Narrowed it down to these!!!

We are expecting twins- a boy and a girl. What do you think of these names?
Girls-
Madison Ella(Madi)
Sophia Jade
Sarah Catherine
Boys-
Maxwell Paul(Max)
Noah Joesph

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

OOO! Twins! Aren't you lucky! ;)
I really like Sophia Jade and Maxwell Paul.

I just wanted to point out to you, though, that all of your names are on the popular side. I don't know if that bothers you, but I thought I'd point it out.

Madison is #4 - That means 16,853 babies were born with that name in 2008, alone.
Sophia is #7 and Sarah is #20

Maxwell is your least popular name at #134, but Noah landed at #15.

You definitley have every right to still use these names, but since you posted asking for our opinions I just wanted to share this find with you. It may not bother you, and that is quite alright (They are very nice names) but if this new information changes your mind let us know and we'll be more than happy to suggest alternative names :)
Good Luck to you and your beautiful twins!

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

I am also on the Sophia Jade and Maxwell Paul bandwagon.

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

I LOVE Maxwell Paul!
Sophia is very pretty as well, but I'm wondering if maybe there is a middle name with slightly better flow. I like Jade, but it sounds a bit abrupt next to Sophia somehow.
I also really like the combo Ella Sophia.

Maxwell Paul and Sarah Cate.

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

Maxwell Paul and Madison Ella ;)

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

Sophia Jade and Noah Joseph definitely get my choice :)

But, I know you said you've narrowed it down, I'd really like to switch it up a little. I hope you don't mind! If you do, then just ignore this part.
I think that Sophia Catherine and Noah Maxwell would be really cute names :)

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

Madison Ella:

Here's what Pam and Linda wrote about Madsion:

"Since we wrote a book called Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana, encouraging parents to move beyond overused names, it's no secret what we think of this trendy surname name (currently Number 4), inspired by the mermaid's name (she took it from a New York street sign) in the eighties movie Splash."

Madison already feels very dated (forever linked to the 90s and this decade) to me (and very trendy), so I prefer some of the others on your list.

Ella is very popular, too, which may or may not bother you, and I think that Ella Madison has a better flow than Madison Ella.

Madeline
Eleanor
Eliza

Sophia Jade: I love Sophia, and wish it weren't so popular. I think it's beautiful. I picture it with a less modern name than Jade, though, such as Jane.

You may also like:

Stella
Susannah
Fiona
Jane
Ruby
Scarlett
Pearl

Sarah Catherine: I love this! :-)

Maxwell Paul(Max): I think this is very handsome. :-)

Noah Joesph: I love both names, but because they both have long O sounds, No and Jo rhyme.

From your list, I'll vote for Sarah Catherine and Maxwell Paul.

Good luck! :-)

Re: Narrowed it down to these!!!

I agree with other posters Madison seems very trendy and dated. I know about 15 girls named madison in the age range of 10-7. Sophia and Ella will the the madison of 2007. In every class i take my daughter to there are 3 ella's and Sophie/sofia's. Jade is cute. maybe jade Catherine. Maxwell is very cute for a boy but Max is soooooo pop. I hope this helps.
