in Baby Names
We were told we were having b/g twins at our 17 week scan. Today it was determined beyond all reasonable doubt we are having two girls! I am beyond thrilled, but now I need a new name 
I wrote on here awhile back asking for help due to the fact my husband I wouldn't bend on our names. We are back to the drawing board. I no longer like my original name choices. We will be keeping Kendall Jane. Tell me if this is ridiculous...for some reason it just popped into my head, but I was thinking of the name Lila Grey. I am an archaeologist and also have a bachelors in History (Old English). Therefore, I love old names; my husband does not. Luckily I got away with Jane as a middle name. Grey popped into my head after Lady Jane Grey who was thought to be one of the most well educated women of her time... I thought it kind of connects the two girls....Does it sound super weird ? Please give your honest opinion.

Re: 17 week scan was wrong need a new name
Kendall Jane and Lila Grey, huh...hmmm....
Kendall goes with Grey and Lila goes with Jane. So I guess they work! However, Lila and Jane are very feminine girl names and Kendall and Grey are both more masculine names.
I think they work, but I would probably much rather two femine first names with the more masculine middle names...but they do work.

Agree with all of this. Of course, I am a little biased on the name Lila(h), but I do love it paired with Grey!

I love Lila Grey!! I also love Jane. Kendall is NMS.
I LOVE Lila Grey! I also love the connection of the middle names.
Kendall is NMS though, sorry!

Both names sound really nice but Grey is nms. Gray/grey sounds so gloomy to me.
This!
I completely agree! The name Kendall to me sounds like that was the twin you thought was going to be a boy and just kept the name the same. So I agree that Jane and Lila sounds more feminine.
I think your choices are lovely, I also love old names. Lila Jane Grey sounds very elegant to me. I don't think there is anything weird about it. I like the name Jane also it is at the root of my name (Sheena). I think a lot of people are always trying to come up with new unique modern names and the classics are being left behind. Joan is also a beautiful alternative to Jane.
