Twin naming advice

gigi7147 posted:

We don't know for sure yet, but we suspect that we are going to have twin girls based on our last ultrasound. So far the one girl name we like is heavy on the L sound and our 2 year old girl also has an L in her name. Now for the second twin name, so far a lot of the ones I like don't start with an L, but do contain an L and I'm worried about having all of our girls be too matchy, especially the twins. What do you all think about matchy twin names? Ours wouldn't rhyme or start with the same letter, but when you say them all together it might sound a little redundant or one-note. On the other hand, I also want sibling names that at least go together. Any advice?

The best advice i can give you is not to worry about what anyone else thinks of the names. You are the one who will be calling them by name everyday.

I didn't want my girls' names to start with the same letter but that is what happened am i'm happy with their names, they just seem right. It is really neat because my husband picked out one of the names and i picked the other. They were the only two names we could come up with that we both liked.
