Baby Names
Help with naming twins
Hi, I'm new to this board but have been lurking around here lately because my husband and I are having trouble deciding on names for our twins. We are expecting our twins, a baby boy and a baby girl, in mid March and have yet to come up with names. We want the names to go well with our older children's names, which are: Parker Calvin and Brooklyn Elizabeth (we use family names as middle names.) I really liked the name Jocelyn Marie for a girl, however, I realized that if we went with this name then it would sort of seem/sound matching with Brooklyn because of the -lyn ending. So now we are back to square one with no options still. Any suggestion are very much welcomed, thanks!
Family Names:
For Girls - Marie, Cecilia, Daphne, and Noelle.
For Boys - Christopher, Adrien, Luke/Lucas, and Nicholai (pronounced Nik-oh-ly)

Re: Help with naming twins
Love Noelle and Cecilia...like Celia even better.
Luke, not Lucas is my preference!
I love Jocelyn, but I can see how you might be concerned about the matchy-ness. Maybe you could call her Josie or something as a nn, and that way it wouldn't matter day to day?
Ideas for boys: Carson Luke, Easton Luke, Riley Christopher, Colton Luke, Dayton Luke, Brady Christopher, Lincoln Nicholai, Ashton Luke
Girls: Addison Daphne, Ava Noelle, Grace Marie, Avery Noelle, Sophie Marie, Aubrey Noelle, Arianna Daphne, Bailey Marie
Rachel with the middle name Cecilia sounds beautiful.
Rachel Cecilia
I love Daphne and Lucas!
This! LOVE Daphne and Lucas is nice too.
I actually don't think Jocelyn and Brooklyn are too matchy. I would stick with Jocelyn Marie, it is very pretty!
But, here are some suggestions:
Penelope Marie
Anastasia Marie
Alexandra Noelle
Yeah, I'd stir clear of Jocelyn (even though it's lovely) because of Brooklyn
Marina Daphne, Lila Noelle, Margo Cecilia, Ainsley Marie
Elliot Christopher, Sutton Lucas, Calvin Adrien, Maxwell Nicholai
I obviously love Jocelyn (see siggy) but completely see your point. We are worried about that with our next bc we really seem to like names ending in "lyn" but don't want two kids with that ending to their names either really.
Suggestions of first names that could go with your mn's:
Adeline, Cassidy, Elsie, Danica, Bria, Lilah. Ellason, Adleigh, Landry, Ayla
Bryden, Brock, Jace, Grady, Anson, Gage
Girls: Isla Noelle, Farah Cecillia, Annika Marie
Boys: Heath Nicholai, Rhys Christopher
Clara Cecilia
Brynn Cecilia
I just think Brooklyn and Brynn are cute together.
Aiden Christopher
I like Jocelyn. I don't think the matching thing is a big deal. My SILs are Gabrielle and Danielle. And they share the same MN. It never seemed odd to me.
How about Owen Christopher and Sydney Noelle/Marie?
Congratulations on your twins!
Boy suggestions - Owen, Mason, Riley, Chase, Jackson, Carson, Lincoln, Maxwell, Logan, Sebastian, Nolan, Brady, Dawson, Harrison, Connor, Wyatt, Tyler, Gavin
Girl suggestions - Grace, Sydney, Audrey, Lila, Ella, Gabrielle, Chloe, Anna, Savannah, Olivia, Madeline, Avery, Natalie, Emma, Delaney, Alyssa, Claire, Gwenyth, Caroline
My favorite pair is: Maxwell Christopher (Max) & Audrey Noelle
Another pair I really like: Jackson Luke (Jack) & Lila Marie
