Hey everyone! I made a post a couple of months ago about names for our identical twin girls coming in a few months! We like vintage and classic names. I have one four year old daughter named [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f] (nn Ginny). I have strong opinions on the twin’s names, that they must “go” with Virginia’s name. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is pretty adamant that they don’t sound too “twinny.” Middle names are definitely going to be [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] (family names).
Here is what we have so far, but we cannot make a decision
[name_f]My[/name_f] top contenders: [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_u]Marian[/name_u], [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
Names my husband likes but I’m on the fence: [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (CC and [name_u]Jo[/name_u]. But we have a cat named [name_u]Jo[/name_u] [name_u]Jo[/name_u], so is that weird?)
Names we like but not love: [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
Any suggestions?
Congratulations!!
I love [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] & [name_f]Margot[/name_f] my favourite combos i think would be…
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] & [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] also came to mind
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites would be [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_u]Marian[/name_u]! You have such a lovely style, might I suggest:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] “Bea / Bee”

Congratulations!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] but I’m wondering if [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] is usually called [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] are too close? [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Olive[/name_f] would be a lovely pairing too. I really like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] too and the nickname [name_f]Cece[/name_f]. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]?
Maybe you would like …
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
