Two girls with no names - DECISION made - see pg. 2

Girl Names
1

We have two children; [name]Everett[/name] [name]Barnaby[/name] (3) and [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Clancy[/name] (we call her [name]Maggie[/name]) (17 months). [name]Barnaby[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]Clancy[/name] are famiy names.

We need help with our twin girls due in [name]December[/name]. Thus far we like:

[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] - I don’t like the popularity though
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name] - heard this from [name]Jennifer[/name] garner and really like it, but don’t like that it is Hollywood associated

Family names:

[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Mariam[/name]
[name]Stewart[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Jules[/name]

We are open to anything at this point! With a 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old, clearly I don’t even have the time to think. Our first two were relatively easy to name, but this has proven to be very difficult. My husband is pretty easy, but I just can’t come up with anything I like.

I’ve been on here several times over the last month - which is where I came up with [name]Beatrix[/name] - and I don’t need long lists, just opinions of the names I’ve picked and names that you would suggest that fit within our style. I very much appreciate it.

I think that [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] would be adorable names for your twin girls:

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]

Good luck!

Wow! I [name]LOVE[/name] your kids’ names! :slight_smile:

[name]Penelope[/name]: I really love [name]Penelope[/name], and think it’s great with your kids’ names. I love the nicknames [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Nell[/name]. (I love the [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] suggestion!) :slight_smile: It’s not on your list, but I love [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name], too.

[name]Grace[/name]: Like you, I love the name, but am bothered by the popularity.

[name]Audrey[/name]: I love [name]Audrey[/name], but if popularity bothers you, I don’t know how you feel about [name]Audrey[/name] being #44 in popularity now.

[name]Beatrix[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]! If you’re not set on it as a first name, I think [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] would be a great combo, incorporating [name]Elizabeth[/name] from your list.

[name]Anna[/name]: I love [name]Anna[/name], but it’s very popular. (I love [name]Annabelle[/name], too!)

[name]Seraphina[/name]: I think that the other names you’ve listed are better fits with [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name].

Family names:

[name]Catherine[/name]: [name]Love[/name]…
[name]Emmeline[/name]: I really love [name]Emmeline[/name] despite the popularity of [name]Emma[/name] and [name]Emily[/name].
[name]Violet[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!
[name]Mariam[/name]: I think it’s pretty, but I prefer some of the other lovely names you’ve listed.
[name]Stewart[/name]: Very cool…
[name]Elizabeth[/name]: I love [name]Elizabeth[/name] (and [name]Eliza[/name]!)
[name]Jules[/name]: I I really love [name]Julia[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]

Some more names you may like with [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name]:

[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] (nn [name]Cleo[/name])
[name]Cora[/name]/[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Diana[/name] (less popular than [name]Anna[/name])
[name]Frances[/name]

[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]

Best wishes to you!

{My computer is freaking out…restart and i’ll brb! :slight_smile:

Okay, I’m back! Whew! :)}

Suggestions Cont.:
[name]Stella[/name] (sorta feels like [name]Stewart[/name] and [name]Violetta[/name] combined)
[name]Ianthe[/name] (means purple…like violet!)
[name]Elise[/name] (instead of [name]Elizabeth[/name])
[name]Eloise[/name] (ditto)
[name]Eliza[/name] (ditto)
[name]Gray[/name] (great in the middle…super close to [name]Grace[/name] since its becoming overused in the middle)
[name]Graciela[/name]
[name]Carissa[/name] (means “grace”)
[name]Anita[/name] (ditto)
[name]Charis[/name] (ditto)*
[name]Gianna[/name] (ditto)

Other thoughts:
I think [name]Mia[/name] and [name]Miriam[/name] is too close to be sisters, but [name]Miriam[/name] could definitley go in the middle.

I adore [name]Emmeline[/name] :slight_smile:

If I had to pick twin names from your list I’d choose [name]Violet[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Jules[/name]/[name]Juliet[/name]

7

[name]Seraphina[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] sound nicest, in my opinion. And I think they’d go well with your other kids.

8

Wow! Your children’s names are very beautiful! [name]Everett[/name] is a favourite of mine.

Of your choices, I like [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Catherine[/name].

I like another’s suggestion of using [name]Eliza[/name] in subsitute of [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I also agree that while [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name] are very pretty, they are both quite popular.

[name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Poppy[/name]/[name]Nell[/name], [name]Bea[/name]/[name]Bess[/name]

Best of luck to you! Please let us know what you name them.

I love your name choices! My favorites are the clasic and beautiful [name]Grace[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], and [name]Elizabeth[/name]!

Here are some great combinations:

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Grace[/name]

Blessings to you and your family!

[name]Penelope[/name] -not my personal taste, but goes well with [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]Everett[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] -very pretty and very popular, but if you love it, go for it
[name]Audrey[/name] -pretty but I think others are better with [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] -not my personal taste, but a great match
[name]Anna[/name] -see [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name] -I don’t immeadiately think of [name]Jennifer[/name] [name]Garner[/name], it’s gorgeous. Have you considered [name]Seraphine[/name]? It goes a bit better with [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name], actually/

Family names:

[name]Catherine[/name] -I’ve known so many Katies and Katherines that it feels stale
[name]Emmeline[/name] -very pretty, but you would have two E names
[name]Violet[/name] -love it, fantastic match, but it would set you up with “et” endings
[name]Mariam[/name] -okay, not a stand-out to me
[name]Stewart[/name] -don’t like it on a girl
[name]Elizabeth[/name] -good match, but again, you woud have two E names
[name]Jules[/name] -cute but I like it better as a nn for ie: [name]Julia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name]

I really love [name]Violet[/name]. But as I said, it sets you up with three “et” endings, and therefore you may want all four ending that way (a little matching is cute). I love [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] but I know it’s not on your list. So, I’d have to say [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] work.

11

I second [name]Jill[/name]'s post - your children’s names are lovely! [name]Everett[/name] is a favourite of mine, and [name]Maggie[/name] is so underused these days.

[name]Penelope[/name] - fits beautifully with [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name], and so gorgeous. [name]Penny[/name]/[name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Maggie[/name] go well, too.
[name]Grace[/name] - lovely, but if popularity is an issue then steer clear of this one, sadly.
[name]Audrey[/name] - getting very popular, sadly, but very pretty and fits the style of your children’s names.
[name]Beatrix[/name] - also goes well, although personally I think [name]Beatrice[/name] might be better ([name]Beatrix[/name] strikes me as making the sib set too harsh-sounding).
[name]Anna[/name] - a classic, but noticeably shorter than [name]Margaret[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Annabel[/name]?
[name]Seraphina[/name] - I didn’t even think of the Hollywood association (actually, I didn’t know about it), but I think it is a little more flamboyant than [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name], and for that reason I wouldn’t choose it.

[name]Catherine[/name] - I was actually about to suggest this! I think the style fits with your children’s names, and [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]Kitty[/name] would make adorable sisters.
[name]Emmeline[/name] - It seems too similar to your other childrens’ names, although I might be over thinking things (it has the Es of [name]Everett[/name] and the double letter, the M of [name]Margaret[/name] …)
[name]Violet[/name] - I adore.
[name]Mariam[/name] - I adore this and it is so underused! Too close to [name]Margaret[/name] to use as a fn, though.
[name]Stewart[/name] - the closest girl’s name I can think of is [name]Stella[/name].
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - such a classic.
[name]Jules[/name] - I love this as a nn for [name]Julia[/name]/[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliana[/name] etc.

Combinations using the names you have given :
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Julia[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]

[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Mariam[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]

[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Mariam[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Violet[/name]

[name]Violet[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Mariam[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name].

A couple of names you may like :
[name]Evadne[/name] - the nn [name]Evie[/name] is very popular, but the name itself isn’t, so I think that’s okay. You could always opt for [name]Addie[/name], or Nini, I suppose. (Personally, I really like unusual names with more common nns, as the child can use the nn if embarassed by the full name. Not that I think anyone could be embarassed by the beautiful [name]Evadne[/name]!)
[name]Phoebe[/name] - this may be too popular, I’m not sure where it stands at the moment
[name]Ondine[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Amandine[/name]
[name]Verity[/name] - less popular than [name]Grace[/name].
[name]Seren[/name] (sare-en, I think …) - a Welsh name, similar to [name]Seraphina[/name] but less flamboyant
[name]Persephone[/name] - similar to both [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Seraphina[/name].

Good luck!

12

I agree. Especially love [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], and [name]Penelope[/name]!

13

Thank you all for your great suggestions!

I actually agree that [name]Beatrice[/name] rather than [name]Beatrix[/name] might have a better flow with our other children. I’m really leaning towards this name, but am not sure if it fits well with [name]Margaret[/name]? I really like [name]Bea[/name] as a nickname.

I really like [name]Eliza[/name] instead of [name]Elizabeth[/name], but if we pick [name]Beatrice[/name] I’m afraid we’d have to have a comparable name in length. [name]Do[/name] you think that too?

[name]Penelope[/name] is a name my husband really adores. I like it too and like the nickname [name]Nell[/name], maybe [name]Poppy[/name]. Which do you prefer with [name]Maggie[/name]?

[name]Annabel[/name] is great, but I have so many girlfriends that have little Annabels. [name]Anna[/name] is out now.

[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name] are too popular for us I believe. [name]Emmeline[/name] is lovely, but I also don’t like the saturation of [name]Emma[/name], [name]Emme[/name]… etc.

I really like [name]Stewart[/name] from our family names, but that is only because I know her. [name]How[/name] does it sound objectively?

[name]Catherine[/name] is so unoriginal to me, but I really like the suggestion of [name]Kitty[/name].

[name]How[/name] do these sound?

[name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name],

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name])

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]

[name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]) and [name]Eliza[/name]

[name]Catherine[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name]) and [name]Beatrice[/name]

[name]Stewart[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Stewart[/name]

[name]Violet[/name] is really a favourite of mine, but I think I prefer it as a middle name.

I am pretty sure that [name]Beatrice[/name] will be one of the girls’ names. Any others you talented namers can come up with?

Thank you again for your help. It is really helping me. By the way, our last name is [name]Hawk[/name] - it’s kind of harsh for girls so you can see why I like the softer (and longer)names.

14

I think that [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name] go perfectly together. [name]Both[/name] are classic, royal names ([name]Princess[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]Princess[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]).

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] are both three syllables, and I think that they’re great together. (I love [name]Elizabeth[/name], too, and if you use [name]Elizabeth[/name], you’ll have three princesses–well, [name]Elizabeth[/name] is now a queen.) Note: I just saw that your last name is [name]Hawk[/name], and when I say [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] out loud, the th from [name]Elizabeth[/name] attaches to [name]Hawk[/name] and I hear Thawk as your last name. (It may just be me, though!) :slight_smile:

With [name]Margaret[/name]/[name]Maggie[/name], I really love the [name]Poppy[/name] nickname from [name]Penelope[/name], but I love [name]Nell[/name], too. (If you go with [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name], I love [name]Bea[/name] and [name]Poppy[/name], but think [name]Bea[/name] and [name]Nell[/name] is darling, too.) You can always see which nickname fits when she’s born.

With [name]Stewart[/name], I love it on a boy, but not a girl, although I think it could be a nice middle name.

[name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name],

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]): I love this!

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]: I love this, too!

[name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]) and [name]Eliza[/name]: I love this, but love [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] together more than [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name].

[name]Catherine[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name]) and [name]Beatrice[/name]: I think this is lovely, too, and think [name]Kitty[/name] and [name]Bea[/name] are darling together! I love [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], and [name]Margaret[/name], but feel like [name]Everett[/name]'s less traditional style isn’t represented here. With [name]Everett[/name] in the mix, I think you need something like [name]Penelope[/name] or [name]Eliza[/name] in the mix.

[name]Stewart[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]: If you’re talking about two girls here, I’d avoid [name]Stewart[/name], because I’d definitely mistake this set as boy-girl.

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Stewart[/name]: Ditto.

I’m voting for one of your first three combos, but I think the first one is in the lead for me, because I love how [name]Penelope[/name] works with [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name], and I love how each child will have his/her own first initial.

I really love your list! :slight_smile:

Best wishes to you!

15

I’m glad you like [name]Beatrice[/name] - I think it goes brilliantly with [name]Margaret[/name], as both are long and classic, and as [name]Jill[/name] said, both are princesses! [name]Bea[/name] is such an adorable nn as well, but would age well too.

While [name]Eliza[/name] is shorter than [name]Beatrice[/name] written down, they are actually similar said aloud and in the same sort of style, so I think you could use them together if you really dislike [name]Elizabeth[/name].

[name]Penelope[/name] is so pretty! [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Maggie[/name] are lovely together, as are [name]Nell[/name] and [name]Maggie[/name], which both have that vintage feel. I don’t think you can go wrong either way, really.

Oh, [name]Stewart[/name] is for a girl! I’m sorry, I assumed it was for a boy because it is a male name in my family … I do think, though, that it is too masculine compared with [name]Margaret[/name] and the other girls’ names you seem to lean towards. Perhaps use it as a mn, especially as you know her - I’m sure she’d be very flattered.

I see what you mean about [name]Catherine[/name], and while I like [name]Kitty[/name], I don’t think you should use it if you don’t love the full name, too (because she may decide she hates [name]Kitty[/name] and wants to be called [name]Catherine[/name]).

[name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name] and :

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]) - I think this is just too perfect for words!
[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] - also lovely.
[name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]) and [name]Eliza[/name] - again, very pretty.
[name]Catherine[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name]) and [name]Beatrice[/name] - not if you don’t love [name]Catherine[/name].
[name]Stewart[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] - I think [name]Stewart[/name] is too masculine with your other girls’ names.
[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Stewart[/name] - as above.

Some pairings I think work well :
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Stewart[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] (I think [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Stewart[/name] run together, though)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Stewart[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] (my favourite, I think)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Stewart[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] (best for [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name], in my opinion)
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Hawk[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Stewart[/name] [name]Hawk[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Hawk[/name]

I would say [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Eliza[/name], but I feel like they run together …

Other suggestions :
[name]Dorothea[/name] nn [name]Dotty[/name]/[name]Thea[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] can give the nn [name]Nell[/name] too, although I prefer [name]Penelope[/name]

A few royal names, seeing as you seem to like that style :
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Eugenie[/name]/[name]Eugenia[/name] (not if you use [name]Beatrice[/name])
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name].

Good luck!

My vote goes to [name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name] ([name]Bea[/name]), and [name]Penelope[/name], (either [name]Poppy[/name] or [name]Nell[/name]!) I agree with [name]Jill[/name] that both are lovely but you can always see which fits when she’s born.

PS: I love your kids’ names!! Good luck and keep us posted–we can’t wait to hear about the newest wonderful additions to your family. :slight_smile:

  • [name]Love[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] nn [name]Bea[/name] with [name]Margaret[/name]!

I really like [name]Eliza[/name] instead of [name]Elizabeth[/name], but if we pick [name]Beatrice[/name] I’m afraid we’d have to have a comparable name in length. [name]Do[/name] you think that too? - Yes.

[name]Penelope[/name] is a name my husband really adores. I like it too and like the nickname [name]Nell[/name], maybe [name]Poppy[/name]. Which do you prefer with [name]Maggie[/name]? - [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]Nell[/name], [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]Poppy[/name]. Either one is really cute!

[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name] are too popular for us I believe. [name]Emmeline[/name] is lovely, but I also don’t like the saturation of [name]Emma[/name], [name]Emme[/name]… etc. - Yeah, too popular.

I really like [name]Stewart[/name] from our family names, but that is only because I know her. [name]How[/name] does it sound objectively?

[name]Catherine[/name] is so unoriginal to me, but I really like the suggestion of [name]Kitty[/name]. - [name]Love[/name] [name]Kitty[/name]!

[name]How[/name] do these sound?

[name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name],

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]) - Great!

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] - I love [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] more.

[name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Nell[/name]) and [name]Eliza[/name] - [name]Penelope[/name] is vibrant and bouncy, [name]Eliza[/name] is more hushed and lovely.

[name]Catherine[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name]) and [name]Beatrice[/name] - [name]Beatrice[/name] is so lustrous and vintage while [name]Catherine[/name] is more quiet and elegant.

[name]Stewart[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] - no. The names are really different in style. [name]Stewart[/name] seems so unisex.

[name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Stewart[/name] - ditto

[name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] make a great pair, but then you lose [name]Beatrice[/name]. I just love [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name]!

[name]Violet[/name] is really a favourite of mine, but I think I prefer it as a middle name.

I am pretty sure that [name]Beatrice[/name] will be one of the girls’ names. Any others you talented namers can come up with?

I’m pretty sure I made a bunch of these suggestions to you before, but I can’t recall what that list was.

After a very long talk with my husband using index cards and nameberry, we’ve decided on the following for our girls:

[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] - nicknamed [name]Kitty[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name] - nicknamed [name]Bea[/name]

My husband loved [name]Beatrice[/name] and for the other choices he either really wanted [name]Catherine[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name]. We decided on [name]Catherine[/name] because it’s honoring family and he didn’t care for any of the [name]Penelope[/name] nicknames. When I first mentioned [name]Kitty[/name] as a nickname for [name]Catherine[/name] a few days ago, he first said, “What, like a cat? No way!”, but it grew on him as has the name [name]Catherine[/name] for me.

For the middle names, we both loved [name]Violet[/name] and think [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name] is sensational - she wasn’t all that hard to name. [name]Elizabeth[/name] is a family name that he wanted to use, but I couldn’t bring myself to name her two “filler” names, as most people refer to on this site. So, in honor of [name]Elizabeth[/name] we went with the sassy [name]Eliza[/name] instead.

Thank you again for all of your help! We are very satisfied with our [name]Everett[/name], [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Bea[/name] and [name]Kitty[/name] - and frankly I think we’ll have the best named kids on the block. :slight_smile:

Take care!
