girl name help, please!

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

my best friend is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. she and her fiance have decided that the boy will be named Tristan Wayne (Wayne is a family name on his side). they are having trouble deciding on a girl's name, though. he's vetoed all of her suggestions so far for various reasons -- Kristin because he thinks it's stupid to give kids rhyming names, especially twins (but I would have talked her out of it if he hadnt), Crystal because it's an ex-girlfriend's name, and both Claire and Emma because he has nieces with those names.

so I'm asking for suggestions for a girl's name that would go well with Tristan. please don't suggest anything starting with an 'L', because it would sound absolutely awful with their last name. also, they're thinking her middle name will be Rose, which is her grandmother's middle name, but that isn't set in stone. thanks!

ooh, Charlotte is really cute :) I'll have to pass that one on!

I was going to suggest Isabelle Rose, too. I think Isabelle sounds like the same kind of regal-ness as Tristan, without being over the top.

congrats on the twins!

all three of those are seriously cute, and I'll make sure she hears them :) thanks!

Do they want a rhyming name? Something with the same first letter, same ending sound? That would help:)

I said in the original post that the father has vetoed all rhyming names, thankfully!
as for the same first letter, I don't think they would have any problems with that. it's just the lack of T-names, minus Tabitha and Tessa, really. (and while I don't know how she feels about Tabitha, I DO know that Tess/Tessa is a no-no. lol.)

I totally missed that entire sentence, lol!

Juliet
Isis
Abigail

If they had a girl namesake as a middle name that would be cool.

Sorry, but as no one has said it - Isolde. I guess if they don't want rhyming names, they don't want literary matchy names, but I love the names Tristan and Isolde in their own rights and the medieval love story is a bonus.

haha I was wondering whether to suggest that! But I think it's too matchy in real life...

Naming siblings after a famous romance strikes me as pretty creepy. The first name I thought of was Isolde as well, but then it made my skin crawl, lol.

True that - siblings should not be named after lovers!
