Celebrity Twin Girl Names

Celebrities are notorious for finding unique and wacky baby names. However, most of these twin names are surprisingly sweet.

Dave Matthews: Stella and Grace

George W. Bush: Jenna and Barbara

Ron Howard: Paige and Jocelyn

Loretta Lynn: Patsy and Peggy

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.

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

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?

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??

It's hard to choose twin names. I like the girl names Rosemary and Heather for twin sisters.

It is hard to find girl names, especially if you have got twin girls. The girl names Heaven & Neveah are really interesting. We expect more interesting girl names.
