Twin names?

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

I need help with finding another girl name that can go along with Emily as a twin set.
I was thinking a bit of Emily & Anna, but I dunno. Not quite feeling it.

Yes, I think Anna doesn't quite 'fit' either.

How about Emily and...
Sophia
Sara(h)/Zara(h)
Claire
a J name (Jessica, Jasmine, Jemima, Jocelyn)
Isabel(le)
Genevieve

I like Emily and Anna, but that may be due to those being 2 of my favorite names.

Ella
Emilia (probably too close to Emily)
Amelia
Hannah
Lucy
Catherine

It sounds like you like classic names, so how about:

Emily & Amelia
Emily & Lucy
Emily & Olivia
Emily & Isabel
Emily & Cate/Kate (Catherine or Katherine)
Emily & Alice
Emily & Eliza

I really like Abigail! Thanks! :)

I'm not :) Although I sort of wish I was haha.
I'm expecting a book ;) Or planning one, at least!

As a twin myself, give them names that doesn't connotate a "twin set". They are distinctly different individuals that aren't going to be introduced as "This is Emily and Anna" for the majority of their lives. Choose two names that you love, regardless of the feel together.

I find Emily bland and Anna alright. My favourite combination would be Anna Caroline.

Claire
Andrea
Elisabeth
Georgina/Georgette
Leah
Alexandra
Jane
Veronica
Caroline
Iris
Alice

I'm not exactly looking for something that screams twins. I'd never name twins anything that would be too similar, but with sibsets in general, I think they should at least sort of fit together. It's like naming one twin Jessica and the other December, just doesn't work for me.

Thanks for the suggestions though :) I like how Claire sounds with Emily.

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

I think it works when you love the name Jessica and December equally but as separate. That's also a bit extreme though. :) But if one has varied tastes, one shouldn't think about how they flow (or don't) together.

The notion of twinsets and sibsets frustrates me because you aren't accepted into university or given a job or whatnot for your sibling's influence (or at least I'd hope not!) Young Emily and Claire/Anna/whatnot are together for their childhood but once they hit high school and usually long before, they're involved in situations where their twin isn't involved/doesn't matter to the particular activity. That's why I think we should dispense with the idea of sibsets in general.

I see what you mean.

I'm the youngest of my siblings, and I showed up 7 years after my sister, so they hadn't exactly planned me. My brother and sister have first names starting with S, probably not on purpose from my parents side (my sister's name was planned before my brother was born and he's the oldest), but when I was younger I wanted a S name as well. I don't know if that's why I just like names to suit each other or what.
But they can't become to matchy either. I just think they should sound nice together, whether they're twins or not. :)
