Naming twins

[SassyPants150]

I say no on the rhyming or matchy matchy. They will still be their own person even though they are twins. Do you have girl names that you just like? If we were having two girls, their names would have been Caroline and Delaney. I wanted to stay away from similar endings and beginnings too.

[scattered]

No on the rhyming twins. I went to school with Chelsea and Kelsey and it was super hard to keep it straight and they hated it.

No matchy sibling names, please. I knew a Sam and Stephanie set of identical girls and it was awful. Plus they were awful so that probably doesn't help my opinion.

I don't have many name suggestions for you but I found Nameberry really helpful. It just takes one name you sort of like and it will show you similar names. Click on a "similar name" you like to find even more names. Also the "if you like _____ you'll love ______" lists are fantastic!

Some M and J names I like are
Mae
Mary
Madeline
Jane
Julianna
Justine


I also really like Charlotte and Elizabeth and they seem to go with your son's names.

Carleigh and Paisleigh are out?!?!

[mosdub]

As a teacher with twins, it's way easier for me to keep their names straight when they don't rhyme.

[brittneysandra]

My brother and sister are twins, Samantha & Corey.. two names my mom liked and just put them together!
My cousins are twins, Katelyn and Kayleigh....I still don't know who is who ever, and don't really like the name combo at all!..
However one of my best friends her twin boys names are Hudson & Hugo.. which is like a lot, i know they both start with an H but they flow nice, i think

Godbless you for having to pick 2 names, We could barely decide and we are only having one!

[mosdub]

Ummm, awkward but I just realized I don't go here. I must have clicked on the wrong birth month, sorry!.... *lurker out*

I don't think Olivia and Sophia are too similar because they have a different number of syllables.

ETA: Penelope and Olivia go well together I think

[allisong87]

I agree no matchy names!

[Starbuck128]

I agree, I don't think Olivia and Sophia are too similar. Matchy names to me would be like DS's old friends, b/g twins named Taylor and Tyler. I still get those names jumbled up in my head.

[smilz4782]

I have two sets of family twins Amanda and Sarah; Aubrey (after her grandfather) and Elyse.
I agree with non matchy/rhyming.

[smilz4782]

I like:
Claire
Elizabeth
Madeline
Miranda
Catherine
I had more but my brain... Whoosh.

Olivia and Sophia to me are currently over used it seems ;/

[mrsf0831]

I don't mind the same letter starting names dh hates the idea. So he's picking a name and im picking one then we both have to agree on it. I know I'm not much help but gl. Dh is having trouble picking out his name

[CTri17]

I don't think matching/rhyming is the way to go. but I think you can find some that go really well together.

I love names so give me some ideas and I'll look for more!

[CTri17]

Penelope & Margaret
Brielle & Elise
Eliana & Lorelei
Lorelei & Penelope
Aubrey & Allison (even though they both start with A)
Betsy & Haley

[rivers714]

Gabrielle and Sabrielle for the win

[rivers714]

I really feel the Le makes it just more feminine

[rivers714]

Tara and Morgan, Jessica and Amy , Annie and Abbey.... Are my three sets of adult twins I know

[amelandre]

I know a Jill and Jane, and a Leah and Launa. I'm not a huge fan of same letter names, but whatevs.

The twins I looked after when I was an Au Pair were Emma and Clara (Clah-ra, not the long A sound) and I like that because they go together without rhyming or being cheesy. Which reminds me a lot of Olivia and Sophia. I like it.

[radtechgirl]

I agree no matching/ rhyming names. I went to school with a Crystal and Coral and to this day I cant tell who is who.

My aunt and uncle had twins and on the ultrasounds they were baby A and baby B. 1st one out became Abigail Grace, and the other became Brooke Esther. The middle names came from the grandmothers.

[jko454]

I'm a twin and both my sister and I have names that end in "er". So while they don't actually rhyme (different number of syllables) they still go well together. We have never had comments that we have "twin names". So I think Sophia and Olivia work well together! Good luck!

For what it's worth, my parents didn't know they were having twins until 4 days before we were born. They had my name picked out, but the nurses wouldn't put anything on paper until my sister had a name. So we were Baby A and Baby B for a couple of days.

[lupineaura]

I agree with everyone else- no rhyming names. I also had to spend a lot of time talking DH out of alliterative names, but thankfully he is on board now.

[meeggaannww]

I agree on the no matchy, my mom is an identical twins, they are Terry Sue and Sherry Lou! I also grew up with a Megan and Morgan, poor girls.

[breezyweezer]

Ugh I am in the same boat. Actually just posted on the name board but still don't know.

I personally don't like rhyming names but I do like them to be slightly matchy. I want names that go well together.
