Re: My twins! Dure in March!

My favorites from your list:

Adelaide (Addy)
Alexandra
Bronwyn
Charlotte (Lottie)
Mia

Charlotte (Lottie) & Adelaide (Addie) would be my favorite pair.

Alexandra (Lexi) and Amelia (Mia) would be lovely as a suggestion

Re: My twins! Dure in March!

Please more help guys!

Re: My twins! Dure in March!

Adelaide (Addy): I think that Adelaide is lovely and sophisticated.

Adriana (Addy): I think this is beautiful...

Alexandra (Alex, but can you think of any others??): I think it's a strong name, although a bit trendy to me. You could also call her Lexie, Allie, Andie or Xandie.

Baylee: I'm not a fan of Baylee/Bailey/Bayley/Bayleigh or the aylee trend, which includes names such as Braylie/Braelee/Caylee/Caleigh/Haylee/Jaylee/Shaylee...

Pam and Linda wrote a blog about this trend, which you may find interesting:

Briana: I prefer some of the other names on your list.

Bronwyn: I think it's pretty...

Bryony: I think it's beautiful. (I love floral/botanical names.) :-)

Cameron: A boy's name to me.

Cassia: I really like this name, but Cassia may encounter pronunciation issues (cash-uh and cass-ee-uh).

Charlotte (Lottie or Charley, love both!): I really love Charlotte and Lottie. :-)

Demi: Moore and Lovato.

Eliza: I LOVE Eliza!

Faye: I prefer some of the other names on your list.

Fayth: I think that Faith is pretty, but I'm not a fan of yooneek spellings.

Fearne: Is this supposed to be Fern?

Gabriella: I think it's beautiful, but it's pretty trendy in the U.S.

Jodi: Jodi feels very 1970s to me. I love Josephine, though!

Jude: This is a boy's name to me.

Katy: I think it's a sweet nickname for Katherine, but I'm more of a Katie person.

Leonie: I think this is pretty....

Libby: I think it's a great nickname for Elizabeth, but it doesn't feel substantial enough to me on its own.

Linhee: I've never seen this name before. Is it a family name? I prefer some of the others on your list.

Lottie: I love it as a nickname for Charlotte, but not on its own.

Lydia: I love the name Lydia!

Melissa: Melissa feels very 1980s to me.

Mia: I think it's very pretty, but it's also very popular. I like it on its own and as nickname for Amelia.

Nadia: I only think of Nadia Suleman, the wacky mom of the octuplets.

Nadine: I prefer some of the other names on your list.

Niemh: Depending on where you live, pronunciation issues may come into play for Niemh.

Piper: Not my style, but I can see its appeal.

Riley: I prefer some of your other names...

Ryan: A boy's name to me....

Sadie: I think that Sadie is sweet and spunky, and I really like it as a nickname for Sarah.

Skye: Not my style, but I can see its appeal.

Sofia: I think it's beautiful, but it's very, very popular.

Stella: I really like this name...

My favorites from your list:

Adelaide
Charlotte
Eliza
Lydia
Stella

Good luck! :-)

Re: My twins! Dure in March!

I edited your list removing the names that I feel are unusable either because of over popularity or they r dated. First nail down the FN then you van fill in middle names later.

Niamh (i would use Neve unless you like in the UK) and Faye

Sadie and Cassia


Adelaide (Addy)
Adriana
Alexandra
Bronwyn
Bryony
Cameron
Cassia
Charlotte (Lottie or Charley)
Eliza
Faye
Faith
Fern
Gabriella
Kate
Lydia
Mia
Nadia
Nadine
Niemh or Neve
Piper
Sadie

Re: My twins! Dure in March!

Thankyou so much guys! You're really helping and my list is narrowed down a little. I already have a two year old daughter calleed Riley Martha so I really put Riley on there just to see what people think of it - obviously I won't use it again! lol, so here's my renovated list! It was sp hard to get rid of some of my favourite names but I'm really thinking what'll go with Riley and what I'm actually really likely to use - although it's killing me to remove Amelia, Briana and Adriana and all the rest that've gone! =*(

Adelaide (Addy)

Alexandra (Alex or I'm now leaning towards Ally?)

Bronwyn (possibly a mn because my frind is having a Bronwyn)

Cameron (Cammi or Cam)

Cassia (Cassie or Cass, pron, Cass-e-a not Cash-a)

Charlotte (Lottie or Charley)

Eliza (only mn material really because my reinf is having an Elizabeth)

Faye (probably just mn)

Fern (I'm back to this spelling, this is the one I've always liked but I saw it spelled Fearne the other day and immediatly loved it, now I've gone off it again - it was a short love lol)

Gabriella (Ella, not a fan of Gabby

Katy (mn?)

Leonie

Liberty (I've just added this because people have been saying I oculd use Libby as nn, and I LOVE Libby so much)

Lydia (Lydie)

Mia (possible mn?)

Piper

Ryan (Ry, possibly mn because I suppose Ryan and Riley would sound like two boyus, still one of my loves though)

Sadie

Skye (mn?)

Sofia (Fia)

Stella

Hopefully this looks a lot shorter - it better do after the pain I just went through! lol

Re: My twins! Dure in March!

I think Liberty (nn Libby) and Skye would make cute twins names. I have a Liberty (nn Libby). My son and daughter-in-law are expecting twins (fraternal so don't know sex combination yet) and I am trying to help them with name possibilities. Liberty means "freedom' and Skye makes me think of free, open, blue skies so i think they pair well together! Good luck. Wish us luck as well.
