Twin girls!

alihk · July 6, 2020, 7:17pm

Hi there! We are having fraternal twin girls, this are our first babies and neither of us have a set list of names we like but we both really like unisex names. So,

How do you feel about matching twin names? Cute or too cheesy?

What are some cool unisex baby names that would go well together?

may.rose · July 6, 2020, 7:22pm

Matching can be cute as long as the names aren’t too similar.
[name_u]Cove[/name_u] & [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] & [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] & [name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_m]Luka[/name_m] & [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] & [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] & [name_u]Camryn[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] & [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] & [name_u]Forest[/name_u]

Hello and congratulations! Here are some unisex names to get you started.

Avery
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]

I think matching is fine if they aren’t too cheesy.

Congratulations!

Honestly, I don’t really care for super match-y twin names. I like when sibling names “go” together in a subtle/natural-seeming way, but I still prefer that they sound distinct from each other. I think I’d do the same for twin names as I would for any other sibling names.

[name_u]Marlow[/name_u] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f] and [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] and [name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Briar[/name_u]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]

I love @penelopelynson’s suggestion of [name_u]Adair[/name_u] and [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] as a sibset!

Congrats!!

I think it’s cute in theory but remember reading somewhere that having matchy names can be difficult to live with as a twin - the reason was something along the lines that it can be challenging for twins to develop their own individual identity and having matching names can make them feel like “one of a set” rather than their own individual person. So that might be something to research/consider before you go for it!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] a lot of the suggestions you’ve gotten already and think [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] & [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] & [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] would go together nicely from @hanna_walker96 ‘s list.

Other than the ones that have been already suggested, maybe…
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_u]Noel[/name_u] / [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]

Wren and [name_u]Lark[/name_u]
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u] and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]

[name_u]Merritt[/name_u] and [name_u]Lennon[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] and [name_u]Harlow[/name_u]
[name_f]Marnie[/name_f] and [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_m]Farley[/name_m] and [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]

cjwalsh121 · July 7, 2020, 12:08am

I like [name_m]Randall[/name_m] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. I will probably use these if my husband likes them.
[name_m]Randall[/name_m] means shield wolf. There was a NCAA gymnast named [name_u]Randy[/name_u] Stageburg with the full name [name_m]Randall[/name_m].
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] means brave as a wild boar. I know that boar isn’t necessarily appealing but I like the brave aspect of it.

“Matching twin names” = No. Although, what do you mean by “matching”?

I really like twin names that are distinctly individual, but either sound really great together, or have some sort of tie in that isn’t too strong or intuitive. Unless, of course, they are named for specific people as honor names, in which case that gets my vote from the start.

alihk · July 7, 2020, 1:00am

So many good suggestions!! Thank you all! And @flamingo we were thinking maybe same initials.

Posielee · July 7, 2020, 3:10am

I think matching twin names can work ([name_f]Erica[/name_f] and [name_u]Evan[/name_u] work, but [name_u]Sierra[/name_u] and [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] don’t, these are both real sets of twins btw.).
[name_u]Reece[/name_u]
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_f]Avis[/name_f]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
[name_u]Camden[/name_u]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u]
[name_u]Noa[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellery[/name_u]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_u]Lark[/name_u]/Larkin
[name_u]Jay[/name_u]

Alix2016 · July 7, 2020, 3:22am

I think it all depends how matching you plan for them to be. Rhyming names would likely be over the top. But a subtle match could work.

I’m not really one for “unisex”. However I feel like [name_u]Corey[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_u]Emmerson[/name_u], [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Casey[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] are some of the winners to me. (Sorry I am realizing I’m repeating some)

I think matching twin names are super sweet! I think it’s even better if they have separate names ([name_f]Arminta[/name_f] and [name_u]Madison[/name_u]) but their nicknames are similar ([name_f]Mintie[/name_f] & [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]). [name_m]How[/name_m] do you like:
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] & [name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] & [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (I know it’s not unisex, but [name_f]Ella[/name_f] & [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] are ADORABLE)
[name_u]Shannon[/name_u] & [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] & [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
I’m starting to realize that these aren’t super gender neutral, so I’ll let berries who are really good with unisex names take over Good luck!

Matchy names like [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] are a little tacky in my mind, but I don’t mind twin names that have a theme or start with the same letter.

Suggestions:

Micah and [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] and [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u] and [name_u]Jovi[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] and [name_u]Payton[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
