Names for Twin Girls

[3or4monsters.livejournal.com]

My husband and I have agreed that we both like Claire, last name Ingram. Middle name undecided. That can come later, after we've settled on a good sounding name for her sister. We'd also like to pick a backup 3rd and 4rth name, in the event that we meet the babies and neither of them strike us as a "Claire".

We are trying to find names that sound good together when calling both girls, but are not too similar or rhyme. I am REALLY not a fan of rhyming names for my twins---as a twin myself, it made me feel like less of an individual, like I was part of a set, like bookends. It also sucks as a kid when someone call you the wrong name because they sound too similar, and when you correct them, they just wave their hand and say, "Whatever" like your name or who you are does not matter. And it happened ALL the time---I barely notice it now, but it hurt my feelings a lot when I was little. And people keep suggesting rhyming or really similar names to me for my girls! Hahaha, no. I've just been telling everybody that I'm naming them MONSTER TRUCK and NASCAR and we're not sharing the truth until the birth certificates are signed.

SO! On to the names. :)
