Twin girls+sibsets
My mom's friend's daughter had twin girls four days ago and today I found out the names; Julia and Linnea. Personally I really like Linnea but Julia is a bit boring imo. WDYT?Today and yesterday I also heard these sibsetsLoke and Balder (They also had a third son but I didn't hear his name.) Hope and Scott. (Never heard or seen these names on Swedish kids before but I like Scott.)

Julia and Linnea is fine, although they do sound a bit similar to my ears - both with LI and ending in A.Is Loke a form of Loki? I find the pronunciation counter-intuitive, but then I'm not Swedish :p Balder would be a dreadful name in English.Hope and Scott is a great sibset! Non-matchy and I like both names :)

Julia and Linnea make a swoon-worthy twinset. I adore it!Hope and Scott are nice. I prefer Hope as a middle name and Scott is a bit dated and abrupt, but it could be worse. In English, Loke and Balder are awful.

I love both Julia and Linnea... Julia is my name and is getting a bit popular with the younger generation but I love it for my own name, since it's mildly unusual while still being pretty and recognizable. I only know one other Julia my age, and one Linnea my age, and I haven't heard Linnea a lot on wittle kids. But they are similar in style and both good traditional names; all in all, I like the combo.Loke and Balder - I like the idea and the original qualities of the names... But as for sound, I don't really love each name. More Bald?Hope and Scott - These to me are a bit boring, as they are pretty common place in the US. I do like Scott, though it is a bit popular, but Hope just isn't my ticket.
