I really like Leila "Lay-la". I also love Olivia, but I wouldn't use the two together for twins - too twinsy. Natalie or Nicole would be my second choice for girl twinsFor boys I love Joshua, and Jacob - but not Jake. Since I think both J names would be twinsy, I'd go with Joshua and Oscar for boy twins.

Leila and Lila are both gorgeous. I can't decide which I like more.I like Nicole (some say it's 80's trendy, but I still think it's beautiful), Olivia (classic), Natalie (adorable), and Stella (fresh, but still with an old-timey feel). I'm not so crazy about Amelia.For boys, I like Jacob, Joshua, Henry, and Oscar. Henry and Oscar in particular would make great twins.

Lila (this spelling) and Amelia work beautifully.I also like both Jacob and Henry, and Henry and Oscar.

I don't think you should use Oscar, Justin, Nicole, Natalie, or Leila. They are too popular, and while that may not be the case for Oscar, it's up-and-coming.
I think you should use something that will never go into obscurity, like Amelia, Joshua, or Henry.
I do like the combo Joshua Henry. It's classic and it flows.
May I suggest John?

Henry and Oscar, most definitely!I love those two together. For girl/girl, I like Olivia and Stella, and for boy/girl, I like Oscar / Amelia, Oscar / Stella, Henry / Amelia, Henry / Olivia.Natalie, Jacob, Justin and Nicole are too popular for my tastes, and lack spark.

I think Henry and Oscar make the perfect set!I also love Amelia, Olivia and Stella. I would love to see Olivia and Stella for girls.For girl/boy, my favourite is Herny and Olivia, though I think Oscar and Stella would be very close.I pronounce Leila and Lila differently. I prefer Lila. Great names. :)

I love Leila spelled Leilah. The h at the end just makes it seem more complete to me for some reason. I pronounce it "Lie-luh". If they're both girls, I'd go with Amelia & Leilah.
Both boys, Jacob & Henry.
One of each, Jacob & Amelia.

I like all your suggestions, but particularly like:
Leila (so beautiful, although nobody seems to agree on pronunciation - my instinct says "Layla")
Stella - it's less used than the others and is still fresh
Jacob
JoshuaI'm rubbish with boys' combos - Simon David is my favourite at the moment. Some of my favourites girls' combos are below.

I pronounce Leila and Lila differently. Leila to me is "Lay-luh" while Lila is "Lee-la". I think Stella and Olivia would make excellent siblings.Of your boy names, I definitely like Henry and Oscar the best, and I think they work perfectly as brothers.If they're boy/girl, I'd go with Stella and Oscar or Stella and Henry.
