twin names...

This has nothing to do with saving money...but that's okay. It's my blog and me and my hubby need some help! We are trying to decide on names for our identical twin girlies! So, we have some favorites and want to know what your favorite combos are. Here are our fav's (in no particular order...oh and one of these I hate but my hubby really wanted me to put it in...hehehe!):

Jordan
Lily
Natalie
Jillian
Jaden
Naomi

Let us know what two names you like best together! Oh and please tell me your favorite girl names too because we're always open to new ideas!

Honestly.... maybe Lily. Lillian and Jillian could be cute.. You could call jillian, jillybean. I like older names like Isabella.

Jessica said...

I like Lily and Natalie. It might be easier if they don't rhyme or start with the same letter.
Congrats!

Kristin said...

Wow! 4 girls!! That's awesome! I second Lily and Natalie. They both end with the same sound and flow nicely together.

Christina said...

I like Lily and Natalie!

Tabitha said...

Jordan and Jillian
I like Natalie but I don't know which other choice I would put it with?
What are your other daughter's names? My brother had 4 girls - Gabriella, Isabella, Sophia and Angelina!

My son would have been Addison if he had been a girl.

I like the names chole and kennedy. jordan and jaden...
i wanted to name my daughter olivia but the hubby would go for it. but i still like it :)

JenMarie said...

Ooo...Lily and Jillian!
Hmmm...I like Jordan and Jillian too...
One of my favorite girl names is Anna Marie and Anna Kate.

Laura said...

I think of those four choices I like Naomi and Natalie together. A couple of other girl names I love are Janelle and Joanna. (I would have named one of my girls Janelle, but I'm not thrilled with "J" names since our last name starts with "J" as well.)

Jolene said...

oh I love girl names...I have so many picked out for that one girl I wish I could have?! It seems we only have boys here! LOL! I love Lily! Jilly would go great! My fav girly names are Isabella, Carly and Rowen.

Nichole said...

My niece and nephew are Jillian Taler and Jaden Thomas but Jaden works for a girl also. My other niece and nephew are Kieren and Kyron. These are all boy girl twins. Laura I like the double J names. My cousin has all of his childern with J names because the last name is Jefferson. Those are Jacobi, Jeren, Jaston, and Jalen so there are a couple more Jeren and Jaston are girl names. I also like Natalie and Nichole, Emily and Emma, Lindsey and Lacey, Laura and Lauren.

Neta said...

My daughter's name is Liliana and we call her Lily, so I am partial to that name. I like Jaden too, very cute.

Megan said...

Without looking at the other responses, my favorites that I leaned towards were Lily and Natalie. All the names are beautiful. Especially with having identical twins, personally, I'd try to have two names that don't sound too similar because although it's easy for family to remember the different names with twins, oftentimes, it makes it very difficult for non-family members to remember. Of course, it's totally up to you but that's just my two cents.

I would go for cutesy since they're identical. I really like Lillian and Jillian as a pairing.

Jordan and Jaden are too ambiguous these days--could be used for boys or girls. I prefer more clearly feminine names.

My favorite name on its own from your list is Natalie, but I'm not that fond of Naomi (hate that it's "I moan" spelled backwards). My daughter's name is Nina, so maybe Natalie and Nina? Or how about Natalie and Noelle?

Congrats!

I liked the names Savannah and Susannah and my husband like Camille and Cordelia, but we got boys.

if i was a twin, i wouldn't be pleased to have a rhyming name with my sibling. it would be hard enough being identical but to have my name sound like my sister's name.... no, wouldn't like that.

i like naomi and jordan.

Nicole said...

Jordan and Jaden would be cute but I like the spelling a little different for girls. Jordyn and Jaedyn. But they do sound so similar, maybe too similar. Holly and Hailey would be cute but again similar. I'm not much help. I'll have to think about it for a while and comment again later.

I would stay clear of starting them both with the same letter or making them sound too similar. My sister and I are Jennifer and Jessica and people have been mixing us up for 30 years now!! Your girls will feel a lot more like they have their own identity if they have more individualistic names.

My fave girl names: Meredith, Vivian, Paige
Pair from your list: Lily and Natalie

My two year olds daughters name is Linden so if we have another girl her name will be Lauren. I do like names to match. Thats just me. Another one of my fav girl names is keringhton & Kadance.
Your names are cute! I like Lilly and Natalie too like everyone else! Good Luck!

Shelly T. said...

I like Jillian & Jaden.

Sally said...

I like Lily, have friends with twins they named Lily and Lucy. Cute! Lily does go well with Natalie, but Jillian and Jaden are nice names also. Such a difficult decision.

Kim said...

I think Natalie is an adorable name - its one name that we'll consider if and when we have another little girl! My girls are Madilyn and Claire - and I think they both go well with the name Natalie. I also like Charlotte. We have a niece with the name Lillian - and I think that is adorable. I do agree with some of the previous comments about not having the names be too "sing-songy" and rhyme. ALthough "Jilly & Lily" is adorable - it might get a bit confusing for others - and annoying as the girls get older.

Jackie said...

please dont rhyme them! I am an identical twin and my sister and I are Janine and Jackie. I love the Js...I think Jaden is a boys name...i work with babies and I see Jaden for boys more than girls. Maybe Jordan and Jillian. That would be cute. I love the name Abigail...maybe the girl that posted up there Addison...Abby and Addy :) haha

Tiffany said...

I like Jordan and Jillian but that is me. My son's name is Jordan but it was going to be whether he was a boy or a girl. I love Jaden also. We thought about naming our youngest Jaden but I personally think Jordan and Jaden are too much alike.

I like jillian and naomi. But other than that I love ada and polly. Both unusual but so cute.

Short On Cents said...

Jaden & Jilliam 2 cute 2gether however i like Makenna

The Brindley's said...

My friend has twins named Lily and Sophie....love it!!! I like Jordan and Jillian.

Megan said...

I love Lily. I think Jillian would be cute with it. I would stay away from names that match or start with the same letter. I used to teach and taught a couple of sets of identical twins. They told me they get mixed up enough that they wished they had names that were not alike. We were going to do Luke and Liam for id twins, but changed to Luke and Greyson so we wouldn't have two L's. If you scrapbook - trust me - you will want different letters. I label them L and G in almost every photo. Otherwise I am afraid when I am gone one day no one will know who was who. A couple of our girl names were Lucy, Kate, Adelyn (Addy) and Caroline.
