Twin girl names - revisited

Hunter22Hunter22 member
in Baby Names
Hi Ladies! I previously posted that my husband and I had decided on two names - Ainsley (his choice) and Brynn (mine). I've since changed my mind and really like the name Corinne. I think it's a recognizable name that isn't overused. So I have been trying to get my husband to consider other names. He's come up with Shea, Sloane, Sydney, Whitley, Regan, Reese, Kendall and Carys. He realky likes the Celtic names and our last name is an Irish name starting with D. I really think Carys and Corrine would be cute. What do you ladies think. FYI our son's name is Colin so it may be too many C's. Thanks!

    I like Carys and Corinne so much more than Ainsley and Brynn. However, all those C's really bug me. It's just a personal preference, but I really dislike matchy sibling names. Here are some other suggestions to go with Colin:

    Bridget & Moira 

    Maeve & Fiona 

    Deirdre & Sabrina 

    Others: Imogen, Anna, Isolde, Mina, Muriel, Neala, Saoirse, Siobhan

    I've been seeing Corrine a lot lately, and whenever I see it I see "Connie" which was my Nana's name and I've been searching for a name to honor her. Might be a name to add to my list as well.

    Carys and Corinne are really pretty.

     

    Normally, all C's wouldn't be for me. But if you already have a Colin, and one of them is going to be Corinne, I would HAVE to have the other one a C name. OCD tops themes lol.

    Oh my gosh that's gorgoeus! Carys and Corinne!!! A very Celtic sibling set! I dislike Ainsley and Brynn and there's really nothing special about either name. Carys and Corinne, now... that's a set of names! Gorgeous! I love it very much!!! It would be a shame if you moved on from this sibset. I love it!!! YesBig Smile

    ETA: The Cs do not bother me.

    Ditto this.  Corinne has a negative connotation for me, but it's still a beautiful name.

    I like Corinne and Carys best of all the names you listed, but really, really hate siblings with the same first initial.  It's just too much for me.

    I love Carys and Corrine, but not a real big fan of all the kids having the same letter.  However if you're set on Corrine, your other child may wonder why they did not get a C name.  I like your husband's style though. I love Shea, Sloane, Reese, and Carys.  

    How that I have been saying your son's name out loud with Corrine, I think the other girl has to be a C, it just doesnt sound right without it.  LOVE CARYS THOUGH!

    Fabulous choices! Much better than Ainsley and Brynn.

    I like twin sets with the same first letter, but not matching in sound.  You nailed it!

    I'm not a fan of using the same letter for siblings.  But I really do like Carys and Corinne and they don't seem too matchy so I think it works!

    Top - that's what I was thinking too. If I can't get him away from Ainsley it will be strange - Ainsley, Corrine and Colin. Hmm.

     Bottom - Now you see my issue! My siblings and I all have similar sounding names and it never really was an issue though.

     Thanks ladies, I feel like we are getting there!!!!
