Strong unique names to go with sibling name "Pierce"

[bluebonnet22]

We are expecting boy/girl twins and are so stumped on names. My son is named "Pierce". We like non-trendy, non-popular, but easy to understand and pronounce names that aren't overly complicated or "fussy". Any ideas? I do NOT want the names to rhyme or have matching first letters, but I'd love the names to sound good together. Thanks in advance for helping us start our list!

If this helps, 2 of my favorite girl names are Lillian and Evelyn but both have recently been used in our friend group so I'd like to avoid. DH's mother recently passed away and we'd like to use her middle name for our daughter "Jann" so we've been struggling to find first names that flow with Jann as a mn.

Well I wouldn't call Lillian or Evelyn non-popular. They are both extremely popular right now.

Magnolia and Heath
Carys and Jonah
Arden and Ronan
Julia and Sean

Thank you for all the lovely suggestions so far! I agree Evelyn and Lillian are extremely popular right now and another reason I'd like to avoid them (I just happen to like the way they sound). My favorite so far out of all of your great suggestions is Celeste and Adrian.

I love those too! I think they work well with Pierce.

Do you mind sharing your b/g twins names? I love hearing what the naming folks have selected for their own. I've always wanted b/g twins so I'm over the moon to be having them! I'm adding Lyra to my short list!

[bluebonnet22]

And I forgot to mention Harlan is literally my #1 favorite boys name. It was my favorite grandparents (both departed) last name and I'd love to use it! Dh absolutely hates it but I keep praying he will come around.

Sure! Mine are Caeden Alexander (Caeden got pulled directly from a medieval manuscript I was working with, hence the uncommon spelling) and Aurora Marie. Also, Lyra is one of my favorite girl names!

I don't have enough tits to express my love for the fact that you love Harlan!
