Are two little girls about to come into your life? Here's a little something to help: a list of baby names for twin girls.
If you've got twins on the way, you've got quite a bit of work to do, including coming up with two baby names! Some parents simply choose two names that they like for their children. They may prefer to give their babies names that encourage individuality, since the twins inevitably will be seen as a unit at times. Other parents like to come up with names that match by using the same first letter or names with similar meanings. Others aren't looking for "matching" names, but are concerned with finding names that sound nice together.
Looking for baby names for twin girls? Here are some suggestions.
Same Letter Names. If you're going to give your twins names with the same letter, make sure the names are otherwise distinct. If you name your daughters "Emma" and "Emily," people are going to confuse them often. Also, try to chose names with similar levels of popularity. Estella may be jealous that her sister Emma can find her name on personalized pens, and Emma may be jealous that her sister isn't one of four Estellas in her class. Here are some suggestions for same-letter twin or multiple names-- both popular and unusual.
Popular/Trendy Names
Ashley, Alexis
Brianna, Brooke
Chloe, Claire
Danielle, Dakota
Ella, Emily
Gabrielle, Grace
Hailey, Hannah
Jenna, Julia
Kayla, Kendall
Lauren, Lindsay
Madison, Mackenzie
Nicole, Natalie
Riley, Rachel
Samantha, Sophia
Taylor, Trinity
Victoria, Valerie
Unusual Names
Anya, Aurora
Bridget, Brenna
Celeste, Corinne
Daria, Denae
Eden, Eliza
Fiona, Felicity
Gwendolyn, Genevieve
Harmony, Helena
Iris, Ivy
Josie, Jocelyn
Kaia, Karissa
Lydia, Liza
Mallory, Meredith
Natasha, Nikita
Pearl, Petra
Raina, Rhiannon
Shayna, Shiloh
Tegan, Trista
Willow, Waverly
Pretty Combinations. Looking for twin names that don't begin with the same letter but have a nice ring together? Here are some suggestions.
Anna, Emma
Laura, Ella
Olivia, Elizabeth
Hannah, Sarah
Lacey, Kaylee
Jessica, Melissa
Taylor, Hailey
Alexandra, Isabella
Madison, Dakota
Rachel, Charlotte
Maya, Leah
Veronica, Helena
McKenna, Kennedy
Jordan, Morgan
Danielle, Nicole
Kaitlin, Peyton
Rhyming Names. This was a popular fad in the 1950s, which saw its share of twins named Sharon/Karen and Maureen/Doreen. Is this cute, or too cute? You decide. Here are some moderns twists on this Baby Boom trend.
Kaylee, Hailey, Bailey
Kayla, Bayla, Jayla
Hannah, Anna, Brianna
Jenna, Brenna, McKenna
Chloe, Zoe
Lacey, Macy
Riley, Kylie
Madison, Addison
Miranda, Cassandra
Carina, Marina
Sarah, Kara, Tara
Tessa, Vanessa
Reagan, Megan
Kate, Tate
Alyssa, Melissa, Carissa
Elena, Dana, Raina, Shayna
Theme Names. Another option is to give your babies names with a similar theme or meaning. Try these:
Dakota, Cheyenne, Montana
London, Paris, Sydney
Hope, Faith, Grace, Joy
Trinity, Charity
Harmony, Felicity, Clarity
Amber, Crystal, Pearl, Ruby
Autumn, Summer
Popular Culture Names. This might be a little too cutesy, but if there's a TV show or movie you love, maybe you can use the names. You probably want to avoid extremely familiar choices (like Marcia, Jan, and Cindy or Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe), but here are some more hip and less common choices.
Anya, Willow, Tara, Dawn, Harmony (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Guest :
I have teenage identical twin girls Emily-Nichole Hope and Kathryn-Marie
Faith. I love that their names go together somehow (the hyphen and their
middle names) but it's not evident. I have 3 month old triplets, too,
2 girls and a boy, Aiden Thomas, Olivia Grace, and Liliana Rose. We call
the girls Lily Rose and Livvie Grace so they go together a little bit and
we love it.

im a 27 year old vet. my husband and i are having twin girls. i
like the names alice and cheryl. im actually hospitalized right
now! they have scheduled me to have and induced labor in 1 week! the twins will be over 36 weeks. they insisted on keeping them in
longer so they would gain more weight because the twins looked under
developed for sometime so this was an extra precaution. i cant wait to
be a first time mom! my husband and i have decided not to have
children after this because we always decided we woud have twins and that
would be it. so 2 weeks after i am scheduled to give birth he is
getting a vasectomy. does anyone think we made the wrong decision?
