Twin Girls, No Names! Help!

[niamh749]

I know I've posted this before and I am sorry to be so annoying. We're expecting twin girls in May and have NO names! NONE!!

We're a family of redheads and assume the girls will have red hair as well, but when asked for suggested "redheaded" names, it became apparent that was a silly criteria for names. Ditto trying to pick out a theme twin-set of names. So, I'm basically back to the drawing board.

My DH has no suggestions and is no help at all.

Our 3 year old DS is named Connor and we LOVE his name. I so would like to find girls names I love just as much as my son's. But every name suggested to us just doesn't sound right and I don't know what to do! Everything is either:

Too trendy, too popular, too common or boring, too weird, too SOMETHING. Gah!

The only names I liked even a little were nature names like Violet, Daisy, Aspen and Sage. But those were all vetoed.

I'd really love some help. I don't know where to really start. I'd like meaningful names, I'd like them to kind of "go" with Connor. Our last name is very English and we had a lot of people tell us how very British Connor's name sounded (in a good way, lol).

I like Felicity a lot. but DH doesn't.

I suck at this. I am so afraid these babies are going to remain nameless!!

I like Ruby! And that keeps popping up I also like Elowen but wondered if people would try to shorten it to some weird nickname?

I like Rose too and had thought about doing Rose and Ruby. Is that too matchy for twins?

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Feel free to keep 'em coming

Connor is adorable. I think a few sister names for him might be: Bronwen, Nora, Gwendolen, Rosalie, Avalon.

I think Elowen is adorable (and goes REALLY well with Connor.) I thought of Rose for you when writing out my first suggestions, but went with Rosalie instead.

Connor, Elowen and Rosalie could be an adorable sibling name set!

If Elowen gets shortened at all, it'll probably get shortened to Elle, Ellie, or Wynn. Another similar name I just thought of is Eliora (el-lee-or-ah). Rose and Ruby are cute, but a little close for me personally.
