Twins due soon and Completely at a LOSS!

General Name Discussion
1

Hey! My husband and I are expecting twins, a boy and a girl, due in the middle of [name]January[/name] and STILL haven’t settled on any names!!

We have three amazing adopted babies, Serephina [name]Scarlett[/name] Zucchero ([name]Sera[/name]) who just turned 5 and another set of twin boys [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Lucas[/name] ([name]Xander[/name]) and [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]James[/name] (SJ) Zucchero (3). I’m sure you can tell but my husband really likes [name]LONG[/name] names, which is fine by me but I do like nick names.

Currently for girls he likes
[name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Lorelai[/name]
[name]Nicolette[/name]
Alisabeth

I kind of like [name]Celia[/name], [name]Daisy[/name], or [name]Julia[/name].

For boys he is pretty set on [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name] but I like almost surfer boy names like [name]Collin[/name], [name]Talan[/name], or [name]Miles[/name]… any help mixing our two styles or new ideas would be great!!

Thanks, [name]Scarlett[/name]!! :slight_smile:

I happen to think that [name]Gabe[/name] could be pretty laid-back surfer boy if that helps [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name] for you! Here are some other boy thoughts:

[name]Dempsey[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name]
[name]Percival[/name]
[name]Reginald[/name] ([name]Love[/name] [name]Reggie[/name]!)
[name]Thaddeus[/name] ([name]Love[/name] [name]Thad[/name]!)
Wolfram

For girls, while I love [name]Lorelei[/name], the rest don’t have terribly obvious nn’s. So, how about:

[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Amaryllis[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Maribelle[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name]
[name]Persephone[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]

I would like [name]Valentina[/name] I think this is a pretty name and softer than [name]Valentine[/name]. I think that [name]Valentina[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] would be really sweet.

You have a lot of S sounds in your sibset, [name]Sera[/name], SJ and Cee Cee or [name]Celia[/name] so maybe these names could be put in the mn spot?

[name]Cecily[/name] [name]Katerina[/name] nn Cee Cee
[name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] nn [name]Celia[/name]

[name]Daisy[/name] [name]Valentina[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] (pls use traditional spelling or it will confuse everyone when she has to spell her name)

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Christiana[/name] [name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Tahlia[/name] [name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Esther[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name] [name]Nicolette[/name] nn [name]Thea[/name]
[name]Luciana[/name] [name]Nicolette[/name] nn [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name] [name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] nn [name]Lulu[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Bellamy[/name] [name]Violet[/name] nn [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Ellen[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Elle[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name] [name]Serena[/name]
[name]Calista[/name] [name]Daisy[/name]

Boys

[name]Miles[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name] [name]Jackson[/name] nn [name]Eli[/name]
[name]Mason[/name] [name]Levi[/name]
[name]Laurence[/name] [name]Earl[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name] [name]Finley[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name] [name]Edward[/name]
[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]Talan[/name] nn [name]Dash[/name]
[name]Taran[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
I don’t like [name]Colin[/name] but [name]Cole[/name] is nice
[name]Cole[/name] [name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Kyle[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Blair[/name] [name]Lewis[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helps a little.

You seem to like S names, so for girls I’d recommend:

[name]Persephone[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Paloma[/name]- [name]Celia[/name]
Sidonnie [name]Violet[/name]- [name]Sid[/name]
[name]Roxanna[/name] [name]Azure[/name]- [name]Roxie[/name]

What about [name]Wyatt[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]?

Other boy names to consider:
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Spencer[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Grayson[/name]
[name]Jameson[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Westin[/name]
[name]Preston[/name]
[name]Kellan[/name]

Other girl names to consider:
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Ainsley[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name] (maybe he would like this better than [name]Julia[/name] b/c it’s longer!)
[name]Lilliana[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Tatiana[/name]
[name]Estella[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name] or [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]

Currently for girls he likes
[name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Lorelai[/name]
[name]Nicolette[/name]
Alisabeth

I kind of like [name]Celia[/name], [name]Daisy[/name], or [name]Julia[/name].

For boys he is pretty set on [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name] but I like almost surfer boy names like [name]Collin[/name], [name]Talan[/name], or [name]Miles[/name]… any help mixing our two styles or new ideas would be great!!

[name]Valentine[/name] - I think [name]Valentina[/name] would work better and then you could call her [name]Tina[/name] for short.
[name]Lorelai[/name] - eh
[name]Nicolette[/name] - meh
Alisabeth - change it to [name]Elisabeth[/name] and you have yourself a classic with a lot of awesome nicknames.

For boys he is pretty set on [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name] but I like almost surfer boy names like [name]Collin[/name], [name]Talan[/name], or [name]Miles[/name]… any help mixing our two styles or new ideas would be great!!

I think by this point you have 2 boys and a girl with long multi-syllable names and most of the girls names you list are the same. I would really hesitate to have Serephina [name]Scarlett[/name] ([name]Sera[/name]), [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Lucas[/name] ([name]Xander[/name]), and [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]James[/name] (SJ), and…[name]Collin[/name]. KWIM? [name]How[/name] about [name]Nathaniel[/name] and you could call him [name]Nate[/name] for that same laid back feeling but he’d have a more solid name to put on his law school application.

[name]Alexander[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Nathaniel[/name] ([name]Nat[/name]/[name]Nate[/name]/[name]Nathan[/name])
[name]Alexander[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Nicolas[/name] ([name]Colin[/name] is a nickname for [name]Nicolas[/name] or the more standard [name]Nick[/name])

For girls, [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Valentina[/name], [name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name], [name]Isadora[/name], or [name]Araminta[/name] would I think all be charming additions.

Here are some others:
Carrington
[name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name] (or [name]Rosalie[/name], Rosabel)

[name]Willa[/name] and [name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Gilbert[/name] and [name]Ginny[/name] ([name]Gil[/name] sounds surfer)
[name]Tucker[/name] and [name]Tessa[/name]

Wonderful sibset choices thus far!

Serephina [name]Scarlett[/name] Zucchero ([name]Sera[/name])
[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Lucas[/name] ([name]Xander[/name]) and
[name]Sebastian[/name] [name]James[/name] (SJ) Zucchero

Of your current likes, I think [name]Nicolette[/name] fits the best with the others, or maybe [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Nicolette[/name].

[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Wyatt[/name] is a nice name, but I don’t think [name]Wyatt[/name] it is in keeping with the names of your other children, but I adore [name]Gabriel[/name].

I second some of [name]Lemon[/name]'s suggestions of [name]Ignatius[/name]. I think it is stunning with [name]Gabriel[/name] in either fn mn order.

[name]Estelle[/name] and [name]Valera[/name] are nice with the sibset also.
