Question:
I need help with names for my twin girls?

I am having twin girls, due in October and I'm having trouble making my decision on names. My man has already decided which ones he likes I just wanted help to see if there are other names out there I might like.

Some specifics: We have decided to use the middle name Elizabeth. Our other middle names for consideration are Joy or Margaret (but these are not definite like Elizabeth!) Feel free to suggest an alternate second middle name. Our last name starts with Mc and has 9 letters, so keep this in mind when pairing up with Elizabeth because I don't want the names to be a million letters long!

I don't like names that are too trendy or popular. I do like more old-fashioned names that have gone out of popular use. I want something unique (and by unique I do not mean completely made-up). I also don't care for crazy spellings of otherwise popular names (ie Ashleigh for Ashley). Lastly I do not want matching names!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm so glad you're choosing reasonable names; half the people here would name their twins Kaleigh Marie and Haleigh Grace.



Imogen Joy and Tallulah Elizabeth

Penelope Margaret and Nadia Elizabeth

Ruth Margaret and Iris Elizabeth

Evangeline Joy and Greta Elizabeth

Juniper Margaret and Rowena Elizabeth

Terese Joy and Sage Elizabeth

Helena Joy and Cordelia Elizabeth

Wren Margaret and Clarissa Elizabeth

These might be overused, but I've always liked Olivia and Ava:



Olivia Joy

Ava Elizabeth



Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I have a twin sister and our names are Angela Marie and Annette Nicole. I don't often hear these names used! Maybe Angela Joy or Angela Elizabeth.



What about



Evelyn (or Eveline) Joy

Molly Elizabeth

Abbigail Joy

Jolene Elizabeth



Just some suggestions...good luck with the twins!!!
