Twin names

bearfootz

Obviously we don't know what we're having yet, and we really don't have a preference either way, but since we already have one boy's name picked out I'd like to pin down a girl's name. Let me know what you think.[Poll]

I like all the names, but when I hear Colin and Leah, I automatically think of J&k+8.  IDKW.  

But I think my fav is Charlotte.

That's my biggest fear about that duo. In fact I think that's why DH isn't set on Leah (he picked Colin)

I know the survey said Caitlin was the winner, but I feel like Colin and Caitlin are a little too matchy matchy. I voted for Charlotte, because you have the Cs in common, and Colin and Charlotte seem to sound nice together.

?

Edited to add: Colin and Molly could work too. They both have that "all" sound in them. Im not sure if thats good or bad, but I think it's good.?

I picked Charlotte!

*Scuzzlebutt*

I voted for Charlotte.

"Colin & Leah" makes me think of The Gosselin sextuplets.

 I really like the name Leah and almost went with it until I remember J&K+8, lol.  I like Charlotte the most as well.

I love them all, but voted for Elizabeth. Great names

i like Molly.  i am not big on the double letter for twins.  Molly is such a cute name.

Caitlin and Colin are too much of a twin set, IMO (although I'm glad to see you spelled Caitlin that way).

I think both Charlotte and Molly would be cute with Colin, but ultimately I voted for Molly b/c of the similarity in the "all" sound.

I think they're all really nice options.  I voted for Caitlin, which I don't think is too matchy with Colin, since the vowel sounds are so different.  I think they "go" with each other, but they don't sound terribly cutesy to me.  The only one I don't really like is Molly, because "Colin and Molly" sounds like the band, Flogging Molly, to me (weird association, I know).  I didn't know about the J&K+8 names--I've never watched their show.  But I would probably avoid Colin and Leah if it reminds so many people of them.

Ditto to pp. Love love love Charlotte. It goes great with Colin too.

I think my favorites are Charlotte and Molly.  The other names are cute, too.  Although I wouldn't go with Colin and Caitlyn b/c it's too matchy for my personal taste. 

Be warned - on the Multiples board there are a few Charlottes and they always seem to be the more difficult baby for whatever reason (including my own). It's sort of a joke on there.  My Charlotte did end up being a great toddler, though.

oooh, i love all of these names!

I like Leah a lot and while you can't get away from the JK+8 comparison, it's just a momentary tv trend that will pass in time: so if YOU like it, go for it. 

I normally like the name Molly (super cute) but with Colin I keep thinking of the word "mollycoddled". 

Charlotte is also nice, but for twins I really like to make them distinct - like no rhyming or matching letters.

Elizabeth is very classic.

I prefer Elizabeth.

i voted leah b/c that's my dd's name and i love it.  i think the j&k reference might seem weird for now but in a few years no one will think of that connection.  we really like cara if we have a 2nd girl and joel if we have a boy someday and those are 2 j&k names too. it won't stop us from using them.

Emily and Martin

Ditto. Our baby girl will be Leah and I love that name. We had picked Collin for a boy. I didn't realize the j&k connection until my sister pointed it out, but Collin is still at the top of our "next time" list. In a few years no one will care.

Thanks ladies.

I'm not trying to do any matching for twins, but thinking in terms of how sibling names go together. I think most people think of that right? Like these are my children 'blank and blank'.

Hmm, not everyone even knows Jon & Kate, right? And like pp's said, it will be forgotten in a few years.

Love Leah! GL:)

Charlotte would go well but I LOVE the name Molly
