Just found out having twins - need more names!

Hi

Had just decided on our girl and boy names and have just found out having twins so more names needed! Any GG, GB, BB combination suggestions?

Our girls name: Piper Evelyn
Our boys name: Benjamin Francis

Was thinking Benjamin Francis and Timothy Walter for BB. Thoughts?

Bit stuck for another girls name though... Like traditional names like Mabel, Flora, Florence, Meryl, Marielle etc. Help!

Thanks

Re: Just found out having twins - need more names!

Congratulations! I love your current choices

Piper Evelyn
Benjamin Francis

I think Benjamin and Timothy Walter go very well together. You may also like:
Thomas
Justin
Jonathan
Samuel
Andrew
Harrison
Nicholas


Of the girls names you had listed, I think only Meryl goes with Piper. It seems to me like Piper needs a less frilly, less overtly feminine name. I don't consider it unisex but it's not at all frilly. Maybe:
Bronwyn
Avery
Shelby
Tatum
Hadley
Stella
Ainsley
Kennedy
Brinley
Marlo

Are the middles family names? Any other middle names for girls in mind?

Re: Just found out having twins - need more names!

I think that you are set on boys' names! I love the combo you have chosen if both your babies are boys or if you have one boy and one girl!

If you have 2 girls, I think Piper's sister needs a name that is equally energetic and fun! Piper gives off the vibe of being friendly, bubbly and someone with a great smile! Some ideas:

Genie/Jeanie
Phoebe
Sunny (I knew a Sunnya once, too! She pronounced it son-yah)
Rory
Lulu
Valerie
Bree
Beate (German, pro. Bee-ay-teh)
Demi
Penny
Polly

Hi! Congratulations! I think Benjamin is so cute, and so is the nickname Ben, that Timothy (Tim, Timmy) doesn't compare. Just my personal opinion...

Benjamin Francis and ...

Anderson
Archibald
Elliott
Harrison
Nicolas
William

For middle names, Calvin, Curtis, Jerome, Marcus, Martin, Quintin, or Vincent? I really like Benjamin Francis and William Curtis or Elliott Marcus.

As for girls, your names seem to vintage-y to match the more unisex (albeit, feminine by unisex standards) Piper Evelyn.

What about these?

Ainsley
Arden
Bristol
Darby
Devon
Ellis
Farrah
Haley
Harlow
Hollis
Leighton
Presley
Rowan
Sawyer
Spencer
Willow

As for middle names, Adeline, Annabel, Beatrix, Cecily, Elinor, Eliza, Georgina, Lillian, Louisa, Margaret, Matilda, and Rosalind would be perfect with Evelyn! I really like Piper Evelyn and Haley Georgina or Hollis Matilda or Rowan Beatrix! Good luck!

Re: Just found out having twins - need more names!

I love Phoebe/Polly/Penny but thinking having 2 Miss P... would be a bad idea.

Other names we've been considering:
Lorelai (Rory)
Olive
Hazel
Dolly
Kaylan (had lots of discussion on this one already!!!)
Anything else along these lines...

Thoughts on combo with Piper and ideas for mn combos please!

Re: Just found out having twins - need more names!

Also love Timothy. Here are some other boy choices:

Daniel
Gideon
Graham
Wesley

And girls to go with Piper:

Zinnia
Regina
Lorelei
Felicity
Eulalie
Brenna
Alice

Good Luck!

Ha! posted at the same time--obviously I love Lorelei too!

Oops, I totally forgot BG! Um, any of the girl middle names I suggested would sound perfect with Benjamin! I particularly like Adeline, Cecily, Eliza, and Matilda. As for the girl's middle name (to match Francis), something like Clara, Emma, Florence, Rosa, or Stella would be pretty! Benjamin Francis and Adeline Stella are really nice, as is Eliza Florence or Matilda Florence.

Something to match Piper Evelyn for a boy might be:

Ashton
Austin
Barrett
Beckett
Corbin
Landen
Parker
Rylan
Wesley

For a middle name, any of the boy names I suggested to go with Benjamin would be cute! I really like Piper Evelyn and Ashton William, Beckett Anderson, or Landen Elliott. Good luck choosing your twins' names!

Re: Just found out having twins - need more names!

Lorelai (Rory) - love it! But seems to be a completely different syle than Piper. Just Rory is closer.

Olive - Super cute! Great combo!

Hazel - Same as Olive. My favorite of your combos!

Dolly - not a huge fan, especially since Rebecca Romjin just named one of her twin girls Dolly.

Kaylan - too trendy to go with Piper.


My vote is for Hazel, with Olive and Rory close behind!
