Twin Names - which sets do you like best?

General Name Discussion
1

I posted earlier in “name talk” about classic names… here are some of the names I like for my twins due in [name]May[/name]:

GIRL NAMES
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Anne[/name]
[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]

BOYS
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Joe[/name]
[name]John[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Joshua[/name]

I don’t know sexes yet, so make combinations of boy/boy, boy/girl, girl/girl if you can… also, if you have other classic/vintage combinations, I would love to get some more ideas!
Thanks!

[name]Natalie[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name]-love
[name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]-love, but I’m thinking [name]Ruby[/name] is getting the short end of the stick.
[name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Andrew[/name]-love
[name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name]-love
[name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name]-love
[name]Leah[/name] and [name]Kate[/name]-don’t love [name]Leah[/name], love [name]Kate[/name] as a nn for [name]Katherine[/name].
[name]Henry[/name] and [name]James[/name]-love
[name]John[/name] and [name]Nathan[/name]-[name]Nathan[/name] bothers me, but it is a good name to most people, I think.
[name]Anne[/name] and [name]Kate[/name]-pretty
[name]Kate[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name]-to me, [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] are different. One is classic, the other vintage. [name]Ruby[/name] will eventually go out of style. [name]Katherine[/name] is timeless. I would put [name]Ruby[/name] with, say, [name]Stella[/name]. I would put [name]Katherine[/name] with [name]Anne[/name].
[name]Leah[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Leah[/name]

From the above names,
[name]Henry[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name]-really love this
[name]Henry[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name]-one of my faves
[name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name]-one of my favorites, [name]Joe[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]John[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]James[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name]-I do love this
[name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name]-one of my favorites, [name]Joe[/name] and [name]Evie[/name]
What guy’s name would go with [name]Juliet[/name] besides [name]Romeo[/name]? Hmmm, it has to be incredible…
[name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Edward[/name], [name]Edward[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]. Is [name]Edward[/name] good enough? [name]Charles[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name], maybe. That’s really hard! I’ll look on the yuppie list…
Looked on the French Boys list:
[name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Rainier[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]

Also, I love the classic boys’ names [name]Philip[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], and [name]Peter[/name], and [name]William[/name]. My son is [name]Peter[/name]. My daughter is [name]Laura[/name]. I’ve been very happy with those names.

15

[name]Susan[/name], obviously I watch too many movies, because my first thoughts on some of your combos were:

[name]Henry[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name] (king and queen of [name]England[/name], The [name]Lion[/name] in [name]Winter[/name])
[name]James[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name] ([name]Dean[/name] and [name]Wood[/name], [name]Rebel[/name] Without a Cause)

16

That would be a fun name game: to think of favorite names of couples in movies. I love [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] in “It Happened One [name]Night[/name]” and I love [name]Maria[/name] and [name]Gaylord[/name] or is it Gaylorg in “The Sound of [name]Music[/name]”. Actually I don’t like the names [name]Maria[/name] and [name]Gaylord[/name], but that couple makes me like them for a few minutes. I love [name]Princess[/name] [name]Anne[/name] in “[name]Roman[/name] [name]Holiday[/name]”, but what is [name]Gregory[/name] Peck’s name in that movie? [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Winona[/name]'s character’s name [name]Leilani[/name] in “Reality Bites”? What is [name]Ethan[/name] [name]Hawk[/name]'s name in that movie. I forget. But I wouldn’t name my daughter [name]Leilani[/name]. I just think it’s pretty. What about [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] from “My Fair Lady”? That would be loverly!
