I like the earlier suggestion of Lily and Lucy.

Still cute and matchy matchy, but not as similar as Lily and Lila.

I just have visions of a lifetime of trying to yell at, correct and argue with twin girls whose names sound exactly the same.

Try it yourself OP, yell the names quickly and see what happens.

Let me guess...

Mom is a country music fan; dad likes football.

BTW I live in the south and both names are VERY popular here.


Bless you.


Didn't say I was a fan. Actually, I like Peyton. I know a Paisley and Presley, and a Presley and Peyton, and a Peyton and Parker. You'd fit in great here in East Texas. I prefer older names, but they are your kids. Not mine.

The only thing we are definitely still firm on is keeping the same first initial for both babies' names (despite all of the posters who feel it's too "matchy".) What about these names?

Lily and Lila (no real reason; just like the way they sound together)

Madison and Michaela (my father's name is Michael)

Siobhan and Simone (we are of Irish descent)


Match their personalities at a few hours old? Ok here's two: sleepy and drowsy

These are definitely better, OP. I like Lily and Lila but agree with others that they're a bit too close. Lucy or Leah would be great substitutes for one or the other. Madison and Michaela aren't my style but it's nice that they have a family connection. I would avoid using Siobhan, if for no other reason than the pronunciation issues. Your daughter will spend her whole life correcting people, which can get tiresome. I love the combo of Cecily and Simone, but if you're dead set on the same first initial, what about Scarlett or Susannah and Simone?

Newborns don't really have personalities by the time you need to leave the hospital and fill out the name paperwork so keep trying things now.

Morgan & Meghan

Claire & Chloe

Emily & Elizabeth

Allison & Ashley
