HELP!! We are having twin girls and are sooooo stuck on names. I think we are pretty solid on [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] for one of the girls, but we can’t figure out a perfect name to pair it with. We really love [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] & [name_f]Ava[/name_f], but don’t like the idea of doing one more unique and one super common. I’d like them both to be on the less popular side. We also really like [name_f]Mari[/name_f], but not sure [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Mari[/name_f] flow well together. I want them to be complimentary without being too matchy, or too much of a mouthful. I feel like a two syllable name flows better, though we’re not totally opposed to both having 3 syllables. I’d love any suggestions!

That has to be hardest part of naming twins is finding a set of names you love equally at one time!
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and…going off of [name_f]Ava[/name_f] or [name_f]Mari[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] * This sounds dreamy with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] nn [name_u]Esme[/name_u] or [name_f]Mari[/name_f]

Is [name_f]Mari[/name_f] pronounced Mah-ry? If so I love it, it’s on my list spelled [name_f]Mairi[/name_f]. I think it goes beautifully with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] but I love that they contain totally different sounds yet are complementary.
Other ideas -

how would you feel about elowen and avalon ? you could use ava as a nickname (maybe ella and ava if you like!) but it’s a bit more stylistically consistent, and they feel so well matched and sparkly to me <3

I really like [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Mari[/name_f] together! I agree that one uncommon and one super common name feels unbalanced, but maybe a more unusual name with [name_f]Ava[/name_f] as a nickname could work? [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f], [name_f]Aviva[/name_f], [name_f]Aveline[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f], etc.

Seconding the suggestion of [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Aviana[/name_f]. That was the first one that came to mind for me because it’s less common but you could use the nickname [name_f]Ava[/name_f] if you wanted.

Since you like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Mari[/name_f], I’d suggest [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_f]Maren[/name_f] (MARE-en) as alternatives to complement sister [name_f]Elowen[/name_f].
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] & [name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] & [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
You could even opt for [name_u]Marin[/name_u] (mah-RIN) to get the nn [name_f]Mari[/name_f]!

I kind of like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] with Elowen… something I never would have considered! I’m curious, is it 3 syllables or 4… not sure if it is pronounced oh-FEEL-ya or is it oh-FEE-lee-ah? I really like it, either way
