I think [name]Holly[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name] are a great match.
DH and I love [name]Ivy[/name] & [name]Evangeline[/name] (nn [name]Eve[/name]) but I just thought of what we would call them…then I realized it would be [name]Ivy[/name] & [name]Eve[/name]. I’m not sure if I like the sound of that…is the shared middle sound too much?
I need some other opinions on this.
Also, I went through the names on NB’s [name]Christmas[/name] babies blog, and some of your suggestions, and chose the ones I like. Combo ideas?
[name]Christine[/name]–mn?
[name]Eve[/name]–I would prefer [name]Evangeline[/name] so she could go by either
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Natalia[/name]/[name]Natalie[/name]–I would probably only use [name]Natalia[/name] as a mn, but I love [name]Lia[/name].
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]–possibly mn?
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]/[name]Lucy[/name]–I love [name]Lucia[/name], but I would only use [name]Lucy[/name] as a mn.
[name]Hermione[/name]–Too [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]-y?
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Gloria[/name]/[name]Glory[/name]–don’t love but possibly mn because [name]Gloria[/name] is my mother’s name??
[name]Joy[/name]
[name]Dove[/name]–mn?
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Snow[/name]–mn?
[name]Winter[/name]–mn?
[name]Nicola[/name]
[name]Noel[/name]/[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]–mn?
[name]Ruby[/name]
I will think of some of my own combos later, but for now, what do you suggest?
P.S. Please stop talking about [name]Holly[/name]. By now I have ruled it out (as I said, our last name is [name]Collins[/name]) and I love it but can’t use it.
This. It’s full of great ideas. [name]Love[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Natalia[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Noelle[/name].
- [name]Athena[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] & [name]Iris[/name] are both very beautiful & vintage-y.
If they are due near christmas how about [name]Holly[/name], [name]Noelle[/name], [name]Natalie[/name]/[name]Natalia[/name].
Maybe even [name]Carol[/name], [name]Faith[/name], [name]Ivy[/name] & [name]Star[/name] or names meaning [name]Star[/name] e.g [name]Hetty[/name].
What about [name]Ida[/name], [name]Ada[/name], [name]Vivian[/name]?
Or even [name]Florence[/name] or [name]Dorothy[/name]. 
I really don’t like [name]Natalia[/name], I should have said that before. And, as I said in my previous post, [name]Holly[/name] is ABSOLUTELY out of the question.
As I said before, [name]Holly[/name] is TOTALLY out of the question.
And, honestly, I don’t like [name]Natalia[/name] at all. [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] is pretty, [name]Iris[/name] [name]Bianca[/name]??? Possibly??
[name]Eloise[/name] sounds like it would fit both of your criteria! Beautiful historic name with lots of glamor and spunk.
Others:
[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Evelina[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Antonia[/name]
[name]Emmanuelle[/name]
[name]Love[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] too!
[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] or [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Joy[/name] and [name]Serena[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] (both first names symbolizing peace, and the middle names reflecting [name]Christmas[/name] )
[name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Joy[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] ([name]Joy[/name] representing the [name]Joy[/name] of [name]Christmas[/name])
[name]Mary[/name]-[name]Grace[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] and [name]Christiana[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
We think [name]Iris[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] may be our final choice, but of course if the babies are born and they don’t match the names, we’ll change them! Thanks for all of your input!
We’ve been thinking more about the names…and we really love [name]Eloise[/name]. We like [name]Eloise[/name] & [name]Clara[/name] together…wdyt berries?? Middle names (something christmasey for [name]Eloise[/name])?
[name]How[/name] about [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]?
Well [name]Clara[/name] is the girl in The Nutcracker, so that’s [name]Christmas[/name]-y.
[name]Molly[/name] and [name]Kitty[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name] and [name]Tallulah[/name]
[name]Harlow[/name] and Gwynnen
[name]Lola[/name] and [name]Circe[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] and [name]Fleur[/name]
Some suggestions to go with [name]Eloise[/name]:
[name]Aurora[/name] - dawn
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] -star (would go well with [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Lucille[/name] or [name]Celia[/name] as a twin name)
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] - angel
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Maude[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Laura[/name]
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name] - light
[name]Celia[/name] - heavenly
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Coralie[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name] - light
[name]Felicia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
I like [name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Stella[/name] together. [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Stella[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] would be very cute! I also love the names [name]Snow[/name] and [name]Winter[/name]!
What about:
[name]Lux[/name] -light
[name]Blythe[/name] -joyous
[name]Angelique[/name] -of the angels
[name]Honor[/name]/a
I love the combo [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]! Good luck
[name]Noel[/name] is nice as a middle name if you don’t want to name one of them [name]Noelle[/name].
As someone already mentioned on here, I was thinking matilda winter and iris noelle? I think the [name]Christmas[/name] themed names are to cliche in the first name spot but I say anything goes in the middle!
[name]Stella[/name] & [name]Marlena[/name] : )
[name]How[/name] about [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
I also like [name]Clara[/name] [name]Dove[/name], [name]Clara[/name] [name]Winter[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] [name]Snow[/name]!
[name]Nellie[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name]
