Possible twin girl names?

sdb421

DH and I have had the hardest time with our twin girl names...we've come up with two that might work....

 The first is a definite.... Mary Catherine (after DH's grandmother) and we will call her Macy.

 Possibilities for the other....

 Elizabeth Rebekah "Libby"

Sadie Rebekah

I'm not a huge fan of Rebekah, but it is my deceased grandmother's name and it would be a nice way to honor her. Sadie is my other grandmother, but DH doesn't really like it and he decided he liked Elizabeth (it's a little too common for me, but I do like Libby)....

As a Sarah myself, I'd prefer to have names that aren't overly common, but not crazy unusual...

 Thoughts????

I think Elizabeth Rebekah is beautiful (I love Libby too). I'm not a fan of Sadie.

I'm not a huge fan of Rebekah either, but I really like the nn Becca (or Bekah with that spelling I guess). 

I think using Elizabeth and Rebekah together is a bit much though.  It doesn't flow too well.

If you're interested in a name that sounds similar to Macy you could use a "J" fn and a "C" mn and call her Jacey or Jacy.  Maybe Julia (or Julianna).  That doesn't use any of your grandmothers' names though.

How about Eli Rebekah? (just throwing something out there)

oh please don't do macy & jacey...  gag

 

 I think Elizabeth Rebekah is long, and would pick Sadie over the 2-  but I am also a firm believer in sticking with meaningful middle names and the length wouldn't be a dealbreaker.

I think Macy and Libby are adorable NNs

i love the name Macy! 

i'm not a fan of Rebekah or Elizabeth...just nms.

what if you did another "M" name like - Morgan, Madison, Mckenzie....?

I think both are great- Sadie and Libby. I slightly prefer Libby though, b/c it has a formal name as well.

Thanks girls. I do think Elizabeth Rebekah is a bit long, but DH really likes Elizabeth (and he hasn't liked many names) and I'd really like to kep Rebekah. I'm a bit concerned about having too many "Y's" with Macy and Libby, but I guess they aren't too similar....

It is a bit long, but who cares? You aren't calling her Elizabeth Rebekah every day. My parents hardly ever used my middle name. ?

I'm loving Mary Catherine and Elizabeth Rebekah. They just go together so well without being twin matchy. Sadie doesn't fit with Mary at all IMO.

I think your daughter will be unique if she goes by Libby. Most Elizabeths I know end up as Liz or Beth.

Let me start by saying I love classic, traditional names.  

I love Mary Catherine, but I do not like Macy for a NN.  Sorry, but that just ruins it for me.  I would never think to change Mary into Macy.  Sorry.

I love Elizabeth, but do think Elizabeth Rebekah is kind of long.  But do-able.  I like the use of family names for both girls so I say OK to use it.   Again, not a fan of NN - Libby.  I would chose a more traditional nn.  Sorry, just my style.

I don't like Sadie.

I like Sadie better.  If you're naming one after a grandmother why not both?
