Just found out I'm pregnant with girl/boy twins! Help!

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new here, so hello, and thanks for coming to my thread. I REALLY need help, as I just found out I'm pregnant with my SECOND set of girl/boy twins. Me and my DH are quite shocked and have no idea what to name them, as we've already used all the family names with our first three children, and these babies weren't exactly planned.

The names don't necessarily have to have elements of our first names in them, but I'd like the names to go well with our last name, King, and the rest of our kids names;
Winston Charles King (5)
Lucia Isabella King (5)
Cassidy Louise King (3)

Thank you heaps everyone,
Karlyn King :)

Also, I just thought I should mention, I love unusual and old names, and will consider anything. (:

Re: Just found out I'm pregnant with girl/boy twins! Help!

Please help, I am 25 weeks and as we all know, twins often arrive much earlier than expected.

By the way, my dh and I both have Irish heritage so a little bit of Irish in the name would be darling.

Re: Just found out I'm pregnant with girl/boy twins! Help!

With your three and the ones you and dh like so far, here are my thoughts for what they're worth:
Winston Charles King (5)
Lucia Isabella King (5)
Cassidy Louise King (3)


Juliet - I like this one for you as it is both modern and old-fashioned to span the styles of Lucia and Cassidy.
Genevieve - this one doesn't seem to fit well with Cassidy or Winston imo
Violet - this one is also old fashioned like Lucia but a little spunky like Cassidy. It is a little more popular than some of your other options but not very I don't think. My mind always sees Violent but that's probably just me
Cordelia - I like this one and Delia would be cute too as either full name or nn for Cordelia. Does have same ending as Lucia in case that bothers you.
Bryony - love this one
Rowan - this one is not feminine enough imo. Lucia is feminine and Cassidy, while unisex, does immediately seem like a girl in this sibset. But Rowan is too much of a boys name imo. Actually, I think it would be a cute boys name for you as a brother to Winston.

Sebastian - very cute with Lucia, Cassidy and Winston
George - I don't like George but that's just a personal preference. Nothing really wrong with him.
Jasper - love this with Winston and many of your girl choices. Just beware the Twilight phenomenon, but it wouldn't stop me from using it

Atticus - love this
Gideon - so handsome with Winston!
Julian - has always struck me as effeminate but that's just me
Raphael - not my favorite on your list
Stellan - ok. I'd actually prefer to see Stella on your girls list than Stellan.

Adele - such a cute name. And it's not too frilly so it seems to mesh with Cassidy too I think
Cecelia/Celia - a solid choice. Has Lucia's ending
June/Juniper - I'd go with Juniper of these two and use June as a nn. I like that it doesn't share the beginning letter or ending sound with any of the other siblings. Spunky like Cassidy and fresh
Violet/Violetta/Viola - nms
Willa/Willow - I like Willa a lot and Willow is a favorite of DH's.

Hmmm, lots of nice choices. My favorites and possible pairs:
Jasper and Delia
Atticus and Jasper
Juniper and Stella

Re: Just found out I'm pregnant with girl/boy twins! Help!

First off, Congratulations! Second, how are pronouncing Lucia? Lu-CHEE-uh or Lu-CEE-uh or Lu-SH-uh. And now, to the names...

Juliet- This is a gorgeous name but I think there's a big difference style-wise when paired with Cassidy and Lucia.
Genevieve- I think this a a beautiful choice: my one problem is that it's so much longer than your other two girls' names.
Violet- very beautiful. I think it's my favorite with Cassidy and Lucia!
Cordelia - not my favorite because I think the hard c matches with Cassidy but not with Lucia.
Bryony- my second favorite after Violet. Bryony is pretty but shares the y ending with Cassidy that Lucia does not
Rowan- this has always been a boys name to me but then again, that's just me.

Sebastian- very handsome but maybe a tad too long for your other childrens' names
George- I don't think it matches very well
Jasper- very nice flow with your son's name and with your daughters' as well! Although as another poster commented, beware of Twilight.
Atticus- tied with Julian in first place
Gideon- it's nice but a big too "old" for me.
Julian- tied with Atticus
Raphael- This does match everyone else's names but...I just don't like this name as much as your other names
Stellan- like other posters, I prefer Stella for a girl than Stellan for a boy.
