Long time lurker here expecting her two girls in August! They will most likely be our last kids so choosing their names has been especially hard for my husband and I.
Their big brother is [name_m]Julien[/name_m], who just turned 3 in February. His name just fell into place and fits him perfectly and we want to love his sisters names just as much!
We absolutely love the name [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and want to use it but it’s been tough trying to find a second name we love equally. If we don’t find a perfect pair for it then we probably will leave it on the shelf. We still have a lot of names that we loved for girls during our first pregnancy but now that we have this 2 for 1 special it’s hard to find a match that feels right. We also want to avoid names that start with the same letter since they are fraternal twins.
Other names we liked on their own are [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Keira[/name_f], [name_f]Kyla[/name_f], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Leila[/name_f]/[name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], [name_u]Carson[/name_u], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
We would love pair off any of these names and it doesn’t have to be limited to the ones I listed! What do you think?
P.S. My twin sister and I are [name_f]Destiny[/name_f] & [name_u]Angel[/name_u] (And our little sister is [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]/[name_f]Rose[/name_f]) so I’m no stranger to nontraditional/uncommon names. (My husband is a twin as well. We really should’ve seen this coming, honestly.)
I’ve always loved the name [name_f]Clarity[/name_f]! I had a wonderful soccer coach with that name and it’s always stuck with me. Thanks for the suggestions!
Thank you so much for the pairs! The more I look at [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] & [name_f]Keira[/name_f] the more like it. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
I like pairing [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] with names that are [name_m]French[/name_m] in origin or also mean something heavenly or both.
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], as suggested by the previous poster. I’ve always loved [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] both have sky connections, which is so lovely.
To be frank I don’t think I would define most of the names on your list as nontraditional; however, I do think that is what you are hoping for, so maybe that is why names like [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] haven’t felt right.
The two names I really do like from your list are [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f]/[name_f]Layla[/name_f]. I prefer the [name_f]Leila[/name_f] spelling, but each of these names fits well with [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and with each other, and both are somewhat unexpected.
The only other combo I would pull out from your list is [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. It’s a little bit cutesy because both are word names, but it could be a fun tie to each other as well as to you and your twin, since you both also have word names.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] (really like this!)
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f]
