Girl Names

[name]How[/name] wonderful - your wanting to provide the girls with a better life, your gift to the adoptive parents, and the new parents having you chose the twins’ names.

I think all of your name choices are lovely and classic names. You’ve got great taste.

I don’t know if you are worried about the flow of the first and middle names. After all, people so rarely use their middle names! But if you are, you might want to avoid the first names ending in “-a”, and to chose shorter first names to go with those longer middles.

[name]Lila[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] (I’m not sure as my middle name is [name]Lilliana[/name]) - I think tying your name to one of the girls is sweet. But if you want to avoid the double “-a”, maybe [name]Lily[/name]? It’s much more popular though…

[name]Julia[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] - [name]Julia[/name] is a great name. BUT it’s a little rhyme-y with [name]Cecelia[/name] (if you care about flow). What about [name]Juno[/name]?

[name]Iris[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] - Very pretty, lovely flow…

[name]Rosa[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] - [name]Rosa[/name]'s a pretty name, but (if you care about flow), there’s the double “-a” thing - what about [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Rosalie[/name]?

[name]Inez[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] - Gorgeous!

[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] - [name]Leonie[/name]'s a nice name, but (if you care about flow), it’s three syllables so the whole name feels a bit long…?

[name]Elisa[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] - [name]Elisa[/name] is a pretty, timeless, classic name, but (if you care about flow), there’s the double “-a” thing - what about [name]Elise[/name], maybe even [name]Elodie[/name]?

[name]June[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] - Nice combination

[name]India[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] - I’m [name]Indian[/name], and so, I really, truly don’t like [name]India[/name] as a name.

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] - I adore [name]Tessa[/name] name, but (if you care about flow), there’s the double “-a” thing - what about [name]Tess[/name]?

[name]Mila[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] - I really like this combination, in spite of the double “-a”, I still think it works somehow.

Of your choices, I like [name]June[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] the most.

Someone else suggested [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Alice[/name], and [name]Agnes[/name], which would work well with the middles and seem to fit in with the other names you chose. [name]Ruby[/name] also seems to fit, but you might be British/European (based on the way you spelled favourite) so you might not want to use it because of popularity. Maybe [name]Esme[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Maren[/name]/[name]Maris[/name], [name]Pearl[/name].

I think [name]Lila[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Rosa[/name] [name]Theadora[/name] sounds gorgeous as a combo. I also like [name]India[/name] and [name]Leonie[/name] together.

thanks girls! your suggestion are so useful! Some of you suggest [name]Alice[/name], which is a beutiful name! [name]Alice[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] sounds so cute!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the name [name]Lillian[/name]/[name]Lila[/name]/[name]Lilly[/name] and I’m sure I don’t want to use it, I think it may sound a little narcisit to name one of the girls after me. Of course [name]Ingrid[/name] is out the list too (even if I think is a beautiful name).

I do love [name]Ana[/name]/[name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name]! I think is so classy! [name]Anna[/name] is extremely timeless, I really like it.

So, I haven’t delate any names from the list (except [name]Lila[/name]), but I have added: [name]Anna[/name]/[name]Ana[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name], [name]Anja[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] (I think that [name]Anja[/name] and [name]Mila[/name] could be a great sibset) [name]Alice[/name] [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Agnes[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name].

Apart from that, which spelling you prefer [name]Ana[/name] or [name]Anna[/name]? And, could you please suggest some name to match with [name]Ana[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]? I’m afraid [name]Anna[/name] is too common, and the rest of the names in my list are too out there.

BY the way, the babies due date is in three weeks or less! I am SO anxious!

Thanks again! I love reading your comments! I’m glad you think I’m brave and not a coward that is running away from their own daugthers. I would love to raise the babies, but I can’t do it, and I don’t want my kids to have a horrible mom, or worst a horrible chilhood without a family. I just would like to know, what the girls will think in 15 years, but I guess that is impossible, I hope they can understand me. I just want their hapiness, and I know that their adoptive family is FANTASTIC.

[name]Love[/name],
[name]Ingrid[/name].

I love [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]!

I pronounce [name]Ana[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] differently. [name]Anna[/name] has a short “a” sound, like “man.” [name]Ana[/name] has an long “ah” sound, like “mall.” Personally, with two middle names ending in -a, I wouldn’t choose first names ending in -a. I do agree that [name]Anya[/name] and [name]Mila[/name] make a cute sister set, but maybe with middle names like [name]Anya[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Mila[/name] [name]Caroline[/name].

What about something sweet like [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name]? [name]Maisie[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] have the same number of letters, if that means anything to you.

If you’re after something a little more hipster, like [name]Mila[/name], what about [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Piper[/name], [name]Romy[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], or [name]Violet[/name]? Yes, some of these have come up before. A pairing like [name]Piper[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] and [name]Romy[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] is a little more modern, whereas [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Olive[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] ([name]Lettie[/name] and [name]Livy[/name]?) is a little mixed, and [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] are more vintage.

If the girls are to be born in [name]July[/name], you might consider gaining naming inspiration from their birth month. Their birth stone is [name]Ruby[/name], and one of their birth flowers is Water [name]Lily[/name] (the other is Larkspur - harder to work around). While [name]Lily[/name] is off the table, [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lilith[/name] make for a creative and meaningful set - [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] and [name]Lilith[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] are pretty together - they could always go by [name]Bee[/name] and [name]Lil[/name], which is cute!

I’ve heard [name]Anna[/name] pronounced with an A like “man” or “mall,” but [name]Ana[/name] is pretty exclusively like “mall.” [name]Ana[/name] feels more exclusively exotic, but I adore [name]Anna[/name]–it’s a Greek friend’s name, and there’s [name]Anna[/name] on Downton [name]Abbey[/name], and it’s just a beautiful classic that’ll carry a girl well from babyhood to adulthood and even old age. It’s a name with dignity, and it feels well-matched to most of your choices.

I’d like to see [name]Anna[/name] with [name]Julia[/name]. [name]Anna[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] is a favorite of mine, though [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name] is also beautiful.
[name]Anna[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] are very sweet together. [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Theodora[/name].
[name]Anna[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]. Oh, that’s nice.

27

My favorites from your list are [name]Leonie[/name] & [name]Inez[/name]! What a great gift you are giving to a family!!! [name]How[/name] brave & wonderful you are! & what a great gift for them to give you, the honor of naming your babies :slight_smile:

Fantastic name options! I’d like to see:

[name]Julia[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] & [name]Leonie[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] & [name]June[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] & [name]June[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Julia[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] & [name]Rosa[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] & [name]Julia[/name] [name]Theodora[/name]

I love [name]Lemon[/name]'s suggestion of using their birth stone and birth flower as inspiration. [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Julia[/name] [name]Theodora[/name], perhaps? [name]Julia[/name] is related to [name]July[/name].

I wish you the very best of luck! :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone again!

lemon: thanks for you suggestions! I love [name]Romy[/name]! What do you think about [name]Romy[/name] [name]Cecelia[/name]?

brigid: I really like [name]Anna[/name], but I’m a bit worried about the alliteration…maybe there are too much “a”

rachelrin: I really like [name]Leonie[/name], I think it has a spunky feeling. I also think that [name]Inez[/name] is sweet and classy. BTW, I also like the name [name]Rachel[/name] :slight_smile:

svea: thanks for your suggestion! I’m not sure about [name]Ruby[/name]… BTW, is [name]CecElia[/name], not [name]CecIlia[/name] :slight_smile:

So, I think I’ll start a new thread, with a new list that includes a smaller list. I’ve come up with some combinations I think I really like (thanks to your suggestions, of course)

[name]Love[/name],
[name]Ingrid[/name].

My bad! In my country only [name]Cecilia[/name] is in use, at least I think so :slight_smile: Obviously I didn’t read properly. Good luck! :slight_smile:
