HelpRe: Twins help?
in reply to a message by Tewie
Congratulations. :-)
Your list of potential names is stellar. In the interest of whittling it down I'm forced to be picky. Here goes.
As you say, avoid another flower / botanical name. Also, avoid anything with prominent "L" sounds since you've already got Ella and Lily in the mix. That takes out: Poppy, Holly and Molly. What's left for a girl: Mia, Ava, Niamh and Keeva. Any of these will work beautifully. I'm a sucker for Niamh so she gets my vote. But really, any of these four would be great.
As for a boy, Ben, Alfie and Harry feel too nn-y. That leaves Noah and Kai. I like the long "o" sound of Noah because you don't have any other names with a long "o" sound and it. But I've picked Niamh for a girl and I dislike cutesy themes for twins, like starting their names with the same sound, as if they were candlesticks or something. So Kai it is. Again, the long "i" sound helps to keep kids different sounding in such a large group.
If I ruled the world:
Grace Olivia
Ella Rose
Lily Rae
Niamh Molly (since mns aren't used everyday I don't mind "L" sounds there)
