Twin Girl Name Help

LegalLadyBug

Hi ladies! I am expecting twin girls in May, so I still have some time, but I am having a hard time with names. DH and I and even MIL really like the name Nora. I feel like it's a nn for a longer name though and nobody likes the longer names I come up with. I'm also worried it's too short to be a good sibset with our DD, Olivia. Also, I am drawing a blank on a name for the other twin. So...feelings on the name Nora? Other suggestions for names that might make a good sibset with Olivia? Thanks so much for all your help! :-)

Nora gets a lot of love here.  I think it's a nice name, but a little meh.

I am assuming you have already suggested Eleanor as a possible longer name?

The Olivias I know (4 of them) have siblings named Lily, Ava, Mia, Ella, and Addison.

If you want names a little more off the beaten path:

Laurel and Fiona

Cora and Elise

Gemma and Colette

Willa and Zara

Tessa and Corinne

I prefer Elinor/Elenor with the nn Norah. Possible sib names: Natalie, Lorelei, Isabel, Bree, Violet, Jocelyn, or Diana

I don't like Nora. Too short and bland. If you were to use it as NN for, say, Eleonora than I'd say go for it. With Olivia I'd pair Mathilda and Dorothy.

I like Eleanor with Nora for a nn but DH isn't a fan. Thanks for all the suggestions ladies!

Please for the love of all things that sparkle, don't make them have matching names that start with the same letter. SO cheesy.

I don't care for Nora. I like the suggestions vof Matilda and Bridget. Or

Sonia & Daphne
Greta & Darcy
Viola & Leta
Anna & Paige

I think Nora and Olivia are lovely together and Nora doesn't seem that much shorter than Olivia. 

I think Nora, Olivia, and Abigail sound really nice together.

I like Nora!

I think Nora stands on its own as a name and it's very pretty. I'm stealing a sib name from a pretty active Bumpie who's also a S12er. Her DDs are Nora and Tessa and I think they go wonderfully together. Good Luck!

Great suggestions! My niece is named Zara and my dream future DD name is Willa ( but won't happen because of a Will in the immediate fam).
