Twin Girl Names to Go with Vivian and Difficult Last Name

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

I am expecting identical twin girls in [name_f]May[/name_f]. We had a super easy time naming our first daughter ([name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]), but cannot agree on anything this time around.

We have a could of parameters that are making our search a little harder:

  • Our last name is three syllables and ends in -lia (as in “[name_f]Leah[/name_f]”), so a lot of names that end with “a” do not sound good with our last name.
  • We would like each kid to have their own initials, so no M or J names either.
  • We don’t want too matchy to either [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] or our names ([name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_m]Joe[/name_m]) – we ruled out [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], which we like a lot, for this reason
  • We are pretty set on [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] for one of the babies, but not sure on the middle name.
  • We like more classic, but less common names.

Using an app where we each considered names, below are the only names we have liked so far. This list is over-inclusive, but hopefully gives a sense of the type of names we like:
-[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
-[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
-[name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]
-[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
-[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
-[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
-[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
-[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
-[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
-[name_f]Amity[/name_f]
-[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
-[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]

Any suggestions on combos or first names/middle names would be super helpful.

Thank you!

[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] seems like a bit of an outlier to your style, but if you love it you should use it.

[name_f]Colette[/name_f] or maybe [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Clara[/name_f] with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]! So classy. [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] too. They’re also short and easy to spell which is good with a ‘‘difficult last name’’. Maybe [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

two sisters for [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]…

I really like [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] for you…also
Also [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], and

Ooo
What about

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] and [name_f]Janelle[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]

I don’t think [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] really fits with the style you are going for, but I think a name like [name_f]Janelle[/name_f] can bridge [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]. (I do really like [name_u]Sloane[/name_u])

One of my GP combos os twin girls [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] and [name_u]Shea[/name_u]

Edited: I think this is one of those times that like individual sisters may not be cohesive but the names together are sisters

I really love a lot on this list

Elise
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] ([name_u]Cass[/name_u])
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]

I think of these [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] & [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] sound the best with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] but I’m assuming neither will work because of A ending with [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] and M initial with [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]? I’ll try to find some three syllable classics similar in style.

Catherine ([name_f]Cat[/name_f])
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] / [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]

12

Coletta (but maybe not with your surname)? [name_f]Colette[/name_f]? [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]? [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f]? Anything in that family. :slight_smile:

13

Vivian [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is stunning! I also really love [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] despite the fact that it seems like an outlier for your style. I think finding something that bridges the differences between [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] is the way to go.

As for middle names for [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], I think something very feminine and classic would work well. Maybe [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]/Isabelle/Isobel, or [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]? I think any of those would be gorgeous and tie in well with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Amity is my personal favorite from you list, as it has those elements of a classic name while still being fresher and newer in sound. I’m not sure [name_f]Amity[/name_f] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] are my favorite though, but I do like the general vibe that they give. I also really like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and think it’s a great middle ground between [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], as it has the strong v sound of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] but the modern coolness of [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]. I could see [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] as sisters. But I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] might sound just a little too much [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].

I also like [name_f]Annica[/name_f]/Annika and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] but I know you said names that end in -a don’t really work for your last name (I know you don’t want repeating initials). I think something with a soft but distinct vowel sound will help tie everything together.

Some names that come to mind (sorry in advance for any repeats):
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Aster[/name_u] - my favorite!
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u](e)
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Ember[/name_u]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] - also works well as a middle and is similar to [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Greer[/name_u]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]

My personal favorite is [name_u]Aster[/name_u], maybe with the middle name [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! I think [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Aster[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] work wonderfully together if you decide to do all traditional middles. Best of luck deciding!

Hi there.

Vivian [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is gorgeous, & [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] is totally perfect for a little sister. Both smart & classic & feminine w/out being frilly. Easy but not over done.

Here are my thoughts on the rest of the list:

Elise-I don’t know why, but I don’t care for this one. There’s nothing wrong w/it. I just feel like it sounds a little abrupt.

Alessandra-It’s not my favorite, but it’s fine. Kind of different. I feel like it’s a little heavy.

Ivy-Is it too close to [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]? I want to like it. I like the imagery & the spunky-ness. But sometimes I hear I.V.

Annabel-I like this. And I think that this spelling looks sleek & nice w/Vivian. [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is a good example of a well known simple name that’s not too popular.

Sophie-Super cute & I like it w/Vivian. It’s way way popular though.

Cassandra-I don’t love it. I don’t know why. It seems kind of snobby.

Violet-I love this. It’s too close to [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] though, & getting pretty popular.

Audrey-This is nice. It’s sweet & vintage & a little glamorous.

Clara-I like this. It’s smart & pretty & down to earth & old fashioned. Nice w/Vivian too.

Eliza-I like this. It’s kind of cheeky & vintage. Not too popular but not too fancy.

Amity-I think it may be nice as a mn. I don’t know why, but it doesn’t seem name-y enough as a fn. Maybe I’m just not used to it. [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Amity[/name_f] would be really cool.

Alexandra-I like it slightly more than [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f], but still not my cup of tea. The nn [name_u]Alex[/name_u] seems too hard to avoid, & that’s so popular for boys.

Madeline-Oh, that’s nice. Kind of popular, & [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] may be somewhat unavoidable. Which isn’t my favorite. I like the nn [name_f]Maisy[/name_f]!

Sorry for any repeats, but here are a few suggestions that you may like:

With the names you’ve listed I think [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] works well with [name_f]Amity[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] as middle names.

Here are some other combos with the names you posted
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (close to [name_f]Clara[/name_f])

18

The first name that came to mind was [name_f]Margot[/name_f], however I know you said you want to avoid M names but I think it’s very different to your own and I always think this name goes so well with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].

Something with a bit of old Hollywood glamour would work with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], suggestions:

Margot
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Brigitte[/name_f]
[name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Lana[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Loretta[/name_f]

For [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]’s twin, maybe…

[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]

Payton

Firstly congratulations!

From what I’m understanding your trying to find two sister names for your gorgeously named daughter [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Stylistically [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] clashes with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] just because [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] is a rather trendy surname name whereas [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is very classic. But I think [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] would be a really cool middle name teamed with something that is more classic.

From your list I think the names that would work really well with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with the middle name [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] would be [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I really love [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] that’s super pretty! Other names from your list which I think work really well with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] are [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].
Combinations I like from your list
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] & [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] ~ I like the idea of alliteration tying the twins together!

Other ideas you’ve had a few suggestions count repeats as being in agreement
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] & [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] & [name_f]Roxana[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] & [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_f]Bronte[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] & [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] & [name_u]Romilly[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]

Hope this helped
