Help!!! need name advice

my husband and i have just found out that we are expecting twins. we are so excited to hear this. not least because this will be our second set of twins we couldn't believe it when the doctor told us. i guess a little more than we had reconned with but we've done it before so at least we're a little prepared.
anyway, we don't know whether they are boys, or girls or a boy and girl, and are not sure if we want to find out before they are born. so we need help whittling down the list of names we have so far. please tell me which ones you like and honestly, don't be afraid to tell me which ones you hate it's an important decision after all. also i'd be happy to hear which first and middle name combinations you like and which combination you like for twins, ie which ones go well together.
thanks so much for your help.

also, i am not at all opposed to unusual names, but i don't know that many. am happy for any recommendations.

our two bundles of joy will be joining their siblings:
Dylan Lennon (7 years old)
Caitlin Everly (Catie - family tradition, various forms of Catherine etc, Catie is 5 1/2)
Jamie Holly (4)
Jude Patrick (4)
Elliot Michael (we call him Eli- pronounced Eeeli, he is 2 years old)

boys names we are considering:
Ezra
Levi
Joel
McKenzie
Sean
Wilde (i love Oscar wilde but would probably only use this as a middle name)
Darcy
Liam
Leo
Ellis
Henry (or Harry)
Devon
Seamus
Finley
Jaden

girls names we are considering:
Ella
Rebecca
Michelle
Eilidh (rhymes with Hailey, Bailey etc)
Jolie
Layla
Madeleine
Hannah
Molly
Joyce (Joy for short)
Sophia
Ciara


thanks for any help/suggestions/advice you can give us look forward to your reply

My opinion

for the boys names:

Ezra - sounds like a girls name
Levi - too chavy
Joel - nice
McKenzie - ok
Sean- too common
Wilde (i love Oscar wilde but would probably only use this as a middle name) - nice as a middle name.
Darcy - love it!!!
Liam - nice
Leo - nice
Ellis - sounds a bit girly
Henry (or Harry) - both are really nice and would be nice twin names
Devon - like it
Seamus - sounds a bit too much like semen or a sea man!! lol
Finley - love it!!
Jaden - Love it!!

Others i like are: Kade, Connor, Jackson, mason, Miles and Nathanial

For the girls names:

Ella - beautiful
Rebecca - nice but there are loads of Rebeccas around.
Michelle - same as above
Eilidh (rhymes with Hailey, Bailey etc) - might confuse people too much, noone will ever know how to pronounse the neame when the go somewhere new, doctors etc??
Jolie - nice
Layla - nice
Madeleine - love it!! or maddisson?? either way could be shortened to Maddy which is lovely.
Hannah - nice but what bout Savannah?? simular but with a modern twist
Molly - lovely
Joyce (Joy for short) - bit of an older persons name
Sophia - very pretty
Ciara - how is this pronounced?? again people may not know how to pronounce and the child will be forever correcting people.

Other suggestions- Ava, Erin, Faye, Isabelle, Scarlett, Lila, Ruby or Amber.

hope any of this helps x and of course its only my own opinion.
Congratulations, you will have your hands full x


Gratz!!

i'm 5 months pregnant and had chosen layla for a girl, liam for a boy soooo there they are, and in case of same sex twins for you, i also like jaden, sean, for girls, out of your list...maybe michelle? not sure though. but it's your choice in the end!!
