Identical Twin Girls
by cbreton on Wed Sep 30, 2009 4:14 pm
Hello =)
I just found out I am having twins. Both my husband and I are having a difficult time choosing names for our girls. I want them each name to have a different first letter and I would like it if they did not rhyme. I figure with identical twins they will be matchy-matchy enough just with looks so their names should be unique (but from the same genre). Both my husband and I are drawn towards more gender neutral names for girls, but are open to less trendy/unique names too. We have both liked the name Piper (been on our list for the past 8+ years). Another name we have been toying with is Riley (or Rylie, Rylee).
Do you all have any other suggestions?
Thanks for all of your help!

Congratulations! I think that having unique names in the same style for your girls is the best idea - as you say, looking the same will be matchy enough!

Riley is more popular as a unisex name. It's not that I hear it all the time, it's just it seems to be the most popular (in my area) of the unisex bunch. I've always loved Piper as well as Parker, Paulie (short for Paulina) and Poppy (not unisex but hey it starts with a "P").
Lamps has got a great list of unisex names going, it will be tough to add to it but I'll try. I tried not to repeat, my apologies if I did.
Allen/Allyn - well I like it anyway.
Benni
Berlin
Emery
Charlie - you might want this as a nn for a longer name. I do love it on it's own though.
Carter
Carlin nn Carly or none at all.
Chandler
Channing
Dorian nn Dora or Dori or none at all.
Gray
Grayson - I hear Grace, which I love but it's popular. The spelling of this is very masculine. I still like it for a girl.
Henley
Jo - there are lots of longer names that could achieve this nn.
Kinsley
London
Linden - nn Lindy/Lindie a favorite of mine.
Landry
Max - nn for Maxine
Marley - could use Marla and nn Marley
Nick - short for Nicola, Nicole, Nicolette
Ollie - short for Olivia or on it's own.
Paulie/Pauli - nn for Paulina
Porter - a bit more masculine than the rest.
Reed/Reid
Rory - a nn name with longer verserions. Veronica, Aurora ect.
Romy - a nn for Rosemary or Rosemarie but I love it by itself.
Reagan
Shay/Shae/Shea - pretty feminine though.
Sterling
Schuyler/Skylar
Teagan
Toby - I love for a girl. I'm probably alone with this one.

Congratulations! I like Piper too. I think they should also have different endings--Piper and Harper for example might still be too matchy.
Piper and Avery
Piper and Audra
Piper and Linden
Piper and Shea
Piper and Barrett
