Help with baby girls names

mrbrightside842

Go for any names you want, they won't sound right together to start with, but they will pretty quickly, once you get used to using them. Be warned that schools are full of Graces at the moment, along with Olivia, Ellie, Ella, Evie, Abbie etc. All nice names, but something to be aware of.

One of my ID twin girls has a name which I do sometimes have the worry that a previous poster said about her being a 40 year old, but a lot of the kids now have unusual names so when they're all 40 then it's not gonna be a problem, and it suits her! We were looking at 'colours' or flowers for middle names, I loved Violet but didn't like any other colours or flowers and would have just been choosing them because they were a colour/flower and not because I loved them, so one got Violet and the other got a different name which I loved.

That is exactly it. We feel Gracie is a very traditional/old fashioned name and were looking for a 2nd one. Thank you for the above suggestions. Definately ones to add to the list.

I take on board peoples suggestions about maybe using Grace and having Gracie as a nickname. Naming a baby is a big responsibility isn't it.
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.

I love the name Leah, also Olivia (but its getting very common now), Heather, and Lily.

Lots of lovely suggestions. My DD's both have unsusual but very simple names which often get positive comments but despite their simple spelling they both get really odd variations of complicated spelling when receiving Christmas cards, etc, especially from school;) Another thing to consider OP is how the names sound with your surname;) Congratulations on the twin pregnancy!

I think I feel pretty sure about what the girls names could be. Going to suggest them to dh when he gets home in about an hour and see what he thinks. Will let you know. Thanks so much for all the lovely suggestions and advice

Fair enough. Gracie brings up images of an old bird singing cockerney songs whilst flashing her knickers by the old upright piano at the 'Rat an' Parrat'. I can think of 3 Grace/Gracies within the space of 10 flats in one block on the estate where I used to live, and none of them give the slightest suggestion of Grace Kelly about them.


But the OP loves it, so I tried to give some suggestions that might go. After all, even you say Ava would be fine if you didn't have a Grace with her




Common common common names on the estate I escaped last year:

Grace
Caitlin
Olivia
Rebecca
Emily
Kiera
Lily
Poppy
Chloe
Mia
Tia
Paige
Jodie
Kayleigh/Kayley
Rebecca
Ashleigh
Lauren
Molly
Milly
Bethany
Brooke
Georgia
Jade




Mine haven't got posh names either - but their middle names are linked - Hazel and Rose. Both from the natural world, but not two halves of a whole.
