[name]Hi[/name] everyone, [name]Karlyn[/name] again.
Thank you all for your help choosing names for our twins, but hubby and I have suddenly got cold feet about our baby girl’s name.
So I need your help! Obviously her name will need to go with (somewhat) her twin brother’s name, [name]Oliver[/name] [name]James[/name], although not too matchy (O names are out), and it will need to fit with her other siblings names, our precious:
[name]Winston[/name] [name]Charles[/name] [name]King[/name] (5)
[name]Lucia[/name] [name]Isabella[/name] [name]King[/name] (5)
[name]Cassidy[/name] [name]Louise[/name] [name]King[/name] (3)
Thank you so much (in advance) for your help, this is quite urgent as I could have them any day.
I find your name taste to be refreshingly eclectic, so I just put names on the list that “felt” right with the other siblings’ and [name]Oliver[/name]'s names. Let me know if you love any of them, and I will add middle names.
I can’t remember what you chose for your baby girl, so I’m sorry if I listed it below. (Sorry for repeats!)
[name]Oliver[/name] and:
[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name] (although I see that [name]Lucia[/name]'s middle contains “bell”…)
[name]Caroline[/name] (I love alliteration)
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] (then again, it’s pretty eee heavy with [name]King[/name])
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] (has [name]Lucia[/name]'s oo sound, though)
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] (although when I say it out loud, it sounds like a sentence fragment, “…and a king.”
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
I wasn’t sure if you wanted something Italian like [name]Lucia[/name] or unsex like [name]Cassidy[/name], so I chose names that I can see mainly with [name]Oliver[/name], but that I think work with the other names, too.
[name]Edit[/name]: I just went back and saw that you had chosen [name]Juliet[/name]! I think it’s such a beautiful name!
Names I like from each of you, thank you so much! Definitely putting them on the list to show hubby. What are your opinions on how they match with [name]Oliver[/name], and with [name]Cass[/name], [name]Winston[/name] and [name]Lucia[/name]?
[name]Edith[/name] nn [name]Edie[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name] (My maiden name! quite like it as a middle name, not so much as a first)
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
With [name]Winston[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Cassidy[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] (what a beautifully named family!):
[name]Beatrix[/name] “[name]Bea[/name]” - not my style although I know most nameberryites love it
[name]Margaret[/name] “[name]Maggie[/name]” “[name]Meg[/name]” “[name]Maisie[/name]” “[name]Pearl[/name]” - although it fits well with [name]Oliver[/name], I don’t think it’s as spunky or romantic as [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Cassidy[/name]
[name]Mariel[/name] “[name]Mari[/name]” - a little too similar in sound with [name]Oliver[/name] imo - I would find it hard to say [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Mariel[/name] together with with r’s and l’s. Maybe it’s just me though
[name]Mirabel[/name] “[name]Belle[/name]” - love [name]Mirabel[/name] but prefer [name]Mira[/name] or [name]Miri[/name] as nickname. This I can see as a sister to both [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Cassidy[/name], fits great with [name]Oliver[/name] (and [name]Winston[/name] too). Somehow I don’t have a problem with the r’s and l’s in this one, it makes it cohesive with [name]Oliver[/name] I think without being matchy. [name]Mirabel[/name] [name]Ellery[/name]? Although the el-[name]EL[/name] is kind of funny.
[name]Rosalind[/name] “[name]Rosie[/name]” “[name]Rosa[/name]” - love [name]Rosalind[/name] with [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Lucia[/name]; [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Cassidy[/name]/[name]Cass[/name] go well too. Again, the r’s and l’s here are cohesive I think.
[name]Edith[/name] nn [name]Edie[/name] - I’m sorry but I cannot picture naming a beautiful baby girl [name]Edith[/name] - it is just too nursing home/fusty to me.
[name]Ellery[/name] (My maiden name! quite like it as a middle name, not so much as a first) - I like [name]Ellery[/name] a lot, and how funny that it is your maiden name. Agree it is probably better in the middle and [name]Ellery[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] are hard to say - I would probably end up with Ollery a lot, or Elliver.
[name]Florence[/name] - nms
[name]Rosalie[/name] - beautiful. Again, it goes so well with [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Cassidy[/name] are a good pair as well. [name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] - lovely!
[name]Helena[/name] - I like this one with either pronunciation - [name]Helen[/name]-uh or He-lay-na
My favorites (although I did like [name]Juliet[/name] a lot too):
[name]Mirabel[/name] nn [name]Mira[/name]/[name]Miri[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name]
Other suggestions, if needed:
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
Awh thank you! At the moment our current favourites are [name]Mirabel[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name] and hubby loved the suggestion of [name]Cecelia[/name]
Well, several people suggested [name]Rosalind[/name] or [name]Rosalie[/name], and I personally prefer the more distinctive [name]Rosalind[/name]. I think that [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Ellery[/name] [name]James[/name] would be absolutely fantastic, and this name sounds great with [name]Winston[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], and even [name]Cassidy[/name]. I think that [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Rosa[/name] are great nickname options, and [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] are perfect for twins.
I also liked [name]Mirabel[/name], with either [name]Mira[/name] or [name]Belle[/name] as a nickname. This goes very well with [name]Winston[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Cassidy[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name]. [name]Mirabel[/name] [name]Florence[/name] [name]King[/name] would be stunning with [name]Oliver[/name] [name]James[/name]!
Thank you for your suggestions! At the moment hubby is keen on [name]Rosalie[/name] but not [name]Rosalind[/name] and he rather likes [name]Mirabel[/name] but prefers [name]Mirabella[/name]. Your opinion?

I prefer the classic English [name]Mirabel[/name] to [name]Mirabella[/name]. With the current popularity of names ending in -bella, I think it would be a great idea to choose a similar name without this end sound. That is just my opinion…
As for [name]Rosalie[/name], it seems more trendy to me because of the Twilight franchise, but there are plenty of excellent [name]Rose[/name] names. [name]Rosaleen[/name], [name]Rosalia[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name], [name]Rosalyn[/name], [name]Rosamund[/name], [name]Rosanna[/name], and [name]Rosemarie[/name] (or [name]Rosemary[/name]) are all very pretty!
I just wanted to throw out a few more names: [name]Darra[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Sloane[/name], [name]Andrea[/name], [name]Arden[/name], [name]Brier[/name], [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Aurelia[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], and [name]Lydia[/name]…
All the names you are considering are lovely. I personally prefer [name]Rosalind[/name] to [name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Mirabel[/name] to [name]Mirabella[/name] (which seems unecessarily frilly). I also love [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Celia[/name].
Good luck with your twins

I like [name]Mirabella[/name]. It goes with [name]Oliver[/name], and you have 2 great nn to chose from, [name]Mira[/name] or [name]Bella[/name].
Thank you for all your help everyone.
I -think- we have come to a decision (think being the operative word as we also thought we’d come to a decision with [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name]).
We have fallen in love with the name [name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Mirabel[/name] [name]Grace[/name].
We still have a soft spot for [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] though, so I guess we will see when we meet our gorgeous twins in a few weeks.
quite like it as a middle name, not so much as a first)
