If you had twin girls right now.
If you had twin girls right now and each of their names had to incorporate your two grandmother's names in there somehow, what would there names be?I would simply give my daughters both of my grandmothers full names. Betty Jean and Brenda Ann. I love that they both start with the letter B and both are rather refreshing combos on baby girls born today.

I would prob just use Judith and Kathleen as middle names. Kathleen was almost my middle name, but my mom picked something else since it had already been used for two of my cousins. i also have a cousin with the middle name Judith. how about.... Margot Judith and Lila Kathleen.

My grandmothers are named
Avis Louise and Brenda Gale. They go by Louise and Brenda.If I had to use their names exactly, I'd use the names they don't use:
Avis and Gale.
Eugenia Avis & Viviana Gale If I don't have to use the exact names, I'd use Avaline "Ava" and Galena "Galya".
Or as middle names.
Natalia Avaline & Daciana Galena

My grandmothers are Wynona Rose and Gail Patricia.So my twins would probably be Abigail Winona (which actually used to be a Top 10 of mine) and... Rose Patrice? I really don't like any of the Pat- names.

My two grandmothers were Ida Lillian and Alberta Virginia. Since I don't care for either fn, I'd go with the mns (or a variation): Elizabeth Eve (unsure of what I'd call her) and Virginia Mae (Ginny). Actually, I prefer the mns to the fns. ;-)

Easy! Claudia Rosemary & Juniper Margaret. Claudia and Juniper are both in my top 30, Rosemary was my maternal grandma's name, and Margaret was my paternal grandma's name. Rosemary and Margaret can easily become middle names. lol

Mine are Vera Harriet and Wenche Unni. While I adore the combo Vera Harriet, I'm not a big fan of neither Wenche or Unni (although I love my grandmother). I think I'd end up with something like Vera Ingerlin and Freya Unni.

Hmm... My grandmothers were Margaret Irene and Mary Elizabeth Mildred (she went by Millie). I've already thought a lot about how I will honour them. Using my current favourites:Genevieve Margaret Irene & Eloise Mildred Florence (Florence was Millie's mom).Using their names or variations as first names:Marguerite Catherine Irene & Mildred Florence Jeanne.Maggie & Millie.

My grandmothers were: Esther May (I got her initials and her middle name) and Betty (no idea about her middle name or if Betty was short for anything... I wouldn't use her name IRL because she didn't even like my dad lol) Maya Ishtar & Saoirse ElisabetMaya Astarte & Saoirse BethanMaya Ishtar & Saoirse IsabelMaya Astarte & Saoirse Isobel

Both of my grandmothers have two middle names, so I'll just pick the names that I like best, namely: Aldegonda (maternal grandmother) and Philomena (paternal grandmother). These are a bit too cumbersome to be used as first names, so I'm putting them in the middle name spot and using different family names as first names:Lucia Odilia Aldegonda (eldest twin) and Florentina Isabella Philomena (youngest twin; nicknamed Flora)

So, Anne Marie & Berta Helene
Would go for Annick Mariel & Elena Berit "Annie & Leni"

I only have one granny, Evelyn. So I would choose her grandmothers nane, Alice, for the other child. Maybe Rosa Alice and Luzie Evelyn.

My grandmother’s names are Isabella and Mary Ann (one name)I like both my grandmother’s names but there’s a big thing about nicknames in my family and an Isabella would be called Izzy and I don’t like that.I’d go for Elizabeth Ann and Erika Mae

The name of my maternal grandmother was Anna Laurine (passed away in 1982 when I was 5) and my the name of my paternal is Lydia Ragnhild (she's still alive and turned a 100 years old in February). I do have a surrogate stand-in for my maternal grandmother (and a ditto stand-in grandfather since my real died when I was 3), someone who was like the surrogate parents to my mother and aunt for most of their childhoods (they became the best friends of my real grandparents when moving into the same apartment building). Her name's Ebba Bente Vibeke.So, I have like 7 names to work with here. Hmm...I think I'll use the original combos of my real grandmothers and work one name from my surrogate into it for my preferred three name combos. So...Anna Laurine Vibeke & Ebba Lydia Ragnhild.Yes, that'll be it.

Bianca (actual name, not sure she even had a middle name) and Margherita (other grandma ‘s middle name). Her first name was Rosy, but she hated it, and I while I don’t care for Margherita it’s better than Rosy. Plus daisies are white so it all ties together.

Hmm. This is tough. Both of my grandmas have very dated names (which I like). I’d probably use them as middles, or just use their exact FN/MN combos. Btw both of my grandmothers are still living, so I’m a bit hesitant to post their names here just for privacy purposes.

Avielle Ruth & Sylviane Esther.Mns are my grandma’s names.

My grandmothers were Ivy Jane and Doris Rose. I would pick Rose "Rosie" Evangeline
Ivy Valentina I would've used Doris but I like how the nature theme ties the two names together.

Guinevere Joan and Titania Grace. Middle names are both tribute names. I'd call them Gwen and Taney for short.

Edith Carol and Evelyn JohannaCarol and Evelyn being the honoring names here, but I happen to think Evelyn sounds great paired with my favorite girl's name

I would use their first names as middle names. Ruby Dariel and Naomi Ruth.

My grandmothers' names were Elna Astrid (called Astrid) and Kristina (no middle name). I LOVE Elna Astrid and would with out a doubt use it as a combo but I would have my daughter go by Elna.
I'm not a fan of Kristina but I guess it wouldn't be a horrible middle name. Maybe Eira Kristina. Actually, Elna Kristina and Eira Astrid are better. I'm actually pretty happy with those combos!

I'd give one twin my maternal grandmother's 2 names, Rebecca Ellen.
The other, I only know her first name, Hannah, so, Hannah Dolina. She had a daughter who died at age 7, named Dolina, always called Dolly. (she was one of my father's sisters, of course.)

AGAIN with that refreshing ...I only had one grandmother so I'd use her middle name, which was Ann. (Not 100 percent sure of the spelling but I think that's right.) So I'd use it for a middle name. Stephanie Ann.
Since I have only the one grandmother, I'll pick a great-grandmother's name. There is an Amanda farther back in my family, so Stephanie Ann and Amanda Leigh.

Oh lord, my grandmothers do not have great names, Blossom Vera and Mildred Ruth. I guess Susannah Ruth and Eliza Blossom. I hate Blossom but I hate Vera more and Mildred more still. I wish Mildred wasn't so awful because she was such a wonderful person and I was so close to her.

luckily ...My grandmother had a decent middle name, though not very interesting. Ann.
Her first name was Patsy. Not short for Patricia, which is a shame since I actually do like Patricia.

That's a really hard one. My grandmothers are Patricia Ann and Patty Jean. I'm also Patricia Ann, "Pia".I'd skip using a Pat- name at all as I'd feel guilty giving it to one girl and not the other.My favorite names for twin girls at the moment are Mary and Susan because of the Blue-Eyed Mary and Brown-Eyed Susan flowers. If I went this route I'd have Mary Jean and Susan Anne, "Mamie and Sukie" or "May and Sadie".
