Hello everyone. My husband and I just found out that our first child actually turned out to be twins, twin girls so I’m kind of overwhelmed. That’s why I’d like to start the name process now and have something set. My question is are [name]Evelina[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] too similar if we plan on predominantly calling [name]Evelina[/name] [name]Eva[/name] and only using her full name for official things? Because I really love the name [name]Eva[/name] but I think that next to [name]Angelina[/name] (for things like yearbook pictures and such) it looks too short so I’d like her to have a longer full name. I had also thought about [name]Meredith[/name] and [name]Maria[/name] but I’m not sure if having them start with the same letter is too matchy. I’m open to any suggestions as well, thank you!
I used to think that twins that shared thesame first initial was cool but there are so many other fun names out there that go well together!
[name]Meredith[/name] & [name]Luciana[/name]
[name]Maria[/name] & [name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name] & [name]Emmaline[/name]
[name]Maria[/name] & [name]Bianca[/name]
Although I am a girl, I don’t have any therefor havent had the chance to pick one out but [name]Bianca[/name] is a really fun girly name. Good for all ages!
[name]Evelina[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] are way to matchy for twins. I would avoid anything that rhymes. If you only want to call her [name]Eva[/name] that I’d name her [name]Eva[/name]. [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] go perfectly together. The length different doesnt matter at all in my opinion. [name]Maria[/name] and [name]Meredith[/name] are too similar as well. Here are some other suggestions:
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Lila[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Maria[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Adriana[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Gabriella[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and Maddelena
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name]
Aneglina and [name]Viola[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name]
Something to be noted: ev[name]ANGELINA[/name]. If you named twins these two names, you are practically naming them the same thing!
Please don’t do that. Consider [name]Angelina[/name] & [name]Evelyn[/name] or [name]Angelica[/name] & [name]Evangeline[/name] instead.
Neither [name]Maria[/name] or [name]Meredith[/name] are names that I’m overly fond of. Also, especially since these are twins we’re talking about, same initials could be thought of as matchy-matchy or cutesy. (Although, so many people seem to–and I flinch in horror–think this is a capital idea! I’ve known both twins named [name]Christina[/name] & [name]Christopher[/name] and [name]Ariella[/name] & [name]Ariana[/name]. Blech!)
I’d go for names of a similar style (but not theme-y), without one or the other being too long or too short in comparison, and not ones that start the same or rhyme.
For example, if you like Fresh Victorian names, think [name]Adelaide[/name] & [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] & [name]Pippa[/name], [name]Violet[/name] & [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Clementine[/name] & [name]Ophelia[/name]. If you prefer latinate, try [name]Renata[/name] & [name]Faustine[/name], [name]Venetia[/name] & [name]Leonie[/name]. Traditional/spunky? [name]Margaret[/name] “[name]Mamie[/name]” & [name]Katherine[/name] “[name]Kitty[/name]”. Secretly same meaning? [name]Susannah[/name] & [name]Lilias[/name]. Subtle virtue names? [name]Felicity[/name] & [name]Prudence[/name]. (But don’t think you can get away with obvious ones such as [name]Mercy[/name] & [name]Hope[/name].) Mythological? [name]Calypso[/name] & [name]Desdemona[/name], [name]Persephone[/name] & [name]Aurora[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t do [name]Anastasia[/name] & Trynitee (really, don’t ever do Trynitee), [name]Taylor[/name] & [name]Tyler[/name], [name]Natalie[/name] “[name]Nat[/name]” and [name]Catherine[/name] “[name]Cat[/name]”, or [name]Dee[/name] & [name]Cassiopeia[/name].
Good luck naming!

Congratulations!
I understand your concern about one twin having a shorter name, but there is a lot of name packed into [name]Eva[/name]. I don’t think a twin named [name]Eva[/name] would be shortchanged at all. [name]Eva[/name] is one of my VERY, VERY favorite girl names! If I were lucky enough to have twin girls tomorrow… they would be [name]Susannah[/name] & [name]Eva[/name]. However, I’d probably then give [name]Susannah[/name] a short middle name & [name]Eva[/name] a longer one.
Hmmm I like the suggestion of [name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name] … and do you guys really think that the length disparity between [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] isn’t too big of a deal? Cause I really do love [name]Eva[/name].
I think [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] are fine for twins. I don’t think anything about [name]Eva[/name] having a shorter name than her sister. I would just go with the name you love.
Good luck!
[name]Hi[/name]!
I’m an identical twin - girl, of course - too! Congratulations!
I think [name]Evelina[/name] are [name]Angelina[/name] are a bit too similar, myself. If you really like the two, and want the nickname [name]Eva[/name], I’d suggest naming one of the twins [name]Evangeline[/name], honestly. I think it sounds more classic, yet still current, than [name]Angelina[/name], and you’ll avoid the [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] associations - which may or may not bother you.
I’m not sure if you had any other names you liked, but if you decided to move forward with [name]Evangeline[/name] “[name]Eva[/name],” her sister could be:
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Cassandra[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Cassie[/name]]
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Helena[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Leni[/name]]
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Lydia[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and Lyddie]
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Magdalen[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Maggie[/name]]
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Penelope[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Poppy[/name]]
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Sophia[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Sophie[/name]]
[name]Evangeline[/name] & [name]Thalia[/name] [[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Lia[/name]]
I really like [name]Evangeline[/name] with another longer name, preferably one with a different end-sound and not beginning with a vowel. Let me know what you think!
[name]Lemon[/name] 
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Lemon[/name]. Thanks for the suggestion and I know this sounds ridiculous haha but whenever I hear [name]Evangeline[/name] I always hear the word Evangelist. The [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] associations dont’ really bother me, I guess because I’ve known a few Angelinas and no one really brings up [name]Jolie[/name] in reference to them. Right now I’m thinking [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] and just ignoring the length thing or [name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name], which someone suggested and I think sound good together.
I love [name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name]! [name]Eva[/name] (or [name]Eve[/name]) could be a middle name for one of your daughters.
What about just [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] as full names?
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] - I could never do that. [name]Eva[/name] [name]Angelina[/name] is an “actress”.
I love [name]Eva[/name], even though its so popular. I am not so fond of [name]Angelina[/name]. would you nn her angie? [name]Angie[/name] and [name]Eva[/name] sound cute together.
[name]Hi[/name]!
Okay - I see your point with [name]Evangeline[/name] and “evangelist,” so I understand why that is out. To me, the difference between [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] in length is a bit odd, and [name]Angelina[/name] feels much more like a pretty princess name, whereas [name]Eva[/name] has an elegant, understated sophistication to it.
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Ariel[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Jezebel[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Lea[/name]*
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Mara[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Naomi[/name]*
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Rachel[/name]*
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Sarah[/name]*
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Shiloh[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Talia[/name]*
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Zara[/name]
I think I’ve asked before, but do you pronounce [name]Eva[/name] as [name]Ava[/name] (A-vuh) - I do! - or (EE-vuh)? This could be important when deciding a sibling name, as you could do (A-vuh) and [name]Lea[/name], but (EE-vuh) and [name]Lea[/name] rhyme…
Let’s see if I can think of any feminine middle names to go with my favorite pairings!
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Lea[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Naomi[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Rachel[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Helena[/name] and [name]Talia[/name] [name]Flora[/name]
Good luck!
[name]Lemon[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Lemon[/name],
I would be pronouncing it ee-va although I really like both pronunciations but I think I slightly prefer this one. I soooo appreciate all of your suggestions and the thought you put into them it’s just that none of them really grab me despite the fact that they are nice (Sorry if that sounds rude, I don’t mean it to be). I think my problem is that I usually gravitate towards longer names with [name]Eva[/name] being one of the sole exceptions therefore it’s hard for me to find a short name that I like as much as names like [name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name]. I also like [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name] but again I can’t think of a good shorter name to match [name]Eva[/name]. I also really love [name]Olivia[/name] (popularity doesn’t really bother me) but I think [name]Olivia[/name] and [name]Eva[/name] might be to V heavy.
I agree with others who don’t really see [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] together. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find a longer name to go with [name]Eva[/name]. [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Adrienne[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Naomi[/name] (lots of syllables in those 5 letters!)
[name]Eva[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name]
Good luck!
First let me say that I think [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] would work beautifully especially if (as someone suggested) you compensate with middle name length.
For instance, [name]Eva[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Kate[/name].
Also, I like [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] (and [name]LOVE[/name] all of the V’s)
Other combos (in case you’re still looking):
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] and [name]Geneva[/name]
