Twin girls- update including clicky poll

[DVMmomma]

Help. I need twin girl names that go with DD1 (Emilia). We like more 'classic' names but I want all 3 to sound good together, or sound completely different, so it's not like "the twins" and "Emi". For some reason we thought we were having boys so girl names haven't been on the radar but the ones that I'm currently into include:

Kenley
Vivian
Liliana
Charlotte
Isabelle
Josephine

[joy]

Emilia is lovely. Vivian and Liliana are on par; Kenley is nowhere close so just go ahead and throw that one away.

I much prefer Lillian to Liliana, but then I said Vivian and Lillian and started laughing. So... :-)

Have you tried www.nymbler.com? You can put in the names you like and it will spit more out that are similar in style.

Some suggestions: Charlotte, Antonia, Sylvia, Francesca, Serena

[DVMmomma]

No I haven't heard of that site joy. Thanks! I'll check it out now. And yeahhhh, DH hates Kenley too. Not sure what my deal is with -ley or -lee names. I love to hate them I guess.

Burn Kenley. Burn it with fire.

Your others are nice.

I'd suggest Annika, Joanna, Elise, Laurel, Rose, Cecelia, Margaret nn Maggie.

Yes to Vivian and Liliana. No to Kenley.

Suggesting Penelope, Alexandra, Caroline, Beatrix, Violet, Lydia, Valentina, Lyra, Seraphina, Josephine

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I'm not really a fan of Vivian or Liliana, but they are at least better than Kenley. Please throw Kenley far, FAR away.

[DVMmomma]

Ok, ok, tossing Kenley and tossing Liliana (I can't help but say it in a Spanish accent now and we're German so it sounds funny with our last name)

Adding

Lilian
Charlotte
Caroline

Keeping

Vivian (though it'll be be either Lilian or Vivian. Not both, I'm not insane)

Thanks!

[cabbagecabbage]

Be sure to do either/or with Charlotte and Caroline too as they're both feminine forms of Charles. I know sisters named both and it bugs me. Otherwise they're both pretty classics.

Love Vivian!

Lillian is ok but weird with Vivian

Suggesting
Gloria
Carolyn
Jacqueline
Teresa
Corinne
Laurel

I like Vanessa too. Kinda similar to Vivian.

Also like Eloise and Margaret.

If you like the "ly" names, what about Molly, Cecily, Lily, or Holly?

Vivian, Charlotte and Emilia sound like sister names. They are all different enough but in the same name type. Love these names!

Thanks! I really think so too. I'm wishy washy on Vivian vs. Lilian. I think I like both but I don't like that Lilian will become Lily inevitably and we call Emilia Emi. That leaves Charlotte without a -ly nn. Stupid I know. But this is what I ponder in life. We'll see what DH says. He was really hoping for boy twins so I'm going to try to let him chose names as much as men should be allowed to do that sort of thing. SaveSave

Unpopular opinion but you could always call her Charley.

Vivian and Lilliana are both lovely. However, a bit matchy in my head for siblings/twins. I wouldn't saddle a goldfish with Kenley, but I see you've tossed it.

Other suggestions:

Victoria
Diana
Elizabeth
Samantha
Rose
Catherine
Meredith
Rebecca
Julie/Julia/Juliet
Vanessa
Teresa
Sarah

[ottertails]

There's also Viviana or Viveca. As for Charlotte, you can use Lottie for a nn.

Suggestions:
Veronica
Calista
Nina
Cassandra
Isadora
Felicity
Cressida
Rafaela
Helena
Thalia
Cordelia
Lucia/Luciana
Valerie
Rosalie
Cosima

Kenley is dreadful, so I would scratch that off the list right away. Liliana feels a bit fussy to me, and I've just never liked the name Vivian, although there's nothing wrong with it. Suggestions:
Alice
Alexandra
Aurora
Bianca
Beatrix
Belinda
Clara
Cora
Corinna
Frances
Francesca
Flora
Georgiana
Holly
Iona
Iris
Julia
Johanna
Lily
Lenore
Livia
Mira
Miranda
Marie
Matilda
Natalia
Noelle
Petra
Rose
Sabina
Thea
Tabitha
Valerie
Violet
Willa
