They're not mine, but, my sister found out about a month ago that she is having twins! Needless to say we were all pretty surprised and very excited! So, she needs help on some names and tends to like longer names that can be shortened into a nn. They won't find out for about a month what the sexes are but this is what they have so far:
Joseph Walden
Elizabeth Noelle nn Lizzie
Cannot use: Caroline, Carolyn, Kathleen, Michelle
They need to have one more girl name and one more boy name on standby! Any ideas?? Also, are there any really good twin resources out there on the net? These are her first babies and I think she's a little overwhelmed. It has been difficult finding twin products.
Thanks!

I have twins and I would recommend that your sister check out the website for the National Organization for Mothers of Twins (http://www.nomotc.org/). She can also find out of there is a local club in her area.
Here are some names I like with Joseph & Elizabeth.

Andrew
Matthew
Christopher

Wow, congrats on being an aunt to twins!
Here are some other names that I think would go well with Joseph and/or Elizabeth...
Boys:
Jacob
Joshua
Michael
Matthew
Zachary
Aaron
David
Alexander
Girls:
Abigail
Amelia
Catherine/Katherine
Julianne/Julianna
Margaret
Madeline
Eleanor
I don't know much about twins, but I'm pretty sure there's a "multiples" board here at IV, so you might want to ask there.
HTH!
Stephanie
Wow, that is exciting!
I like both Elizabeth and Joseph. I think Noelle is a pretty and underused name.
A few other ideas:
Amelia nn Mia or Mimi
Eleanor nn Nora or Nell
Margaret nn Meg, Greta or Maggie
Annabel nn Annie
If she has two girls, I think Lizzie and Mia are really cute together. Annie and Lizzie also sound nice together.
Benjamin nn Ben
Nathaniel or Nathan nn Nate
Nicholas nn Nick
Calvin nn Cal
If she has two boys, I like Joe and Ben.
Hope this helps!
