I think we have a top 5 sets! Which are your favorites and why? What do you like about the names?
[name]Alaia[/name] & [name]Hania[/name] (My Fav)
[name]Jasmine[/name] & [name]Leilani[/name] (both are flower names)
[name]Eliana[/name] & [name]Cynthia[/name] ([name]Eliana[/name] means sun and [name]Cynthia[/name] means moon)
[name]Aurora[/name] & [name]Amaya[/name] ([name]Aurora[/name] has a day meaning and [name]Amaya[/name] has a night meaning)
[name]Cassandra[/name] & [name]Anastasia[/name] (DH’s Fav)
We also have a few names that we like that don’t necessarily fit in pairs, [name]Neela[/name], [name]Paisley[/name], and [name]Jordana[/name]. These could be used for these twins or saved for future children. I think certain names fit better with certain twin sets. Like [name]Neela[/name] fits beautifully with [name]Hania[/name] and [name]Alaia[/name], [name]Jordana[/name] is great with [name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name] and so on.
[name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Hania[/name] - I absolutely adore [name]Alaia[/name]. Like, I find it so incredibly stunning. I would swoon if I met one. [name]Hania[/name] is lovely, but I don’t especially love it. I’m not sure I could tell you why.
[name]Jasmine[/name] and [name]Leilani[/name] - I absolutely love [name]Leilani[/name]! Have you thought about [name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Leilani[/name]? I think they stylistically work really well, and with [name]Alaia[/name] meaning “sublime” and [name]Leilani[/name] meaning “a heavenly flower”, they short of a share a sentiment of transcendent goodness? I don’t know if that makes sense, lol. But I do really like [name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Leilani[/name] together! I do like the idea of two less-conspicuous flower names together, although I admit I like [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] more, personally.
[name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Cynthia[/name] - I love the idea of these two together, but I just don’t love [name]Cynthia[/name], sorry! I think [name]Thia[/name] is a cute nn, but [name]Cynthia[/name]'s so dated to me. Have you considered something like [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Luna[/name]? I like that.
[name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Amaya[/name] - my favorite as they are! I love the contrasting meanings and they’re so cute together.
[name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name] - I really, really like [name]Anastasia[/name] (and quite a few of its nicknames), but I don’t care fore [name]Cassandra[/name], sorry. It just feels too dated to me, and I don’t care for [name]Cassie[/name] really. I like [name]Anastasia[/name] and [name]Jordana[/name] together more–I like the fact that they share the "ana"s, but one’s at the beginning and the other’s at the end.
[name]Love[/name] your pairing of [name]Dominic[/name] and [name]Jordana[/name], btw!
I love them all! If only you were having 10 bahaha!
[name]Alaia[/name] & [name]Hania[/name] - I like how rare both of these names are and this one has been pretty constant since you started looking.
[name]Jasmine[/name] & [name]Leilani[/name] - So adorable! I do like @[name]Ash[/name]'s suggestion of [name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Leilani[/name] too. These are just so adorable though, I am still gushing at how cute this is!
[name]Eliana[/name] & [name]Cynthia[/name] - I like how the meanings contradict, not sure if I can see you with a [name]Cynthia[/name] though. What about [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Selena[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name] & [name]Amaya[/name] - I like that they are both matching A names with contradicting meanings and you have loved both names from the beginning, I love the combo!
[name]Cassandra[/name] & [name]Anastasia[/name] - Aww did he like my idea that much? So you know I love this one haha! I like the similar feel to both names and the possibility for similar NNs to make them match.
[name]Alaia[/name] & [name]Hania[/name] - I like [name]Alaia[/name] but not sure with [name]Hania[/name].
[name]Jasmine[/name] & [name]Leilani[/name] (both are flower names) - Like it. Not my favourite flower name, but I like them together.
[name]Eliana[/name] & [name]Cynthia[/name] - [name]Love[/name] the contradict meaning. But I don’t like [name]Eliana[/name], much prefer something like [name]Elena[/name]. [name]Cynthia[/name]'s my own name. And I love it, especially with the mythological connection. Actually [name]Cynthia[/name] is not exactly means the moon, but from kynthos, and related to the goddess of the moon.
For your record, I am 19, almost 20. I know a lot of namesakes in my age, but not a single newborn. Still better than the way-too-popular-name though.
[name]Aurora[/name] & [name]Amaya[/name] - My absolute favourite (from your list).
[name]Cassandra[/name] & [name]Anastasia[/name] (DH’s Fav) - Sounds pretty. But I never been a fan of [name]Anastasia[/name].
[name]Alaia[/name] & [name]Hania[/name] - they sound nice but you could have pronunciation problems.
[name]Jasmine[/name] & [name]Leilani[/name] - pretty.
[name]Eliana[/name] & [name]Cynthia[/name] - I like these. [name]Cynthia[/name] was popular in the 50s-60s, but I like it and would like to see it used.
[name]Aurora[/name] & [name]Amaya[/name] - I like these two together.
[name]Cassandra[/name] & [name]Anastasia[/name] - my favorites. I love the names, and I like them together.
[name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name] go wonderfully together! They are both flowing, beautiful, and lyrical names. Plus, they aren’t matchy-matchy!
[name]Aurora[/name] & [name]Amaya[/name] - [name]Just[/name] love
[name]Cassandra[/name] & [name]Anastasia[/name] - I love [name]Anastasia[/name] more than [name]Cassandra[/name] but they do make a lovely sibset.
These are all about the same for me
[name]Alaia[/name] & [name]Hania[/name] - I still struggle to pronounce them
[name]Jasmine[/name] & [name]Leilani[/name] - ok
[name]Eliana[/name] & [name]Cynthia[/name] - I like [name]Eliana[/name] but [name]Cynthia[/name] is very dated to me. I grew up with several.
[name]Cassandra[/name] & [name]Anastasia[/name]: [name]Both[/name] gorgeous, compliment nicely imo, and plenty of nn options.
[name]Aurora[/name] & [name]Amaya[/name]: No secret how much I adore [name]Amaya[/name] and I like the way the meanings compliement
[name]Eliana[/name] & [name]Cynthia[/name]: Two beautiful names. [name]Cynthia[/name] feels fresh to me again.
[name]Alaia[/name] & [name]Hania[/name]: [name]Alaia[/name] makes my brain hurt a little, I just dont know how to approach vowel clusters like that. [name]Hania[/name] is lovely though.
[name]Jasmine[/name] & [name]Leilani[/name]: Not a fan of [name]Jasmine[/name] at all. [name]Leilani[/name] is pretty, but these two dont have the spark for me that your other sets do.
1 [name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name]
2 [name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Hania[/name]
3 [name]Jasmine[/name] and [name]Leilani[/name]
4 [name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Amaya[/name]
5 [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Cynthia[/name]
I love your top 5, you’ve got some really nice choices! It’s hard for me to rank my favorites because they’re all quite different. For me, it would come down to how these names would fit with my other favorites for future children. So if you use [name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name], I think [name]Jordana[/name] and [name]Dominic[/name] could round out a really great sibset. [name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Hania[/name] go well with [name]Neela[/name] and maybe something like [name]Ezra[/name] (?), which is an all together very different sibset… I think [name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Amaya[/name] are quite versatile though, they could ‘match’ lots of different names stylistically. Having ‘matching’ sibsets is totally a personal preference thing though, so don’t know it it’s even something that particularly bothers you! But whatever you decide, best wishes for you and your twins
I would love for the styles to match to some degree! If I did [name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Anastasia[/name], [name]Jordana[/name] and [name]Dominic[/name] would definitely top the list for future children. If I did [name]Alaia[/name] and [name]Hania[/name], my top choice for another girl would be [name]Neela[/name], for a boy probably [name]Asher[/name] or [name]Bodhi[/name]. [name]Jasmine[/name] and [name]Leilani[/name], I would probably continue on the flower tradition for another girl, or at least keep the nature theme, maybe [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Juniper[/name] and for a boy I would probably do [name]Sequoia[/name] or something similar. [name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Amaya[/name] I agree would fit with pretty much anything, as probably would [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Cynthia[/name]. Thank you for you thoughts
bahaha!
