[Opinions] Please help us name our twins
I'm expecting identical twin girls in January. They have two older brothers, Nathan Carrick Llewellyn and Daniel Rhys Tierney. Both boys have one Irish and one Welsh middle name, which is what we want for our girls.The middle names we have chosen, and will not change are:Bronwyn Sinead
Rhiannon DarcyThese names MUST stay, although we will switch them to Sinead Bronwyn or Darcy Rhiannon if it helps the name flow with the first names,HOWEVER, we are REALLY struggling on naming Twin B.Twin A we are 90% sure we will be naming:Lucy Bronwyn SineadNow, what to name Twin B? we are pretty set on Molly Rhiannon Darcy but there are other names I love just as much.Others we like are:Holly Rhiannon Darcy
Ada Rhiannon Darcy
Heidi Rhiannon DarcyWhat are your opinions please? Only comment on the first names as the middle names will not be changing.

I love Carrick, Rhys Tierney and Rhiannon DarcyI'm not keen on Bronwyn and Sinead as individuals but Lucy Bronwyn Sinead sounds lovely!I prefer Holly over Molly I think :)

Lucy Bronwen Sinead is wonderful. Not sure how you can think that BronwYn is a Welsh girl name ... perhaps a typo?Holly and Molly are very fashionable and could well date her. Heidi Darcy doesn't sound good, even with another name in between. I suppose if it was me I'd consider Ada, though it's also very contemporary, unlike the timeless Lucy. What about Polly or Mildred nn Milly instead of Molly; Helen instead of Holly; Sigrid instead of Heidi; or Suzanne nn Suzie instead of any of them?

Ada and Lucy!!!The cutest twin names ever! They are two of my favorite names. Molly and Lucy reminds me of someones beagle dogs together! Ada is so so so pretty, and Lucy is adorable!

All the names are great, but Lucy and Molly get my vote.

I like Ada bestI've never been able to think of Molly as an adult. It seems like such a childish name/nickname to me. I don't especially like Holly -- it's not bad, but it seems Christmas themed. I like Heidi and Ada, but I just love Ada. Ada Rhiannon Darcy flows really nicely.BTW, Lucy Bronwyn Sinead is a great combo, although I'd also change the spelling to Bronwen.

Oh, I love the name Lucy. Great choice.Lucy and Molly and Lucy and Holly are too rhymey for me. It's a bit cutesy together. Heidi is nice but sticks out from the others a fair bit. Ada is gorgeous, and really sweet with Lucy.Depending on your last name, I think Ada Dary Rhinanon would flow the best, so I vote for Ada Darcy Rhiannon and Lucy Bronwyn Sinead. Lovely names. Good luck deciding.

Ada!Ada by a landslide. Holly, Heidi, and Molly are all so cutesy and babyish, and Heidi and Molly actually are nicknames (for Adelaide and Mary, if either of those appeal to you). They're also very matchy with Lucy, since both have an -ee ending. Ada is lovely, though I would much prefer the spelling Adah. Adah is a full name and Ada is technically a pet name (again, for Adelaide).

I like them all, but have to vote Ada.It's just so sweet. Kind of Victorian, and slightly uncommon so she won't be the 5th girl in her class with the name. Very beautiful.

Aw, such sweet names!I immediately liked Lucy and Molly...although Lucy and Ada are also pretty fab... tough choice! You know, on further thought, I think Ada might age better and still be adorable on a little one. So I vote Lucy and Ada :)Congratulations to you!!

I like Holly and Ada but prefer Adele over Ada or even Ava.Holly Rhiannon Darcy and Adele Bronwyn Sinead or Ava Bronwyn Sinead would be nice.

Molly Rhiannon Darcy is nice. I also like Ada Rhiannon Darcy. Holly and Heidi are okay names, but I think Molly and Ada are nicer.Good luck and congrats!

Although Molly is a pretty name, I think Lucy and Heidi sound so much better together and Heidi Rhiannon Darcy is jus beautiful. Plus IMO Nathan,Daniel, Lucy and Heidi sound so lovely together.I guess i'm not a big fan on Molly because it's a name so many people give to the dog's
I think Holly is a pretty alternative (after Heidi) as it has a similar sound to Molly but in my opinion, if prettier and goes better with your other children's namesGood luck deciding :)

I vote Molly.

The flow of Rhiannon Darcy is a bit clumsy. Granted, I wouldn't switch them when using a first name that ends in the -ee sound. So out of the ones you have... I would choose... Ada Rhiannon Darcy
vote up1
MollyI love it and think it fits the best. Lucy and Molly are adorable!Two things though... one is that it makes me very happy to see Llewellyn. The other is that I'd recommend you change Bronwyn to Bronwen because -wyn is a masculine ending in Welsh and -wen is feminine.

I like Molly best. All are okay though

I really think the spelling should be Bronwen. From my understanding, -en is feminine in Welsh, and -yn is masculine.Plus, the spelling Bronwen is far prettier.

she didn't ask for opinions on Bronwyn.
vote up1
Agree, Bronwen is the feminine.
vote up1
Also agree. If you're honoring someone, fair enough, but if you want a Welsh name, spell it Bronwen. (I'm from Wales.)
vote up1
Agree-yn is masculine and -en feminine. Therefore Bronwen is the prettier and more suitable spelling in my opinion.

Holly Rhiannon Darcy would get my vote. I also love Ada, but don't think it makes such a good twin set with Lucy.Molly always sounds like something you would name a doll, but not a real person. It is cute on a small girl but not very sophisticated on an adult, IMO. I don't have any strong feelings about Heidi but prefer Holly or Ada.Good luck choosing!S xx

I like Ada the best but I prefer Ada Darcy Rhiannon :)

Molly!I love Holly, but Molly sounds much better with Lucy. :)

I like Lucy Sinead Bronwyn (switched because I think the two y's shouldn't be so close) and Molly Rhiannon Darcy best.
I like Heidi least because I think it doesn't go with her siblings' names at all.
