Twin names

Name Advice
1

My husband and i are pregnant with twin girls, they will join an older brother and an older sister.

We have a tough time choosing names because we are blending very different cultures that we both want to represent in our childrens names. I am Italian and Spanish and my husband is Turkish and [name_m]French[/name_m]. We are both very close with our families and value thier input and want to make everyone happy. (i know, easier said then done)

Our sons name is [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] Demir ([name_m]Mateo[/name_m] is my great grandfathers name, and Demir is my husbands name) i don’t think we will ever hear the end of it from his family for not giving our son a Turkish first name.

Our Daughter is [name_f]Eloisa[/name_f] [name_u]Peri[/name_u] ([name_f]Eloisa[/name_f] is used in Italian, Spanish and [name_m]French[/name_m], and [name_u]Peri[/name_u] is used in Turkish) We had a very easy time picking this name.

What both of us are wanting:

I am more drawn towards Italian/ Spanish names- along the lines of:
[name_f]Violetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Nicoletta[/name_f]

What he is more drawn to: He likes Turkish names mostly, but some [name_m]French[/name_m] names as well, i am not a big fan of the Turkish names, but like some [name_m]French[/name_m] names. His list so far -
Alara
Cemre
[name_m]Esra[/name_m]
[name_f]Amalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
Meliha

Anyone have any ideas for us?! :confused:

I have a friend who was born in Turkey, and she has younger twin sisters named Asra and [name_m]Esra[/name_m]. If those don’t work for your family, here are some ideas:
[name_f]Eliana/name_f & [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] ([name_m]French[/name_m])
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] & [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] (Turkish)
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] (Turkish) & [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] ([name_m]French[/name_m])

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. Good luck!

I understand how hard it is to name kids in a multi-cultural home. My husband is from [name_f]India[/name_f] and I am American with Czech/Slovenian heritage. Is it possible to find a name that works in both cultures? [name_m]French[/name_m], Italian and Spanish are all romance languages and I would think there would be some cross-over with names. Turkish is indeed a harder one to blend in.

Off your list, I like Alara & [name_f]Violetta[/name_f]
