That's funny! My best friends mother (she's practically my second mom) thought for years that my middle name was Rose and that Olivia Rose (combined with my last name) was so glamorous. I think it's quite pretty though.

---

Anyway, I like Olivia Rose but I hate Lily Beth. I just hate the name Lily.

While Olivia Rose is popular, it is popular for a reason, since it is a very lovely sounding name.

---

I agree with the other comments about Lily and Beth being too much alike since both names are nick names for Elizabeth. It is like naming your kid Elizabeth Elizabeth!

---

What about naming your child Elizabeth instead with a different middle name. You could call her Lily as a nick name.

---

What about Elizabeth Violet - it seems like it could be your style - although I'm hesitant to presume what names fit other's styles.

---

While I don't like themey first names, like naming twins Rose and Violet, I think themey middle names are ok.

---

Olivia Rose and Elizabeth Violet are very pretty IMO.

---

Of course then you could have nick names that are a little too similar - Liv and Lily. Normally I don’t like twins to have similar names, but in this case, since they’re only nick names, I actually kind of like the idea. Because you have the flexibility to be themey, but you are not tied to the theme if it seems silly after a while.

---

And because of Elizabeth’s versatility you could always use another nick name for Elizabeth. I like, Elise, Elsie, and Bess.

---

You could have:
Liv and Elise
Liv and Elsie
Liv and Bess - my personal favorite

---

Or you could use any of the other countless nick names for Elizabeth, like Beth.

Yes, a very pretty sib set or twin set imo.

---

:)

I think they go well together as sisters or twins.

---

Olivia Rose is simply gorgeous...love the combo!

---

Lily Beth seems very nicknamey to me, since both can be used as NNs for Elisabeth. Lily is sweet, although I generally prefer it as a NN for Lillian or Lilia (and right now, I'm liking the spelling Lilly moreso than Lily). Beth just doesn't cut it for me on its own - I don't mind it as a NN, but it seems to plain by itself.

I think they work perfectly together. They both have the same feel, and I'm glad that the flower names aren't both first names or both middle names.

---

Olivia Rose is way too common for me. It's still very pretty though, and very feminine.

---

Lily Beth is sweet, but I prefer Lilibeth. Lily is pretty but way, way too common for me. Beth is darling, ages well, and refreshing to see.

Beth has never been a favorite of mine, but I can say I like those very much! Olivia is a beautiful name. I think Olivia Rose and Lily Elisabeth would work nicely as well.

Decent. But Lily Beth is really nicknamey compared to Olivia Rose.

Yeah. I don't think twins should be named alike, and the two names are different enough.

---

However, Lily Beth seems sort of silly to me-- Lily and Beth can be nicknames for Elizabeth, so it strikes me as a pet name.

Yes they're both beautiful names.

Yes for both. I don't think it should matter if they're for twin sisters or not twin sisters. I don't like the idea of naming twins as a set. They'll be compared to each other enough in their life, especially if they're identical, and matchy names aren't going to help.

Olivia Rose seems like a very typical popular name right now. I believe Olivia is common, and Rose is a big filler middle name currently, as is Grace. Lily Beth is a cute name though.
