I've posted here several times and am still coming back to the same names. So I wanted to get your opinions on my options. I'm having b/g twins and we are naming the boy Luke Thomas- we will call him Luke. The girl we are naming after my sister Elizabeth but will nickname her Ella. Here are my options so far, which one do you like best? Or do you have suggestions for another middle name?

Elizabeth Katherine- call her Ella
Elizabeth Katherine- call her Ella Kate
Elizabeth Kate- Call her Ella Kate
Elizabeth ?????- call her Ella ???

The reason we're thinking of using Katherine is because that is my middle name and Thomas is my husband's.

Congrats on the two babies!!
Could you go with Katherine Elizabeth and call her by her MN? I just feel it 'flows' better than the reverse.
Although, Ella Kate is a beautiful name, I love that option.
Also,
Ella Grace
Ella Paige
Ella Jane

I really like the double name idea, it would nicely set her apart since Ella is so popular now.

Definitely "Elizabeth Katherine - call her Ella". Elizabeth & Ella are such pretty names & go well w/ Luke. I would also go ahead & give her your mn ... but I'm not crazy about the "Ella Kate" idea. So I vote for naming her Elizabeth & calling her Ella.

I love Elizabeth Katherine, esp. since both twins will have a parent's mn.
