Any honest feedback on the names [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] and [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] used for either twin girls or two sisters.
Thank you very much:grin:
I like [name_u]Dallas[/name_u], it’s very on trend with the new place names popping up. [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] is not really my style, but I do think it balances out [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] well because [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] is super girly and sweet while [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] to me sounds unisex and stronger. Together they are super [name_u]Southern[/name_u] sounding, but I’m assuming you went for that on purpose. They also both have strong associations (Dolly [name_m]Parton[/name_m], and [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] the city) but I’m also assuming you chose them for that reason, or at least with that in mind already.

I’m not a huge fan of either name personally. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my style. They seem like similar vibes though so I could see them working well as siblings. They’re too close together for twins in my opinion!

love love love dallas on a girl, but dolly to me seems more ‘vintage’ (?) and doesn’t really work as a fn with dallas. what about dahlia nn dolly? dahlia and dallas are adorable, though one girly one not. same thing with dolly and dallas though so i don’t think you’d find that as an issue right?

Being honest, I don’t love them together.
I find them at the same time too matchy (Doll + Dall is just too close soundwise for siblings for me), but also mismatched in terms of vibe — one a super-sweet, super-girly vintage nickname, the other a modern, androgynous place name.
I do think [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] is quite cool for a girl though! [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] is just too cutesy for me.

I like [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]. It’s sweet and charming. [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] has a cool, fresh feel

I love both! I love [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] because it’s sweet but not overly cutesy, and it reminds me of [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] [name_m]Parton[/name_m] which is far from a bad association. I like [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] too, it feels trendy but it’s not over used and I picture a very kind little kid, however I can’t really see it on a girl. I don’t love them as twin names personally, I just think they are a little to stylistically different, but that’s just me.

I’m not crazy about them as a pair, just sounds a little too similar imo. Especially given the typical long forms for Dolly, Dahlia and Dolores, sound even more like Dallas!
If you’re very set on matching initials, I would shoot for a little diversity in the other strong consonants in the names or get some variation in the length and syllable count.
Some ideas:
Dolly & Devon
Dolly & Diana
Dolly & Drew
Dolly & Deirdre / Deedee
Dolly & Darcy
Dolly & Daphne
Dolly & Dale
Dolly & Dresden
Dolly & Dempsey
Dolly & Darrow
Dallas & Daisy
Dallas & Dita
Dallas & Dawson
Dallas & Delaney
Dallas & Duffy
Dallas & Donna
Dallas & Dorothy
Dallas & Delia
Dallas & Dawn
Dallas & Darby
Alternatively you could go with names that don’t start with D but contain a prominent D sound like:
Dolly & Edith
Dolly & Indigo
Dolly & Faraday
Dolly & Nadine
Dolly & Adele / Adelaide
Dolly & Marigold
Dolly & Eden
Dolly & Willodean
Dolly & Gladys
Dolly & Arden
Dallas & Goldie (or Marigold again lol)
Dallas & Theda
Dallas & Audrey
Dallas & Edna / Edina
Dallas & Holiday / Holliday
Dallas & Magdalene / Magda / Madge / Midge
Dallas & Ingrid
Dallas & Wendy / Wendel / Wendell
Dallas & Madrona
Dallas & Jody

Either, but not both.
Actually, love these! They don’t necessarily got together to me because they’re of such different eras… but I think they actually sound quite cute as a pair!

I don’t love how [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] is so much more feminine sounding than [name_u]Dallas[/name_u]. Otherwise I like them together a lot. Maybe as a girl boy twin set.

I agree with katinka. Very similar sounds and very different styles. Don’t love them, sorry
