Help name my twins
| Fri, 08-27-2004 - 1:49pm |
I'm expecting twins due December 13th, a boy and a girl. I already have one son, Oliver who we call Ollie. I'd like names that fit with the names in the family, Emily, James and Oliver.
Names we are thinking about:
baby girl-
Clara
Isabel
Juliana
Leah
Margaret - Maggie
Audrey
middle -
Elisabeth
Emily
Catherine
Emilia
Right now my favorite is Audrey Catherine and Dh's favorite is Margaret Emilia.
Baby boy -
John
Jack
Alexander
Benjamin
Jacob
Joshua
Samuel
Middle -
Laurence
Peter
George
Alexander
McCleod (pronounced muh-cloud) (my maiden name)
Croix (my mother's maiden name)\
My favorite is Benjamin Croix and DH's favorite is Jack Mcleod
We could use some help because we aren't agreeing on anything!
Thanks a lot
Emily, James and Ollie + twins

For your girl:
I like Margaret/Maggie best. I think it really fits with your family style of names. I also adore the nn Meg.
My second choice would be Audrey, followed by Juliana (love Jules as a nn!) and Clara.
Combos that sound good - Margaret Elisabeth, Margaret Emily, Audrey Catherine, Audrey Elisabeth, Juliana Catherine, Juliana Emily, Clara Elisabeth.
For your boy:
I like John the best, with the nn Jack. Jack as a stand alone is good, too. Benjamin and Samuel are runners up.
I like a lot of your middle name selections for boys, but it's so nice to use family names. Have you thought of using your maiden name for one twin and your mother's maiden name for another. For example: Margaret Croix and Jack McCleoud. That way each twin will have a middle name with a family connection.
Hope this helps!
Congrats on your twins! For a girl I like Margaret best and then Juliana. Margaret Emilia is very nice. Juliana Catherine is my runner up (although I like Katherine sp better LOL).
For boys names I love Samuel and Benjamin as those are my DS names. I will say that when I had my twins we were only going to use one family name as a middle name. Everyone we met that had older twins told
For a boy, we're both leading towards Benjamin McLeod, but DH really wants some form of John in there after his father, so same as before, we're thinking Benjamin John McLeod.
What does everyone think?
Margaret Emilia Croix (Maggie)
Benjamin John Mcleod
Thanks,
Emily, James and Ollie
Audrey Margaret and Benjamin McCleod are my picks
Then John McCleod for a boy and he could be Jack. Libby and Jack or Betsy and Jack ??
Margaret Emilia nn Maggie & Samuel George get my vote!
Of the girl names you have listed, I like Audrey best, but Zoe and Phoebe seem more like Oliver's style. And Piper.
Just suggestions....................................
