WDYT of the follwing girls names
| Mon, 06-04-2007 - 9:23pm |
Hi Everyone:
We are having twins in just a few weeks and cannot settle on a girl's name. The boy will be Nathaniel (Nate) and their older sister is Lillian (Lily). Our last name is Adams so we need something not very common. Can you give me your honest opinions on the following first names?
Claire (Is it too common?)
Margot (Is it too snobby?)
Paige (Is it too boring?)
Any feedback would be so helpful!

I like Paige a lot - not boring at all - Claire is boring
Paige & Nate will sound very cute for twins, even though Nate will have Nathaniel for a formal name, I still think it's a nice combo
Margot - I graduated with one and everyone always got smart-alecky and called her Maggot
the other thing I think would sound good as a twin to Nathaniel would be Naomi
<< I'm sorry to say this, but while Margot is a name I *should* like, it does always seem to come across as snobbish to me. :( Also, Nathaniel/Nate and Lillian/Lily, while both traditional, classic names, are very approachable. They have that fun-loving, easy-to-get-to-know feeling about them, if that makes sense. I just don't get that from Margot. >>
I think most people old enough to remember the show think of Margot as snobby, because of Margaux from Punky Brewster. lol.
Anyway, to the op, I love Margot and Claire! They're both on my list.
Margot is also Anne Frank's sister's name.
Oh, Margot, 100%. I LOVE this name. Margot doesn't say snobbish to me; it says confident, intelligent, elegant, and creative. Lillian, Nathaniel, and Margot are wonderful as siblings.
Paige is by far the most popular of your choices, and also the one that's the worst fit with Lillian and Nathaniel. Claire is gaining on Paige in popularity, but isn't horribly common as a first name yet. It's a beautiful, luminous name and would be my second choice for you.
To be quite honest, with Lillian nn Lily and Nathaniel nn Nate, I was thinking that a longer name with a cute nn would work best- ex. Margaret nn Maggie/Greta, Alexandra nn Alex/Andy, Felicity nn Faye/Fliss/Lissy, Adeline nn Addie, Josephine nn Josie, etc. But from your list, I like Margot the best as the others seem a bit boring to me.
