Helena, Edward, James and...?

Hi! I'm pregnant with g/b twins and I can't for the life of me decide on a girl's name! For the boy we've settled on James Andrew, and our other children are Helena Claire and Edward Thomas.
I like Lydia, but it doesn't feel quite right... other names we're considering are Rose, Isobel, Matilda and Eleanor but none of them seems to be 'the' name.

Which of these do you like best? If you have any suggestions I'd be more than glad to read them.

Congrats - your children have beautiful classic names (I was just saying to dh last night that i like the name james).
Lydia is another favorite of mine - does Lilly feel better to you (Lillian nn Lilly).
Lucy would also be beautiful in your sibset.
Eleanor is just too similar to Helena to me.
The others are all pretty names.

A couple others that sound nice:
Charlotte
Annabelle
Moira
Sara
Jane would be cute, but probably too matchy to James - great mn though
Evelyn - nn Eva, Evie
Margaret - nn Maggie or Meg
Lauren
Kate (or a formal name with Kate as the nn)

I really like Lucy, Charlotte, Kate, and Annabelle for you.
Good Luck!

I have nieces Helena Jane and Cecily Claire, and I love the combo of the two as sisters names. But from your list, I like Matilda and Rose best.

I love the name Lillian nn Lily but with a brother named James I wouldn't use it because James & Lily are Harry Potter's parents. When we named our DD1 Eleanor we knew it pretty much took Franklin(a family name) out of running as a fn.

Matilda is probably my favorite
I would also love Lilah/ Lila
Matilda Isabelle(prefer this spelling) Isobel is cute
or Matilda Rose
Lila-Rose as a double is very pretty

Believe it or not just reading your title line the first name that came to mind was Lydia. Other suggestions


Georgina, Charlotte, Vivian, Lily.


Your children have wonderful names and I am sure you will find something equally as wonderful.
