HelpTwins on the way! Name ideas..
Hello all! I'm new to the message board, but was looking for feedback on the names I have in mind for my twins.
My four year-old daughter is Arden Grace, and I made the mistake of telling family and friends what I wanted to name her, in advance. I got plenty of comments from family and friends, telling me the name was horrible and not to name her that.. and you can imagine. Needless to say, my husband and I still named her what we wanted.
This time, however, I wanted to try out some names before releasing them on my well-meaning - but highly opinionated - circle of family and friends. :)
For twin girls, how do you all feel about..
Emerson Maria
Campbell Christine
Nicknames would be Emmy and Bella.
Also, our last name begins with an "M", I really like the idea of the initials being EMM and CCM. I think that would be cute.
Opinions, please?

Campbell would be teased for the rest of her life.
Having an unusual name, Haven, I can honestly say that as cool as it seems, its NOT a good idea. First of all, Campbell is a male name. Period. Second, its a soup. Third, its really, really stupid, to be blunt.
I don't care for Emerson, because again, I think is stupid to use a name that means "Son" for a daughter. I also find it very sexist to use male names for females. You wouldn't give your son a feminine name, would you?
Don't do Campbell. As much as I don't like Emerson, its been used. Campbell is just...insane.

I love the nns Emmy and Bella, but I would use Emily and Isabella, for ex. or something similar. Emerson and Campbell are way too masculine for my taste - Campbell especially doesn't lend itself to a nn as purely feminine as Bella. These fns do go well with Arden, though.
I love Maria, Christine and Grace.
I love Maria, Christine and Grace.

I like Arden Grace and Campbell Christine. I do not think Emerson is so nice for a girl though, I guess because of the son on the end. I think Emerie Marie or Emery Maria would be nice though. Or maybe:
Emmerlyn Maria
Emlyn Maria
Emmalyn Maria
Esme Maria
Elmire Maria
Emmeraud Maria (eh-meh-ROAD)
Emerald Maria
Emmersyn Maria
Emmanuelle Maria
Emmette Maria
Emilian Maria
Damienne Maria
Amiel (ah-mee-EHL) Marie
Demetri Maria
Ramielle Maria
Symeon Maria
Eamon (AY-mun) Maria
Emmerlyn Maria
Emlyn Maria
Emmalyn Maria
Esme Maria
Elmire Maria
Emmeraud Maria (eh-meh-ROAD)
Emerald Maria
Emmersyn Maria
Emmanuelle Maria
Emmette Maria
Emilian Maria
Damienne Maria
Amiel (ah-mee-EHL) Marie
Demetri Maria
Ramielle Maria
Symeon Maria
Eamon (AY-mun) Maria

My opinions:
Emerson: means son of Emery - a daughter is not a son.
Other ideas that can also have nn Emmy: Emery, Emilia, Emilie, Emelina, Emeline, Emely, Emer, Emerald, Emelia, Emily, Emmeline, Emmaline, and Emma.
Campbell: is a boys name to me. and the meaning isn't the nicest. Who wants a meaning of 'crooked mouth'?
Other ideas: Cameron, Camryn, Camilla, Camila, Camille, Cambria, Camillia.
Other ideas with nn Bella: Amabel, Annabel, Christabel, Christobel, Claribel, Isabel (and variants), Jezebel, Maribel, Rosabel, Belinda, Bellona, Bellatrix.
Maria and Christine are not my style but they are nice.
:o)

First of all, congrats.
Arden Grace is very pretty.
As for the twin names...I am sorry, but I think Emerson and Campbell are very boyish. I would automatically think they were boys if I saw the names in print (without the middle names).
Maria and Christine are fine.
How about
Emmeline Maria
Emily Maria
Camryn Christine
Isabelle Christine

Thank you so much! :)
Yes, we were also thinking about Emmaline (or Emilia, with a different mn) and Isabella as other options, but were leaning more towards the boy-ish names, which we generally like the sound of better. Also, they seem to go along with Arden.
Granted, I guess I just have a strange preference for boys' names for girls. :)
