Ophelia Maya & Isis Aurelia as a twin/sib set?
Opinions or recommendations would be great![I find that girls names are harder to decide on than boys.]

I love Ophelia and Aurelia but not in the same sibset, even though one is a fn and one a mn. It still bothers me that they rhyme. I like Maya but not Isis, at all. The only alternatives that pop into my mind are Iris Octavia and Aurelia May.

I find them really frilly and overdone. It's not that I don't like them, but they strike me more as namer names, rather than realistic choices for someone who has to compromise with a husband.

Both Ophelia and Isis are way too much for me and I don't think they'd work in the real world. As sisters they are definitely too much. Maya Ophelia and Aurelia Isis would be really fantastic, though.

These are really pretty names! I wouldn't expect them to work in the same sibset, but they most defintely do!

I like them, but I feel they could be even better. I think Iris Aurelia flows better and sounds better than Isis Aurelia, or some middle name with an S in it (but not starting with it) to go with Isis, maybe:
Isis Ambrosia
Isis Hortensia
Isis Rosalia
Isis Teresia
Isis Yesenia
Isis NatasiaOphelia and Maya are ncie together and Ophelia fits very nice with Isis. I think it's possible to find a better mn though.Ophelia Mared
Ophelia Neve
Ophelia Maris
Ophelia Maeve
Ophelia Mora
Ophelia Nava
Ophelia Nerys
Ophelia Noor
Ophelia Noelle
Ophelia Nova

I think Maya Ophelia and Isis Aurelia would be better although Ophelia and Aurelia are a bit too similar.
The combo Isis Aurelia has a better flow than Ophelia Maya but as a name I like Ophelia Maya better.Just curious, what names have you decided on for boys?

(Sorry, I put this in the wrong spot.)I think Maya Ophelia flows better than Ophelia Maya, but Isis Aurelia flows just fine. Maya and Aurelia are very pretty, but I don't think I'll ever be able to like Ophelia or Isis. Ophelia makes me think of a schizophrenic girl who drowns herself. (Or at least, I remember that she tries, but I don't remember if she succeeds. I haven't read Hamlet in awhile.) I don't mind God/Goddess names, but Isis seems a bit over-the-top, especially if it's not culturally or religiously appropriate. I much prefer the similar sounding Iris.
