Middle names for Ruby and Lily

I am expecting twin girls. We've decided on Ruby and Lily for first names, but have no idea on middle names! Maybe something quite long. Sibling's names are Luca Alistair, Isla Elspeth, Finn Matthew & Zach Francis, so they must go with them.

I think whatever you choose, they should both have the same one. Wouldn't that be so cool?
You obviously like the exotic, so how about Star? Chase?
Or...
Ruby scarlett
Lily blanca
(see what I did there)
Or cross over the scarlett/blanca, so they are each called the other's names as well...

Definitely not both the same middle name! That would be awful, twins are not just a cute pair, they do have the own identity too you know!

Thanks. I like Eleanor and Francesca. I also like Florence and Scarlett, but I can't use them because they're my sisters' middle names. I prefer quite old-fashioned middle names though

If you have 2 sisters, why not give each twin a middle name after each sister?

No, I have 7 sisters! Although, my triplet sisters are called Anastasia and Esmabella, so that could be quite cute. Ruby Esmabella and Lily Anastasia?

Lovely names. How about Ruby Elizabeth and Lily Charlotte?

Report
EvangelineGracelyn · 19/10/2013 19:55

Not so keen on Charlotte and I'm starting to think that Elizabeth is too much like Elspeth

I like Ruby Isadora.

The short I sound in Lily is the same as the one in Isadora and I think there's too little variety in the vowel sounds of Lily Isadora.
