Honor and Grace are lovely names for women, and as littlies Gracie and Honey seem cute enough.


Have you got middle names sorted ?

Goodness you're wicked, us mothers of twins have a hard enough time thinking of two names let alone four

We copped out and gave them middles names after family members, Charles after my dad and Arnold which was my mum's surname just had to decide which went best with which first name.

If you like older names take a look at the most popular names lists from the 20s and 30s for inspiration - plenty you might discard like Mildred but other that might take your fancy - I like Bessie and Betty - both variations on Elizabeth. I really wanted to call my DD Lola Betty (Delores Elizabeth for sunday best) but was overruled. I have a chicken called Delores instead now!

From personal experience - I wouldn't go for another G-starting name. My brother's got the same initial as I have and when stuff came addressed to J.Bloggs in the post it was always a source of confusion and lots of the wrong letters got opened.

I can second that on my husbands behalf! He and his brother have the same initial and whilst they were living at home it was difficult with post, getting a redirect when we moved was even worse!
Saying that - I think twins with the same initial / similar style names seem so cute!

I really like Gracie, though as a few other posters I do prefer Grace.
Why not Joy to go with her!

Edit: oh and congratulations! twice!

Am loving this idea. Going to show this thread to dh when he gets in from work.

Nope haven't even thought of middle names yet. We are having enough arguments over deciding their first names. Think if I threw having to come up with middle names into the mix dh would turn grey.

There is one poster on here though called Poppy Olivia which I think is a gorgeous name.

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

My cousin suggested a couple of 'old fashioned' names ;- Elsie and Leah but I am not sure. Any opinions much welcomed. Thank you all so much for the suggestions so far it is really helping.

My name is Leah I don't consider it old fashioned. In fact it has only started to become used more often recently. I used to keep having to spell it for everyone but now I don't have to.

I really like the name Lily. I made the mistake of calling my cat Lily and now I don't know if it is inappropriate to call my future daughter after my cat?

Gracie is a nice name but does sound a bit young, I also think Grace with the nickname Gracie would be better.

I would choose Grace and Lily.

I am a red head with wild long curls so Annie could be a tricky one.

I like my name, Ilona :j
