Need a name for 1 of my TWIN girls!

Hello, I need help.

I am expecting twin girls, and need a name for one.

I have decided 100% that I am naming one of them [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]. To me, it’s everything I wanted in a name…classic, feminine, a bit exotic.
(P.s. I will NOT be using nickname [name_f]Toni[/name_f]. Yuck.)

My older daughters name is [name_f]Maria[/name_f]. Which I think goes perfectly with [name_f]Antonia[/name_f].

So now I need another name…here are some ideas I have so far, but I’m not really “feeling” any of them 100%. I would hate to just settle on one because I can’t think of anything else.

[name_f]Giada[/name_f] (gee-ah-dah)
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (lou-wee-zah)
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] (vee-enn-ah)
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (lou-see-ah)

That’s it. Help me! Any more ideas that fit?

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] fits very well with [name_f]Maria[/name_f] and [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] and has the same classic, feminine, less used feel.

I like either [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] best.

[name_f]Giada[/name_f] is properly pronounced like JYAH-dah in Italian, not gee-ah-da.

I like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] the best, but I would prefer

[name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] and [name_f]Luisa[/name_f].

[name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Fiamma[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Arabesque[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Satine[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Sabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & Revelie
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Salome[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & Niccola
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & Valorine
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Violette[/name_f]

Good luck!

[name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], and [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] are perfect together!

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] is so pretty. As is [name_f]Maria[/name_f]. I’d pair another Italian name. Of your list, I like [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]. What about:

[name_f]Chiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Bettina[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Federica[/name_f]
Orietta
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Josefina[/name_f]
[name_f]Simona[/name_f]

Twins! Congrats! :slight_smile: I like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], and the variation [name_f]Luisa[/name_f] that someone else suggested. What about . . .

[name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] &

[name_f]Caterina[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] - fave
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f]
[name_f]Pamina[/name_f]
[name_f]Paola[/name_f]
[name_f]Perdita[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] these help! And on a side note, I agree with you on [name_f]Toni[/name_f]; I like [name_f]Nia[/name_f].

Right away, without seeing your own suggestions, I thought: [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Stella[/name_f]

[name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Stella[/name_f]

[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] goes great with [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]! Also like [name_f]Luciana[/name_f] (maybe a tad more) With your sibset, I also like [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] and [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]. Good luck and congrats!

I like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] a lot!

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] also came to mind.

I love all your suggestions but [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] and [name_f]Giada[/name_f] together makes me think food network…two high profile female chefs [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] Lofaso and [name_f]Giada[/name_f] de Laurentiis

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you want a name that ends in A?

I’m going out on a limb here a little because my suggestion is a little on the match-y side… but I think [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] and [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] sound beautiful. They sound nice as twins to big sis [name_f]Maria[/name_f].

[name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]!

I vote for [name_f]Lucia[/name_f].

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daniela[/name_f]
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f]
[name_u]Nicola[/name_u]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Valeria[/name_f]

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] is one of my middle names - I also like it for the lovely novella “My [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]” by [name_f]Willa[/name_f] Cather - gorgeous story.

[name_f]Maria[/name_f] and [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] are a great match.

Other names:
[name_f]Sandra[/name_f] (or [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f])
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Bettina[/name_f]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Suzannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Bonita[/name_f]
[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f]
Romola / Romilly

I think the names on your list would work well, but I understand that feeling of a name just not being quite right.

Previous posters have given some great suggestions, but here are some that came to my mind:
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]

Thank you for all the responses!

I do know that [name_f]Giada[/name_f] is supposed to be pronounced ‘Jah-dah’ but I don’t like it like that. So far [name_f]Giada[/name_f] is on the top of my list.
Also, I do really like Lousia, but I’m just not feeling it 100%. Same with [name_f]Lucia[/name_f].

Some suggestions that I really like, but not sure if I am brave enough to use are:
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] ([name_u]Love[/name_u]!)
[name_f]Satine[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] (Like it, but it looks like the word ‘saliva’ to me. I can’t get it out of my brain now.)

I feel like when I hear “the” name I will just know. Keep 'em coming!!!

Of your 4 options, I like [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] the best because I feel like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] are too common / not exotic enough and I’m just not a fan of [name_f]Giada[/name_f].

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Violetta[/name_f] was my first thought. I think [name_f]Violetta[/name_f] is gorgeous and works perfectly with [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] & [name_f]Maria[/name_f].

Some more ideas:
[name_u]Ren[/name_u] - very short, but so pretty.
[name_f]Freida[/name_f] - a pretty different vibe from [name_f]Maria[/name_f] & [name_f]Antonia[/name_f], but I think it fits in really nicely.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - Same as [name_f]Freida[/name_f], different, but pretty.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] - I can’t stop thinking about [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] in this sibset, so I’ll put her down.
