You think that's bad, I've got the same actual name as my mum, not just the initial, what ws she thinking

I know a family of Pauline and Paul and their children Paula and.... you guessed it- Paul. :rotfl::rotfl:

DS would have been Essien Anastasia had he been a girl.
Grace is one of my middle names and my mum used to encourage me to live up to it and "be GRACEFUL!" I hated it, until I met the woman I was named after. She was called Grace DeVine and I suddenly thought it was a wonderful name.

Congratulations on the pregnancy :beer:

I really like:

Nancy Isla
Ruby Julia
Jocelyn Joy

I'm always thinking of names that I might like should I ever be blessed enough to have children. They normally chop and change. However, these seem to be the ones that I've stuck with that I love.

Good luck xxxx

I agree that an adult Gracie may not be taken seriously and Grace with the nickname Gracie is better. Have you considered Lilly? Lilly and Grace both have 5 letters and go together well I think. Olivia and Grace is also nice.

You can have Olivia and Lily for the price of one - one of my sisters is Olivia, but she's always called Lily or Lil.

We had the same problem - our baby was definitely going to be Elizabeth if a girl, but we had 3-4 options when he was actually born....

Oooh how lovely what a nice thread!

Well I have boys but I had girls names lined up just in case....

Evie or Evie May (Wasnts sure with the May bit but it goes nice together)!

Lucia - We go married in St Lucia and I love that name too!

Good Luck with name choosing

DH and I have been brainstorming all evening and we have finally decided the twins names. Florence Hope and Siena Grace.

We honeymooned in Italy and visited both of those beautiful places and have wonderful memories. We feel they are feminine and hopefully not over used.

Beautiful names you've found!

Just wanted to add in the wisdom I read when we were going through the same process in naming twins but I warn you now some of my friends thought I was over the top!

Consider the number of syllables - you have two in one of the girls first names and three in the other - we have two in each name.

Consider the number of letters in each name - you have 8 in one of the girls and 5 in the other - we have 7 in each.

For when the girls start speaking and writing, I wanted to make sure they had the same amount of things each so that one didn't have it easier than the other eg May and Constantina.

So we have twins Susanna Hope and Bethany Faith. The older girls are Lydia Grace and Naomi Joy.

It's hard work with twins but you get there in the end and it's very sweet
