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.

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
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 some names that I think could work with Maeve:
I am currently pregnant with my first baby. We do not know whether a boy or girl yet, but we are brainstorming names. I love the girl’s name Tatum, but my best friend’s daughter has that name. Can you think of any similar girl’s names I might like?
I get this question every once in a while — probably because Tatum is such an idiosyncratic name.
Sloane has always been my default answer. But it only works for non-UK babies, thanks to the Sloane Rangers.

Ainsley Astrid Beatrix Blair Blythe Bryony Cleo Darcy
Deirdre Hazel Imogen Kendall Maeve Meredith Miriam Morgan
Piper Quinn Reese Rory Rowena Sybil Tamar Tanith
