Question:

Suggestions for naming our twins?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

We heard two precious little heartbeats last week, and now I need to start brainstorming! The babies, unknown whether they're boys/girls/one of each yet, are due in February. They will join big bro Finley John.

We love strong Irish names (such as Sullivan and Beckett for boys) along with a family name.

If we have another boy, we want his middle name to be William, after my Dad. If we have two boys, one of them may be John III after my husband and his father, but H isn't sure about that yet. If we only have one boy though we are going with William as the middle name, since our older son is already named after grandpa.

For girls, we would like to incorporate Anna, my mom's name in there somewhere, as well as Lee, my mother in law's middle name. A name that both H and I like is Avalon.

For first names we want a name with deep Celtic roots, and middle names will be (William - Boy 1, Francis - Boy 2, Anna - Girl 1, Lee - Girl 2).

Thanks in advance!
