Possible names for my twin girls, due in June:

Ivy Taylor
Violet April

(Taylor after my sister, and April after a church leader who greatly impacted my life.)
Thoughts?

It's matchy, since both are plants, but it's not so matchy that it's ridiculous. If it were, say, Lavender and Violet, I would advise against the pair, but in this case it's nice. :)

I don't care for Taylor or April, and I think pairing a color with a noun is a Bad Idea (reminds me of "Purple Rain"), but otherwise both get a thumbs up. :)

I love Ivy Taylor. Violet April I'm not so fond of (I think it's the adjective + noun issue), and I agree with others about the matchiness issue.

Ivy Taylor is quite nice, but I don't like Violet April, maybe because of the adjective and noun thing other people have mentioned. But I actually like the amount of matchiness, and I think Ivy and Violet sound cute together.

i LOVE the first names as a set but i feel like the middles names don't match with them whatsoever.

I like Ivy Taylor.
I don't like April (but since it's after someone...) and I hate Violet.

I think they're a little matchy and while I love both Violet and April, I don't like them TOGETHER.

I adore Ivy and Violet. I cannot give them enough love. I'm not huge fans of Taylor or April as names, but I am a huge fan of middle names with meaning, so that overrules it. Keep these wonderful names and don't let anyone talk you into changing them!
