Names for Twins

BookWorm11BookWorm11
in Baby Names

Hi all!

DH and I are expecting twins (most likely identical) and picked out the following as our favorites, we're trying to avoid matchy names. 

Girls:

Celia Lorraine (MN is my mom's name)

Holland Catherine (MN is MIL's name)

 

Boys:

Malcolm Dale (MN is late FIL's MN)

Isaac Jeffrey (MN is my dad's name)

 

Thoughts on whether these "flow" nicely?  Would the girls names sound better if the MN's were switched? TIA for any input :0)

    Love your boy names. Your girl names are okay. I don't really see the draw to a 'place' name like Holland, etc.

    I like your boy names and Celia Lorraine (love Lorraine as a mn). Holland and Celia sound odd paired together to me- Celia is classic and Holland falls in the modern trendy/androgynous/place name category for me. I know you don't want matchy but they are

    I love the middle names, and I love that you're naming them after grandparents. 

    Celia is one of my personal favorites.  I don't think Celia and Holland sound like sister names at all -- they are such different styles.  I get that

    I like all the FN's a lot! I personally would switch the MN's for both the boys and the girls.

    Not a fan of Holland. I think Celia is far better. The boy names are fine and I like all the MNs.

    Celia Lorraine is beautiful.

    Holland is NMS and doesn't fit well with Celia imo. Catherine is great (I used Katherine as a middle name from my mom)

    Malcolm Dale is nice.

    Issac Jeffrey is fine as well.

    I like everything but Holland. Celia is so pretty and feminine, I would want something in the same style for her twin sister.
