Need help naming twins

Okay, I have five singletons and a set of fraternal twin boys already. I am expecting another set of twins and we are not finding out the gender ahead of time, so I need two girl names and two boy names. My other children are:
Joseph Tyler (Joey) 12
Ashlynn Taylor 11
Donald Austin (Austin) 9
Lance Eli (Eli) 7
Jacob Colton (Jake) 5 and twins
Lucas Durham (Luke) and Zackary West (Zack) 2
We are so out of boy names and there are too many girl names that I love to narrow it down. I would love ideas for names that you think would "fit" with our others. We are considering some already: Evan, Noah, Kyle, John but I am open to anything.
For girls, I love Isabella Grace (Ella) and Margaret Ann (Maggie) and my other favorite Lilly (which we were going to use with Luke had they been b/g twins. I also considered Cassidy and Kennedy if the last two were both girls. This time, nothing seems right yet.

Twin Girls:
Isabella nn Ella and Margaret nn Maggie make a great set of twins

Hi Donna....
7 children!! And 2 more on the way...!! Oh My! You're braver than I am. LOL At my age (40) I'll settle for 1, but hope for twins.
Your names are great & I love the ones that you're thinking about. Have you thought about using family middle or last names as possible names???
Hope you have smooth sailing throughout the rest of your pregnancy.
Take Care,

Our last set of twins have family maiden names as their middle names. Although they don't have "twin" names, they do have that link for the history of their names. I would love to do something like that again, but it gets SO hard when you have seven children already.
Another problem we have is DH is older than I am and he tends to like names that I think are out of style. I'm not major into trendy names, and I would agree to traditional names, but I don't want something that just "so seventies..." He would never agree to some of the things I love like Gavin, Graham, Aidan - it's really getting hard.
So far (this week) I am leaning toward Lilly Grace and Margaret Ann for twin girls. Problem is that Margaret is my favorite aunt and Ann is both my Mom and my middle names. Based on that, I should probably choose Isabella Grace for one of the babies since Isabelle is DH's mother's middle name. But I really want to have a Lilly if I do (probably not likely) have a little girl.
For twin boys, I'm totally open. My older children are making it even harder since they already "hate" so many kids who have names we are considering. DS#1's first girlfriend was named Maggie, so he's wanting to veto that name. I wish I could find a cool way to make their names have a connection without going with "twin" names.

EDD 12/18 with suprise twins!
Joey, Ashlynn, Austin, Eli, Jake, Luke & Zack & twins....
From your boy choices I like Noah & John best.
I like your girls names. I would go with Margaret & Liliana myself. Maggie & Lily for nicknames. Or Liliana & Isabella with Lily & Ella as nicknames. Sorry, Cassidy and Kennedy I don't like
Boy/Boy:
John & Henry
Noah & Adam
Grant & Cole
Adam & Shane
Nolan & Grant (one of our boy/boy twin choices if my b/g twins had both been boys)
Gabriel & Noah
Noah & Caleb (nickname Cale)
Alexander & Nicholas (Alex or Xander & Cole)
Girls:
Susannah(Sanna) & Genevieve (Evie)
Margaret & Sarah (Maggie & Sadie as nicknames)
Charlotte & Marguerite (Lottie & Daisy)
Caroline & Eleanor (Lina & Nora)
Liliana & Mariella (Lily & Ella)
Eliana & Lila (Ella & Lily)
Cassandra & Kenna (Cassie & Kenna)
Audrey & Lily
Audrey & Hope
Linnea (Nea) & Dahlia (Lia)
Mattea or Matilda(Mattie, Tea or Tilly) & Liliana (Lily or Annie)
Boy/Girl:
Grant Adam & Audrey Anna(my 5 year old twins names - I think Grant & Audrey would fit in well with your kids names)
John & Margaret (Maggie, Maisie, Daisy or Greta)
Noah & Lily
Henry & Eleanor (Ella, Ellie or Nora)
Nicholas & Isabella (Cole & Ella)
Adam & Sarah(Sadie)
Wow, you will have 4 under the age of 5 at the same time. At least you have the older kids to help. Good luck.
I just read your second post:
My DH isn't older, but he also likes names that are more 70's - like Brandon, etc. I prefer names like Graham and Gavin also. Hard to find compromise names. I got him to agree to Audrey because it is Faith Hill's real first name. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone for it.
I really like the idea of honoring relatives.
Why not use Isobel Margaret & Liliana Grace (or Lily Anna Grace)
Since you use the middle as a nickname sometimes you could go with:
Isabelle Lily & Anna/Anne Margaret (Lily & Maisie, Lily and Daisy, Ella & Annie)
If your DH hates Maggie, go with a different nickname. I like Maisie, Daisy, Meg in addition to Maggie for Margaret.
Linnea also has a meaning of twinflower. we almost named our girl twin this name. If you give the second twin the name of a flower maybe? Linnea & Dahlia, Linnea & Marguerite, etc.
Other names that mean twin: Thomas, Tamsin, Tavish...
You could pick names with similar meanings might be a way to connect the names...
