Final Names = Done

OK, I have nailed down the final names for these girls. I was 99% sure, but I just needed to sit with them for a few days to be positive. 

Audrey Grace and Lydia Louise.

There are a few people who don't like the alliteration of LL for Lydia, and I didn't plan it that way, but now I like it.

I wanted them to each have a first name that I loved that I picked out just for them. I wanted traditional but not top 25 and with no naturally flowing nicknames.

I wanted them to have middle names with family significance. Grace and Louise were my grandmothers. They were Helen Grace and Emma Louise, but neither liked their first name and went by their middle names instead.  

Whew - I feel so much better having them nailed down. Now I can go shopping! Bring on the monogrammed dresses and ruffle-butt bloomers.

    Very pretty!  It's nice to have the names decided... I hated calling mine Baby A and Baby B or "the girl" and "the boy."  So much more personal to start referring to them by name.  :)

    Not to offend anyone lol but I think this is the first post where I completely love the names without a single negative popping into my mind. You've done fabulous. Great picks. Classic, strong, feminine, not over-used, individual.

    Thank you. I spent two years on the Baby Names Board. I definitely knew what NOT to do. LOL!

    Love them and love that you used family names for the middle names. We did the same for our twins (after H's grandparents). Great job, momma! It is so nice to be able to refer to them by their names.

    Beautiful! My sister's MN is also Louise after our grandmother. :)

    And I wouldn't even worry at all about alliteration. People put too much emphasis on MNs, IMO. No one really uses it THAT much.
