Twin girls..looking for opinions/ideas

[breezyweezer]

I've posted on thedump before but still am no closer to picking two names and need help.

Currently my frontrunner is the name Harmony, but I am just not sure about it. I would really like names that "go together" but aren't too matchy matchy so if anyone has suggestions for names that go with Harmony (if you don't hate the name) I would appreciate it.

Two other names I have considered are Carina and Nova. I like those names separately though.

I really like names that are not too popular and that have a nice meaning. I have wanted to name my daughter Aurora since I was a teenager but now that it is becoming really popular/trendy I have decided not to use it.

Middle name suggestions are nice too if that is not asking too much We have been considering using Lynn (family name from my side) and Leigh (family name from fiance's side) but everyone says those names are generic and boring so I am open to other ones.

Well, I immediately thought Melody, but that might be too matchy matchy.

Harmony and Amity
Harmony and Chealsea

[chubs]

I thought of Melody too.

Have you seen this list? nameberry.com/list/256/Musical-Baby-Names?all=1

Harmony and Cecily? I considered Cecily Aurora for a little while, but it was just too much of a mouthful for me. Still love Cecily though. And it's connected to St. Cecilie, patron saint of music according to Google.

Ok no to Harmony. That's just a strange mix of hippie and stripper. Also, Harmony still not age well.

I would keep Carina, and look for a name to go with that. I do think that Carina and Aurora sound lovely together, and wouldn't say that Aurora is trendy or popular. It's ranked #145, and hasn't had any spikes in popularity. It's climb has been fairly slow.

Anastasia

Freya
Fiona

I'm sorry but I have to agree that Harmony is not so good… I also don't like Nova.

I'm not really sure how to give suggestions based on those two, but i'll try…

Delilah
Felicity
Gwendolyn
Juliet
Lydia
Natalie
Rosalie

I love Harmony. I actually like that it is hippie-esque. My main problem is finding another name that goes with it but isn't too matchy. I think Melody is a too similar for my taste.

Carina and Lyra were my top two for a while. I am starting to consider them again. Also adding Fiona from dreadpiratebuttercup's list.

I had not seen that list chubs. Has some nice names; I'm not really wanting to do a musical theme though, but thanks for the suggestions.

I also really love Anastasia but my fiance shot that one down as too stripperish.

Damn; I don't think Anastasia is 'stripper-ish' at all. 

[wamom]

I am not on board with Harmony or Nova.

I think if you like Harmony I would look more for names that have harmony as a meaning so you still get significance.

I didn't really either. Several names I have liked people have said sounded like stripper names. My stepdad even thought Aurora sounded like a stripper name _-_

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Harmony is WAY more stripper than Anastasia.

The hippie feeling of Harmony isn't the worst part of the name. It's like 20% of it. The rest the stripper vibe, and the cutesy vibe. I could never take someone named Harmony seriously, unless I knew them well. For instance if I had to choose to interview Harmony or Carina for an interview, Carina would be the one coming in. And Supreme Court Justice Harmony would in all likelihood never happen.

[fisherlake]

Harmony is nms. We know a family who named their daughters Hope, Faith, Harmony and Joy. If you do go with Harmony maybe stay away from similar types of names like those for your other dd. I prefer Aurora and like Luna over Nova.

[mags]

I love harmony!! although i prefer melody...i dont think it is stripperish at all definitely more hippish. anastasia is not stripperish either imo

i also love carina, nova not so much.

[zebrapanther1311]

Aurora and Fiona would be so sweet!

I don't think Aurora is too popular at all.

Elspeth Harmony is a character in a book series that I love . In her case, Harmony is a surname, but if you love Harmony, you could use it in the middle spot. I think the combination Elspeth Harmony flows nicely, and Elspeth works with both Carina and Aurora.

[Deleted]

I agree with the pp about Harmony sounding stripperish. And just think of a grown woman saying "Hi, my name is Harmony." Yeah that would throw her resume at the end of the pile. Carina is nice and Aurora! Not to trendy at all.

[midnightsun]

Harmony is not my style but I think you could still use Aurora. I like Carina and Aurora as someone suggested.

[billyhorrible]

Carina and Lyra are fantastic and 900 million times better than Harmony.

[Bubbles]

I know a sibset Harmony and Lyric. The parents are musicians.

[packerfan4life]

Strongly dislike Harmony (I think there was a floozy character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer with that name). Odd that your FI thinks Anastasia (which is a lovely name and brings to my mind the Disney movie) is a stripper name and Harmony is not.

Fiona and Aurora would be great. I don't think Aurora is too popular at all.

Suggestions:
Isla
Lucia
Meredith
Magnolia
Clementine
Juniper
Josephine
Aria

[normadix]

Lyra and Astrid
Lyra and Juniper
Aurora and Carina

[seahorse85]

I'm not a fan of Harmony or Nova and not really keen on Lyra. I do really like Carina. I love Fiona also. I love some of the other suggestions that pp's have offered. I also really like Leah and Phoebe. I love Carina and Phoebe together but not sure if that's your style.

[kellybenelly83]

Harmony is a huge no for me. Melody is beautiful. I have a close friend by that name and it ages well.
Melody and Carina
Melody and Aurora
Melody and Fiona

All of those sibsets to me are lovely.

[Widget123]

Replace Harmony with Melody. They are so similar but Melody is a million times, better trust me. Or use Lyra.
Bring back Aurora! No, it really isn't too popular.
Carina is okay too, just not my taste.
