Caleb Lee is a sweet name! As for girls...

I would go with Alison/Allison Marie, and you can use Ally as a nn or Ally Marie as a double name. Nicknamey given names are really nms, and using a more formal name gives her professional-sounding options in the future. Of course, you could use other names to get Ally as a nn:

- Alexandra, Alexis, Alexa (all of which are very popular, though)
- Alessandra
- Alice
- Alicia
- Alma
- Alannah
- Althea/Alethea
- Alyssa
- Aelwen/ Aelwyn
- Ailis (ay-lish)
- Ailbe (all-bay/ayl-bay)

These could work, but might be a bit of a stretch:

- Arlene
- Ariel/Arielle
- Amelia
- Amelie (with or w/o the accent over the first 'e')
- Annabelle
- Arabella
- Aisling
- Aurelie (again, with or w/o the accent over the first 'e')
- Aurelia
- Azalea

Brooke is nice, too. NMS, but sweet.

Here goes...


From your picks... Ally Marie - seems short. How about: Alina Marie, Alana Marie, Alaina Marie, Alicia Marie, Alexandra Marie, and Allyson Marie can be used as a fn & then nn Ally

I agree with PP that I prefer a more formal name for Ally ...


Allison Marie & Brooke Avery would make a cute set.

I think Brooke is really nice with brother Caleb. Ally is too nicknamey. I quite like Brook and Alaina as twins, and you could call her Ally, but I think Ally on its own just doesn't work. As for Avery, it seems trendy to me and I prefer it for boys.
Does the mn Marie have any significance to you? If it isn't a family name, I might consider something a little less 'filler'.

Shea

Sage

Tatum

Brynn

Brenna

Lola

Stella

Aila

Maren

Carys

Harper

Hadley

Iris

Celeste

Tamsin

Sydney

I quite like Caleb Lee, Brooke Celeste, and Alaina Simone. My second favourite combo is Brooke and Sydney.

hello!! well i love the name caleb-its one of the names that i have on my boys list. i also love the name avery for a girl. heres my ideas on naming your 2 girls:
avery alexis(my favorite combo with avery)
allison brooke-call her ally for short...

now a lot of people think twins starting with the same letter is cheesy but i like it-and the 2 names are not THAT close-its not like youre doing aubrey and audrey or something...take care!!

Ok, I like Ally only as a nickname. Avery is a boy's name, how about Aviva, Audrey, Eleni or Elodie?

Suggestions:

Audrey & Grace
Elodie & Bryony
Alina & Mattea (Ally & Mattie or Lina & Tea)
Cecily & Lucy
Brooke & Claire
Alannah & Lucia (Ally & Lucy)

Do you like any?
