Celebrity Twin Girl Names

George W. Bush: Jenna and Barbara

Ron Howard: Paige and Jocelyn

Twin Girl Themes

Many parents choose a theme when naming their twin girls. Some popular themes include names that start with the same letter, like Addison & Ally or Harlow & Harper. You can also pick names that rhyme, such as Mia & Nia or Emma & Gemma.

One cool trend among twin girl names is picking two virtue names, such as Faith & Hope or Grace & Justice. Some pictures stick with the same type of name, such as seasonal names (Autumn & Spring) or destination names (Brooklyn & London).

It is interesting to note one set of twin names of the top 50 list has one reversed – Heaven & Neveah.

My twin girl names are Shelby and Finley. They are family names. One from each of our grandfathers. My husband and I didn't disagree one on this. It will be when/if we have a boy, that we will have a problem.

I like twin girl names Haven Bryony and Hayden Bloomeria. There uni names with flowers as there middle names, adding a little girlyness to them. Super cute unique names, which i love! I also like the twin (boy and girl)names Evelyn and Ethan:)

Greek girl July 09, 2012 | 8:03 PM

I think the names Ava and Annie would be cute

Erica June 25, 2012 | 12:49 PM

I am a twin and I have a brother. My mom thought it would be unique to name us Eric And Erica. We also have close middle names. I have never minded it and actually enjoyed it throught the years. There is nothing better than being a twin especially having one that you don't have to share your clothes with:)

Emily June 14, 2012 | 7:17 AM

I love the name Emma!! The names Emma & Leah together just sound pretty to me(: What else could go with Emma?

I have twins. Two sets. One boy and girl. One boy and boy. The two boys are Harry and Henry. The boy and girl set is Leslie and Leo. I've always wished for a set of girls but four is plenty for me! :D

Liz March 20, 2012 | 1:25 PM

Naming twins are so much work!!! I am thinking about the names Megan and Morgan. I also really like the names Ella and Abby or Ella and Emma. Please reply on which you like best. Oh yeah I also really like the name Nevaeh, but what good name goes with that?

Nicole December 27, 2011 | 4:25 PM

I am currently pregnant with twins. I do not know if they are girls or boys. I love the theme names (Scarlett and Ruby, Pearl and June, Autumn and Summer) and also the same letter (Karter and Kale, Charlotte and Chelsea, Kiley and Kamryn). I LOVE boy names for girls as well as names that are not traditional, but not crazy either, lol. We are not finding out what the babies are so we have to pick out 3 sets of names. So far we decided on Elijah and Emersyn (boy/girl), and no clue for the others. What are your favorite names??

Shylerr41198(: December 10, 2011 | 11:54 AM
