Naming our twins!

Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name] again :slight_smile:
We are getting closer to naming our twin girls, but are struggling with how to pick the best combo.
We aren’t sure whether to just pick two names and hope they sound good together, or to pick the names as a pair.
Older siblings are named [name]Odette[/name], [name]Liliane[/name], [name]Maxence[/name] and [name]Evenie[/name].
We have narrowed our list down to:
[name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Rosetta[/name] (too similar to [name]Odette[/name]?)
[name]Clea[/name]
[name]Claudie[/name]
[name]Sidonie[/name] (too similar to [name]Evenie[/name]?)

A few pairs we like are:
[name]Juliana[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Rosetta[/name] and [name]Claudie[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name] and [name]Clea[/name]
[name]Sidonie[/name] and [name]Clea[/name]
[name]Clea[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name]
Jospehine and [name]Claudie[/name]
But we seem to like pretty much every pair possible!!

Also… any ideas on middle names? All of the older children have middle names begining with the letter M, so I think we should stick to this.
A few we are considering are, [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Mathilde[/name] and [name]Mireille[/name].

Thankyou!!

From your list, I’d go with [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name]. They’re both three syllable names with a vintage style that’s not dated. I’m just not a fan of the same endings: no [name]Juliana[/name]/[name]Francesca[/name], [name]Juliana[/name]/[name]Clea[/name], [name]Josephine[/name]/[name]Claudie[/name]. The [name]Rosetta[/name]/[name]Claudie[/name] combo doesn’t work for me since [name]Rosetta[/name] seems more formal than the nickname like [name]Claudie[/name]. The same can be said for [name]Sidonie[/name] and [name]Clea[/name]. [name]Clea[/name]/[name]Pearl[/name] just doesn’t have the same style like [name]Josephine[/name]/[name]Francesca[/name].

My favourites are [name]Francesca[/name], [name]Clea[/name], [name]Juliana[/name] and [name]Claudie[/name].
I like,
[name]Francesca[/name] and [name]Clea[/name]
[name]Clea[/name] and [name]Claudie[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name] and [name]Claudie[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] and [name]Juliana[/name]

I love [name]Mireille[/name] for a nickname, especially [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Mireille[/name]!
What about [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Maeva[/name]?

I actually do think [name]Rosetta[/name] is too close to [name]Odette[/name] and that [name]Sidonie[/name] may be a little rhymey with [name]Evenie[/name], though this one doesn’t bother me so much. You have so many great names to choose from though that I think removing them from the list for those reasons can only help you in the narrowing down process.

Anyway, my favourites of your combos are:

[name]Claudie[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] and [name]Juliana[/name] (Maybe [name]Frankie[/name] and [name]Jules[/name]?)
[name]Francesca[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] (Maybe [name]Franny[/name] and [name]Josie[/name]? Or Cesca and Phina? Or even [name]Frankie[/name] and [name]Joey[/name]! So many options!)
[name]Clea[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name]

What are your other daughters middle names so I don’t repeat them? I love [name]Mireille[/name] and [name]Marguerite[/name] though! ([name]Mathilde[/name] is nice too)

I think something like [name]Claudie[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] and and [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Mireille[/name] works because it balances out the syllables in [name]Claudie[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name], and I think [name]Marguerite[/name] makes [name]Claudie[/name] grander like [name]Josephine[/name], and [name]Mireille[/name] makes [name]Josephine[/name] more fun like [name]Claudie[/name] :slight_smile: Perfect match!
