New twins name dilemma!!

I just want to thank everyone who voted in the polls to help us name our soon-to-be-born baby girls! After all the polls were done the winner seemed to be Amelia Rose and Lindsay Grace, but now my family has suggested using my grandmothers' names as a possibility for one of our girls; so now I am wondering what everyone thinks of this new name set:
Amelia Rose & Sadie Isabella (both my grandma's names).
Or maybe you have suggestions of how to incorporate Sadie and Isabella into the name set, I just don't want Isabella as a first name.
Thanks for all your help!

I think Amelia Rose and Sadie Isabella sound great and I love using family names.

I like both of your options. I guess I slightly prefer Sadie over Lindsay.

That would be nice to use them as mn's. I wouldn't give one twin all the family names (I don't remember if Amelia or Rose are family names) FWIW. I personally don't like Sadie or Isabella as fn's. Sadie is too nicknamey/ cutesy for me, and Isabella is too popular for me. But I love the meaning and would like them as mn's.

I love that combo. for you and love that it has meaning too :) I would do Amelia Rose and Sadie Isabelle/Isobel is seems less fussy with Sadie. Or, if Amelia Rose isn't a family name how about switching it up so they both have a family name somewhere. Example:

Amelia Isabelle and Sadie Rose

or

Isabella Rose and Sadie Amelia

Good luck!

Love Sadie, prefer over Lindsay.

Sadie could be a nickname for Sarah, although I like Sadie by itself.

Sarah Isabella (nickname Sadie)

I think it is nice to honor both grandmothers.

I really prefer Amelia and Sadie (or Sadie as a nn for Sarah) to Amelia and Lindsay...Amelia and Sadie seem to belong to the same era, whereas Lindsay seems so very '80s and smacks of Ms. Lohan and her collective baggage.

hello!! you COULD use the grandmothers names-sadie could be a nickname for sarah and sarah isabella doesnt sound too bad-its quite cute if you ask me. but-that being said, you could also give your kids their own names-my hubby is very particular about that-he doesnt want any of our kids to have anyones name(and im fighting with him on this one-if i ever have another child and its a girl-i want to use the middle name judith-after my friend who passed away and his mom-and he doesnt want to...)-he wants them to have their OWN name-i have an isabelle grace and violet rose-none of the names are after anyone. i like amelia and lindsey-i hear amelia often, but not lindsey. i really like lindsey-its pretty and classic. take care!!

I LOVE Sadie Isabella, so much more than Lindsay Grace. I think Sadie and Amelia go better together, they both have that sweet old fashioned feel, wherease I think Lindsay is a little more 80's dated. Plus, I love the family connection.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Once I saw the combo Amelia Sadie & Mary Isabella,I was very happy. Amelia Is his grandmas name and his mom's mn, and Mary is my mom's name, so the combo of the two is perfect! I don't know why we didn't think of it before...possibly because I can't seem to remember anything,anymore! So now I think that we can either go with Amelia Sadie(nn Amy or Mia) & Mary Isabella (nn Bella), or Amelia Rose(Rose is my Aunt's name) and Sadie Isabella(nn Bella). BTW, the reason we aren't going with any version of Sarah is because between us we have 10 relatives with that name...so, I'm kinda Sarah'd out! Thanks for all the help!
