long?
Some serious but shorter ev names to go with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]:
[name_f]Evadne[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] (I esp like this for you)
I also think just plain [name_f]Evie[/name_f] does work as a first.
Also, more thoughts on [name_u]Everly[/name_u]:
There is a bias on this site towards timeless names. I often like old names, but I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong with actually being from the era you are in, yknow? [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is a modern name. It’s not vintage or classic. But I don’t think it’s insubstantial, either. I think it’s very pretty and will age well. I think most ppl irl are going to like it.
My name is very specific to the time period I was born in and it’s a great name. I’ve always liked it. I don’t think timeliness alone should sway you, especially if you were otherwise set on these names together. If you’ve organically soured on them, it might make sense to look at other options, but, idk, I think [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is really nice, esp in this sibset, with these middles.
@lemonthistle - Not sure exactly why he doesn’t like it, but he really hates it. [name_f]Evadne[/name_f] and [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] I don’t really like. I don’t know why, I just don’t. I’m glad so many people are actually coming around to [name_u]Everly[/name_u]! I haven’t mentioned the names to anyone in real life (except DH), because I don’t want the whole “Ew, why that?” thing and it’ll be easier when the girls are born to be like “this is a and this is b.” So thanks!
@lululemonmee - you’re the first person to like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]! I loved [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], but the more I look at it, the more I dislike it. I don’t like the nn [name_u]Cass[/name_u] (ass), and growing up I always wanted a nickname, so I don’t know what I would nickname her (Sia? I don’t like [name_f]Sisi[/name_f] (like [name_f]Cece[/name_f]), so idk). Maybe for my next daughter…
Not a fan of [name_u]Everly[/name_u] because it remind me of [name_f]Beverly[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lia[/name_f]!
Have you considered Evana or Evania
What about an E name, with a V middle name giving you [name_f]Evie[/name_f]?
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
Because I prefer classic and timeless names to more trendy choices, here is my advice to you for naming your twins.
If you don’t mind shared initials for the twins choose…[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
If you want the twins to have their own initials and unique endings choose…[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] (my faves) or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
I’m not a fan of [name_f]Evenie[/name_f] or [name_u]Everly[/name_u] but if you decide to use them, I think they pair better with these more modern-sounding names.
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f]
@silverr I’m not really a fan of the middle name idea because [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and some form of [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] have to be the mn for family reasons, but thanks anyways! Evana and Evania are cool names, I’ve never heard of them before! Are they pronounced [name_u]Evan[/name_u]-a / [name_u]Evan[/name_u]-ee-a or I-vaughn-a / I - vaughn-ee-a or something else?
@mischa oh I like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], and [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f], and [name_f]Evenie[/name_f] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f].
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are beautiful together; but I think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be so pretty, too. So:
[name_f]Evenie[/name_f] and [name_u]Everly[/name_u] are NMS. I love [name_f]Evie[/name_f] too but just plan to use [name_f]Eve[/name_f].
Other ways to get to [name_f]Evie[/name_f]…
[name_f]Evanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Eviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Evaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Eveline[/name_f]
[name_f]Evalina[/name_f]
Evolet
[name_f]Evelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evonne[/name_f]
[name_f]Evette[/name_f]
Everild
[name_f]Neve[/name_f]/[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
You could also always do the double barrel name like [name_f]Eve[/name_f]-[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] & [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] sound so good together! Plus they both have “ly” in their name, which I think is cute. As twins they’ll (hopefully!!!) have a strong bond, and having those two letters in both of their names shows that.
