Twin girls- top 3 for each, opinions wanted!! :)

I posted earlier about picking middle names for my twin girls, due in [name]August[/name]. My husband and I (and our mothers… HA) have discussed and debated many middle names and have narrowed our options down to three for each baby! I’ve listed my favorite option, his favorite, and the one we both like. We would really appreciate your feedback and thoughts on our choices! If it helps you, our last name starts with a B and is one syllable.

My choice: [name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
His choice: [name]Melina[/name] [name]Charlize[/name]
We both like: [name]Melina[/name] [name]Lucille[/name]

and

My choice: [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Katrina[/name]
His choice: [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]
We both like: [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Regina[/name]

Thanks to all! :slight_smile:

Congrats on your twins!
My picks are [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Regina[/name] and [name]Melina[/name] [name]Charlize[/name]
best of luck!

[name]Hi[/name]! Congratulations on your girls - you’ve got very pretty, feminine names picked out for them. I think [name]Melina[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] compliment one another very well, much better than the names given to my twin and I, in my opinion…

[name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Melina[/name] [name]Charlize[/name]
[name]Melina[/name] [name]Lucille[/name]

I’m not totally sold on any of these, to be completely frank, but I suppose I’ll choose [name]Melina[/name] [name]Lucille[/name]. I would have chosen [name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], but the names have repeated sounds that bother me. [name]Charlize[/name] just reminds me of [name]Charlize[/name] [name]Theron[/name], who is lovely, but the connection for me is a little strong.

[name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Katrina[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Regina[/name]

Oh! I love [name]Miranda[/name] so much! I’d even make the name [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] I love [name]Miranda[/name] so much, but then you’d have matching letters. Actually, I love [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] together as twin names - fabulous, really! Okay, enough on that. I like both [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Regina[/name], simply because I think alliteration is whimsical and fun.

So, I suppose I’d pick [name]Milena[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name], but, again, I’m not sold entirely on the [name]Milena[/name] combinations. Maybe you’d like to experiment with alliteration for both girls? I personally think [name]Milena[/name] [name]Mirabel[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Regina[/name] are truly stunning names for your girls, and [name]Mirabel[/name] means “wonderful” while [name]Regina[/name] means “queen” - those are both quite positive!

Okay, I feel at this point that I need to clarify the pronunciation of [name]Milena[/name], because maybe I’ve been saying it wrong. I was saying it along the lines of meh-[name]LEE[/name]-nuh, but maybe that is terribly incorrect and it is more like mih-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh? Help!

Oh, back to my other thought of [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] together, which I’m totally in love with. I would’ve loved for my sister and I to be called [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name]! Anyway, with a one-syllable last name, I’d opt for a two-syllable middle name considering you’ve chosen three-syllable first names - I just like that stair-step flow best. [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] is gorgeous, and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Cadence[/name] or [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Vera[/name] would compliment it beautifully, in my opinion. But, that’s really just getting ahead of myself.

Let me summarize this overly long post - sorry, it’s late and my mind is rambling! - with these:

A) [name]Melina[/name] [name]Mirabel[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Regina[/name]*
B) [name]Melina[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]

And, my bonus sets!

A) [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Cadence[/name]
B) [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Vera[/name]*

Okay, good luck with those baby girls!

[name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]

Those are the middles I think pair best with both names and match each other best in style, plus it means you both get one favourite each so everyone should be happy! :slight_smile:

My choice: [name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
We both like: [name]Melina[/name] [name]Lucille[/name]

and

His choice: [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]

My picks are definitely [name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]. [name]Both[/name] are lovely (though I much prefer [name]Milena[/name] over [name]Melina[/name], which seems a little made-up). [name]Charlize[/name] is dated and also invented-sounding. [name]Katrina[/name] and [name]Regina[/name] are nice, but [name]Miranda[/name] is gorgeous!

I like [name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name] best.

I never thought this day would come… We have reached a verdict! We are so excited about the impending arrival of our twin girls, and are pleased to announce that their names will be [name]Melina[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]!! Your responses have been so helpful! It was reassuring to see that these names received the majority votes from you guys, as these combinations seemed to be growing on us more than the others.

We’ve also decided that because we still love [name]Regina[/name], if we have another girl in the future, that we will use it for her middle name. It would certainly be a first name if it didn’t rhyme with [name]Melina[/name] though! Hmm… [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Regina[/name]? [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Regina[/name]? [name]Lucille[/name] [name]Regina[/name]? It’s too soon to be thinking about this, I know. :wink:

THANKS AGAIN!!

Big congrats on choosing your perfect names for your lovely twins!!
I think the names you picked are perfect together :slight_smile:
And [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Regina[/name] would make a lovely future sister :slight_smile:

Congratulations! [name]Melina[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] are lovely names. I would pick [name]Melina[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Miranda[/name].
