A reader named Eva is expecting twin girls and would like some help naming them. She says:
One of the twins should have a unisex first name and a very girly middle name. For the second twin we want a girly first name and unisex middle name.
Here are the names Eva likes so far:
- Unisex: Avery, Harper, Morgan, Kennedy, Madison
- Feminine: Anastasia, Michaela, Caroline, Sofia, Kristina
Her husband is only on board with Avery, Caroline, Kristina and Michaela (he prefers the spelling Makayla).
The twins will have an older brother named Thomas Aiden (nn Tommy) and their surname will be similar to Damon.
Eva’s criteria reminded me of the twins named Charlotte and Dylan I wrote about a few years ago. I think the name Charlotte is a good option in this case, but Dylan plus that surname might be D/N-overload. Here are some other possibilities:
| Feminine names | Unisex names |
| Adeline Amelia Anne/Annie Bethany Camille Cassandra Cecilia Cynthia Esmé Fiona Gemma Genevieve Hannah Helena Julia Lydia Lucy Maria Melanie Melissa Monica Nicole Olivia Phoebe Rose Samantha Sarah Tabitha Theresa Victoria | Addison Ainsley Alexis Bailey Cameron Casey Cassidy Emery Finley Harley Jamie Jordan Kendall Leigh Paige Parker Piper Quinn Reagan Reese Riley Rowan Sage Shea Sidney Skylar Tatum Taylor Teagan Willow |
Which of the above names do you like best for Tommy’s sisters? What combinations (either unisex+feminine or feminine+unisex) sound best together, do you think?
Here are a few combinations I like, just to kick things off:
- Unisex+Feminine: Avery Helena, Cameron Nicole, Riley Caroline
- Feminine+Unisex: Amelia Quinn, Olivia Willow, Victoria Leigh
