    I love your name list. My favorites with Jackson are: Lucy, Cora, Madelyn and Olivia. 
    I've never heard of Nola and Ellie feels to nn for me. I also think there are lots of little girls nn ellie if that bothers you at all? My daughter is Elaina and we call her Ellie sometimes.

    I like Celia from your list. Adding: Cecily

    ETA: Nola makes me think of New Orleans, Louisiana. (NOLa)

    My favorites are Cora, Fiona, and Lucy.  But I think Ellie and Madelyn sound more like twins with Jackson

    Nola - makes me think of New Orleans. 
    Madelyn - this goes with Jackson best for me because of also ending with an "n"
    Ellie - great nickname. Don't like as a full name
    Fiona - love it, unless you/your kids will think if shrek. 
    Olivia - #2 or #3 in popularity, which is reason for me to exclude it. But Jackson is also super popular so this may not matter to you. 
    Cora - love this. Especially after downton abbey
    Lucy - meh 
    Celia - I would prefer the longer version if Cecelia instead 
    Eloise - love this. Will there be pronunciation issues where you live? 
    Nora - like it. But like others more.

    I really like a lot of names on your list. Ellie seems more like a nickname than a stand-alone name, but it is pretty. Fiona, Olivia, Cora and Celia are all good names but not necessarily my favorites. I love Nora, Eloise, Lucy and Madeline (or Madeleine) but not a fan of Madelyn. 

    Overall, I think any name from your list would work!

    I like Eloise and you could use nn Ellie if you wanted.


    I think Jack and Eloise (Ellie) or Jack and Olivia sound best together.

    Nola - nice, but you have better names on the list.  See Nora at bottom.

    Madelyn - I would spell it "Madeline."  Pairs well with Jackson. However, if you're looking to be original, these names are very popular where I live, and it seems that every future soccer mom loves these names.  Very suburban.

    Ellie -- Love as a nn for Eleanor.  Pairs well with Jackson.  I'd say this is in my top 3.

    Fiona  -- If you pair this with Jackson, it will seem like you're trying very hard to be cool.

    Olivia  -- Similar to Madelyn/Madeline.  

    Cora -- A good, under-utilized name.  In the top 3.

    Lucy -- Like it, but would use as a nn for Lucille.

    Celia -- Again, would use as a nn for Cecelia.  If you went with Cecelia, it would be in the top 3.  Celia seems like half a name, which puts it out of sync with Jackson.

    Eloise -- Nope.  When I hear this, I think "cow."  Maybe I had a book with a cow named Eloise when I was a kid?

    Nora -- Another top 3 finisher.  Nice, but I'd put it behind Cora, actually.

    Congrats on your twins!  You have a solid list of girl names, and even though I mildly criticized some of them, you can't really go wrong with anything on this list!  In the grand scheme, these are great name choices.

    Olivia.  I'm not a fan of the other names.
