Twin names: official and nicknames

8 replies

EsméeGuest ·
We're pregnant with a girl twin.
We already have a daughter, Jaclyn, whom we call Jackie.
We'd like them to have a 'passport name' and a nickname, just like with Jackie.
We'd already thought of one nickname: Lizzy or Lily, but can't really think of a passport name for them besides Elizabeth and Eliza, and for Lily I can't think of anything at all.
But we both don't like those names.

So my questions are:
Lily or Lizzy
do you know another name for Lily or Lizzy and Charlie (not together)
an official name for Lily or Lizzy.

    Lilith (Lily)
    Lilou (Lily)
    Elize (Lizzy)
    Charlotte (Charlie)

    Other ideas:
    Rosalynn (Rose, Roos, Rosa)
    Marilynn (Marly)
    Olivia (Liv, Liva, Livia)
    Salomé/Samantha (Sammie)
    Isabella (Isa, Isabel, Bella)
    Annelou/Milou/Philou/Lilou (Lou)
    Felicia (Fee/Faye/Fay)

    For the last one, do you still know a name for Lily or Lizzy, and Charlie? Charlie has to be Jackie.... I got her mixed up with my niece who's here at the moment, haha.
    Sorry for the confusion.

    Thanks so much, Emily!
    Unfortunately, a good friend’s daughter is already named Olivia, so Jackie couldn’t have been Olivia...
    Salomé (Sammy/Sammie) is an option, but the dog of that same good friend is also called Sammie, which might sound a bit weird... so that one’s probably out too.
    Isabella (Bella) definitely has a chance!

    Do you maybe have any other options for an official name for Fay? I think it’s a really beautiful name, but honestly, I don’t like Felicia that much.

    Maybe Feline/Fayline, Faylin, Febe for Fay.

    Lily: Lilianne, Liliana
    Lizzy: Charlize
    Fay: Faydora

    We both think Liliana and Charlize are really beautiful names! They definitely have a chance.

    I know a girl named Lilith with the nickname Lilly. I thought that sounded really nice. For Lizzy, you could maybe choose Lizelot as the official name.
    Elizabeth and Eliza are beautiful names, but I do find it a bit of a downside that those names start with a different letter.
