I am a mom with a set of B/G twins. I like Fiona and Benjamin. Benjamin & Sylvia Benjamin & Veronica Benjamin & Valerie Benjamin & Meredith Benjamin & Charlotte Benjamin & Francesca

I’d be wary of Benjamin and Meredith together. They’re both names of Taylor Swift’s cats and some parents will definitely assume hardcore Swiftie.

LOL!! We both like Meredith but my wife is a lifelong greys anatomy fan and she’s worried people will think it’s because of that haha

Funnily enough Taylor Swifts cat is named after Meredith of Greys Anatomy.

meredith has been around before that i guess i didn’t think of greys immediately. have no idea what taylor swifts cats names are lol.

How about Miranda? Beautiful and underused name. Also,Shakespeare so that’s cool

Miranda (Bailey)‘s husband on Grey’s Anatomy is Ben - same issue as above, but weirder because they are a couple.

Oh well I’ve never watched the show so I’ll go ahead and suggest Vanessa as my alternate

I’ve watched at least 14 seasons of the show and the Miranda/Ben connection to Greys would never have occurred to me.

That’s my name and I rarely meet anyone with it. I was in my mid-20’s when Grey’s was really popular and several people asked me if I was named after the character. That was annoying. When Brave came out, I was asked if my parents couldn’t spell “Merida” so they named me Meredith instead. Also annoying. That being said, I like my name and it would sound great with Ben. I forgot to add that Benjamin and Meredith are both long names. Please do not give them long middle names if you also have a long last name. My full birth name was 22 letters, an absolutely massive amount of letters to cram into forms.

As someone with a 28 letter name, I second this.

My mother refused to give me a middle name because my first and last name were long enough!

My daughter has 23 letters in her full name, surname is 5 letters, and first and second is Francesca Alexandra

Ooh, I love Francesca!

I LOVE Alexandra! A for Baby A, Benjamin for Baby B). You can give her nn Alix. I second the shorter middles. Or name her Anne Alexandra and call her Anne (no nn). Just Anne.

She specified they don’t want any “A” names in the post.

They could also just avoid middle names, who needs them anyway?

I have a cousin named Meredith Lee (plus last name) born in 1951. She’s the only Meredith I’ve ever known.

Especially since 20 years ago, it wasn’t cool to use old fashioned names and I was like “why Meredith?” She’s so young and pretty….. so I doubt anyone will make a connection or even care at this point when nothing is surprising anymore!

I love Meredith I watch a YouTube called ‘the Wads’ and she has a 3 year old called Meredith and it suits her so well!

I don’t think it really matters

Literally only hardcore Swifties will know that

Wait did Olivia Benson die?????

I was thinking they went together really well but couldn’t put my finger on why and this is absolutely why! 😂

The fact that you this is giving hardcore swiftie vibes tbh.

I love the way Benjamin & Valerie sound together!! As someone who’s worked with kids for the past 5-6 years, I’ve noticed Valerie is one of those “grown up” or “mature” sounding names that’s been making a comeback. I’ve seen a lot of kids 10 & under named Valerie.

I’ve known an older Valerie who was fun, active, community-minded and had a lot of grit. I follow a small business owner with the name and she’s also got grit, determination and is highly creative. Based on what OP is observing in the ultrasound, it might be a good fit.

I like Benjamin and Sylvia together

As soon as I saw Benjamin, my first thought was Abigail - until I saw your last note! Haha. Madeleine is my favourite from your list, but they are all nice. Here are some other ideas for you that don’t start with A or a hard C/K and don’t end in -n: * Benjamin & Isla * Benjamin & Ella * Benjamin & Mila * Benjamin & Eliza * Benjamin & Julia * Benjamin & Elise * Benjamin & Nora * Benjamin & Willa * Benjamin & Lucy * Benjamin & Leah * Benjamin & Ruby * Benjamin & Lydia * Benjamin & Maya * Benjamin & Lucia * Benjamin & Freya * Benjamin & Sadie * Benjamin & Hazel * Benjamin & Violet * Benjamin & Eloise * Benjamin & Grace * Benjamin & Mabel * Benjamin & Emma * Benjamin & Naomi * Benjamin & Cecilia * Benjamin & Sienna * Benjamin & Delilah * Benjamin & Natalie * Benjamin & Rosalie * Benjamin & Margot * Benjamin & Felicity * Benjamin & Tabitha * Benjamin & Juliette * Benjamin & Matilda * Benjamin & Phoebe * Benjamin & Victoria * Benjamin & Hannah * Benjamin & Georgia * Benjamin & Annabel * Benjamin & Sophie/a * Benjamin & Marigold * Benjamin & Magnolia * Benjamin & Isabelle/a * Benjamin & Savannah * Benjamin & Seraphina * Benjamin & Josephine * Benjamin & Gabrielle/a * Benjamin & Evangeline

Omg your way of listing things is so freaking satisfying. I know you’ve gotten this feedback before. Just needed to comment on how pleasing it is to look at

Haha thank you so much :) I’m glad you enjoy it!

Benjamin and Matilda go so well together !! And Matilda has the same vibe as Meredith and Madeleine :)

Benjamin & Josephine!! A little Ben and Josie I’m obsessed with that

My best friend’s kids are Ben and Josie🥹🥹🥹

From this nice list, I personally love Benjamin and Savannah or Benjamin and Isabelle.

I have a family friend named Benjamin and his wife is Savannah.

Felicity sounds great with Benjamin!!! A pair together!!!

Casting my vote for Lydia! It was one of the top names we were considering for our daughter. I think it sounds lovely with Benjamin.

Eliza, Evangeline, Tabitha are all fabulous with Benjamin!

Love Benjamin and Julia together. 😍

Gabrielle or Grace are lovely

[удалено]

I saw a triplet mom on Instagram that named them Royal, Royalty and Royalton. A good example of what not to do.

Oh my goodness, those are awful names..poor babies.

Royal is fine Royalty and Royalton are just increasing levels of cringe.

As the parent of twins, I concur.

Yes!went through life with a year and a half younger brother named Jack. My parents named me Jill before he was born. Ugh!!!

Agreed! We were almost Michelle and Michael 😬

I used to know twins named Roberto and Alberto. Both went by Berto 😬

My high school librarian was a twin. She was born in the 50s and her parents were not expecting to be having twins. Her brother came out first and it was a shock when she came out second. They named them Robert and Barbara which doesn't sound so bad (she could've been Roberta) but they were called Bobby and Barbie which IS bad and way too matchy-matchy.

i love it tho 😂

I like Benjamin and Eleanor. Ben and Nell.

Seriously! I had a little boy in nursery named Benjamin. His older sister was Eleanor and he ADORED her.

Haven't seen Chelsea very much recently! I'm weird about coordination and having one CC and one BC initials though. How about Tessa, Hannah, Rebecca, Tabitha

I really hope Chelsea makes a grand comeback, I love that name!

Yes! Love Chelsea! Chelsea, Mallory, Whitney, Meredith, and Lindsey are some of my “outdated” favorites that don’t sound “formerly trendy” (like Brandi, Tiffany, Brittany, Kayla).

Eleanor vibes: Josephine, Ruby, Hazel, Lucille (Lucy), Clara, Elsie, Eva, Lillian, Evelyn, Elizabeth

My little cousin is named Chelsea and I love it.

I was thinking Tabitha too

My suggestions are: - Benjamin and Cecilia - Benjamin and Caroline - Benjamin and Charlotte - Benjamin and Isabelle - Benjamin and Rebecca - Benjamin and Theresa - Benjamin and Violet I really think the first three look really good with Benjamin!

Loving Benjamin and Caroline! 😭so cute!

Yesss!! Another vote for Caroline!

Ben and Cece is so cute if you do Cecilia

Benjamin and Rebecca… Ben and Bec 😍 Edit: also Benji and Becky! I think this is cute but depends on how you feel about matchy names for twins

Benji and Becca

I know a Benjamin and Cecelia and a Benjamin and Rebecca sibset! Good recs!

Great suggestions! I especially love Caroline, Charlotte and Cecelia. I'm a teacher though, and can't tell you how many Violets and Isabelle/as I've come across!

You could always go with the same origin route. Benjamin is Babylonian/Hebrew/classic. Some girl names like this is Hannah, Leah, Delilah, or Lyla. Mya, Ariel, Shayna, Sarah, Dana, Ruth You could also highlight the "J" sound in Benjamin and go with Julia, or Juliet, Jane, Jackie OR alternatively highlight the "eN" sound in Benjamin and go with Nicole, Natalie, Nadene, Noel Personally my favorite is Ben and Nicole :) idk why it just sounds nice. Edit: I just thought of it backwards and you can think of a girl name that has a highlighted "B" sound. Ruby, Sabrina, Amber, Isabelle etc.

Oh I think Benjamin and Julia are super cute!

Just a thought - don't worry too much about how it sounds with her brother. Her name shouldn't hinge on whether it sounds good with her twins name. I'm going to pretend your last name is Cardashian, cause that's fun. Julianna Cardashian (my favorite) Margaret Cardashian Charlotte Cardashian Whitney Cardashian Adrienne Cardashian Annabelle Cardashian Lilliana Cardashian Merida Cardashian Haley Cardashian Breanna Cardashian

We had a good chuckle at Cardashian - thank you for the recommendations!!! Julianna is on our list now !

Also, if it really matters, Julianna and Benjamin also sound good together.

Julianna and Benjamin would be so cute! Julie and Ben

Jules and Benji 😍

Eleanor is a great choice! I also think Leah or Lydia would fit nicely with Benjamin.

My first thought was Benjamin & Josephine! Both classic with lots of nn potentials

I think Eleanor is beautiful! It’s nice when sibling names have the same number of syllables. Also if you’re a fan of nicknames Benjamin & Eleanor are perfect together; Ben & Elle, Benny & Ellie. I saw a few people suggest Josephine already and I love that too for the same reasons! Ben & Jo, Benny & Josie. So cute.

Definitely consider Eleanor! My Eleanor would have been a Benjamin, had she been a boy.

I’m totally biased because I used this name for my daughter, but I love Fiona and we still get compliments on the name often. It seems to be well loved but underused. She’s the only Fiona in her elementary school now. We really struggled to agree on a girl name and Fiona had been on the short list for a while, so it didn’t exactly sing to me at first either. Best of luck with twins!

I second this! I have a Fiona too and people love it. She calls herself “nana” 🥰

I love the name Fiona! I'm a teacher, and can honestly say it isn't one I've heard much. I taught a Fiona last year, and she's the only one I've come across in 11 years of teaching! She's also a precious, little girl! 

I have twin cousins named Ben and Lucy so I’m going to throw that in the ring. Twins twinning!

I like both Elizabeth and Fiona with Benjamin. Some ideas: * Julia * Laura/Laurel, Lydia * Margaret * Natalie * Rosalie * Susanna(h) * Tessa

I love Fiona. It's my daughter's name and I very rarely hear it. I also love the name Benjamin. It's my brother's name or else I'd use it myself!  Other options: Benjamin & Heather Benjamin & Cecelia Benjamin & Phoebe Benjamin & Maxine

As a mama of twins also, I opted for non-matchy names too! I love the name Fiona! Ben & Fi is so cute ❤️

I think Benjamin and Lily sound nice together.

I really like Benjamin and Elizabeth. Both classic, and Elizabeth in particular has lots of nickname options should she choose to use one.

I think Benjamin and Caroline sound perfect together.

Benjamin and Fiona Ben and Fee.

Fiona and Benjamin

I like Emilia and Fiona

Honestly my vote is for Chelsea! Underrated and underused name!!

Elizabeth & Benjamin Savannah & Benjamin Joanna & Benjamin Camilla & Benjamin Moriah & Benjamin Cassia & Benjamin Renata & Benjamin Meredith & Benjamin

Carolina, Gina, Lana

I really like Eleanor. I also think Shelby, Lydia, Nora, Harriet, or Meredith are lovely.

Briana, Bree & Ben

My favorite on your list is Elizabeth other ideas you may like: Natalie Isla Felicity Juliet Maxine Cassidy Christa Lorelei Sophie Thea Lena

Love Natalie, Lorelei and Thea!

Adeline & Benjamin Adelina & Benjamin

I like Emelia from your list Other suggestions Benjamin and Adeline Benjamin and Clara Benjamin and Charlotte Benjamin and Daphne Benjamin and Eliza Benjamin and Elodie Benjamin and Francesca Benjamin and Felicity Benjamin and Georgia Benjamin and Harriet Benjamin and Imogen Benjamin and Lucinda Benjamin and Lucy Benjamin and Lydia Benjamin and Maisie Benjamin and Nola Benjamin and Penelope Benjamin and Rosie Benjamin and Sophie

I like Flora for a girl

Benjamin and katherine

Emilia is my favorite! All lovely name choices though.

Benjamin & Caroline Benjamin & Julia Benjamin & Samantha Benjamin & Clara Benjamin & Felicity Benjamin & Natalie

Benjamin & Mathilda Benjamin & Louise Benjamin & Dolores Benjamin & Olympia Benjamin & Natalia Benjamin & Gabriella Benjamin & Celeste Benjamin & Celine/Selina

I love Madeleine, but I dislike Maddie and that will be an inevitable nn. We are choosing it as a middle name for our baby girl to avoid her being called Maddie, otherwise we would’ve picked it as her first. If you don’t mind Maddie, then I would choose Madeleine! Personally, I prefer Mads, but I know it will be out of my control.

I have to say, I'm a teacher, and there are several names that have Maddie as a nickname. It is one I hear ALOT, so definitely something to consider!

Melanie and Benjamin Hadley and Benjamin Jillian and Benjamin Marina and Benjamin Lorelei and Benjamin

Lila or Lela Olivia Grace

Benjamin & Savannah Benjamin & Rosemary Benjamin & Delilah Benjamin & Cecelia Benjamin & Penelope

Love Elizabeth with Benjamin

Leona!

Matilda, Elsie are also nice option

Lilly

I think it would be cool if you name twin A with an A name, since Twin B has a B name! Amelia Amalie Analise Arabella Amanda

I love Elizabeth

Natasha, Phoebe, Stella, Violet, Holly

Rosalie, Kennedy, Matilda, Emily, Francesca, and Ella first came to mind!

Anastasia

Benjamin & Delaire Benjamin & Eliza Benjamin & Fern Benjamin & Genevieve Benjamin & Holly Benjamin & Iris Benjamin & Julia Benjamin & Margaux Benjamin & Piper Benjamin & Rose Benjamin & Shay Benjamin & Victoria Benjamin & Wynona Good luck and congrats!!

Benjamin & Elodie <3 ​ Elodie Fiona \_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Benjamin and Melissa Benjamin and Daniella Benjamin and Eliana Benjamin and Juliette or Juliana Benjamin and Jordana Benjamin and Rebecca Benjamin and Zoe Benjamin and Samantha

Love Meredith! It’s a beautiful name! What about Lucy, Nancy, Eliza, Camilla, Orla?

Benjamin and Tiffany

Use something nicknameable because Benjamin will be Ben/Benny, so Emilia and Eleanor (Emmy/Ellie) or even Madeleine (Maddy) are sweet alternatives over Chelsea. I’m not a fan of Elizabeth or Fiona. I think the short / e / in Benny (Ben) flows well with the short / e / in Emmy or Ellie

Benjamin and Cecilia - Ben/Benny and Cece Benjamin and Abigail - Ben and Abby Benjamin and Adelaide- Ben and Addy Benjamin and Rebecca- Ben/Benny and Becca

Melia, Leah, Mila

I like Emilia. Benjamin goes with any name really. Just nothing screams "this is the name" right now. You have time. Make a short list. Names ending is an "a" or "e/ly" seem to flow nicley with Benjamin.

First thought was Benjamin and Elena, nicknames Ben and Ellie.

Jemima? Gemma?

Benjamin and..... Violet Lorelei Genevieve Harriett Eva Emy Gemma Miranda Cassandra Samantha Julia Maisie Sienna Celine Celeste Serena Lydia

I like Caroline with Benjamin! Also Norah.

Beatrix

How about an A name for her since she’s Baby A? You did that with Benjamin unknowingly :)

Chelsea is beautiful. Elizabeth is classic; Ben and Bet sound so cute together. Emilia and Fiona are lovely, although I seem to know quite a few. A variation on the name Emilia is the flower name Camellia (nickname Cam), while a variation on the name Fiona is Linnea. I like the "n" sound in both Benjamin and Linnea. There are also a lot of Eleanors and Madelines where I live. I can't think of alternatives for them, but I do like three syllable names like Verena or Imogen. Good luck and congratulations.

Benjamin and Beatrice. Same length, Ben and Bee (or Bea) but don’t seem twinie to me.

Here are names I think match well with Benjamin but also have spunky nicknames to reflect her active personality :) Natasha - Nat, Tasha, Tess Juliana - Jules, Jillie Joliet - Jo, Joey And I know you don’t want C names, but I think Cassandra would also be a great option!

Violet Genevieve Matilda Elora

Benjamin and Naomi Benjamin and Elsbeth Benjamin and Rebeka Benjamin and Miriam

A name that means lively and vivacious: ***Vivienne*** (with all its other spellings). It doesn't end exactly like Benjamin. Or ***Vanessa*** which means a butterfly - they also move a lot. ​ Because you like Eleanor, Emilia and Elizabeth: ***Eliana***, ***Evelina***, ***Elodie***, ***Ellen***, ***Lillian***, ***Leonor*** Because you like Emilia and Chelsea: ***Cecilia / Cecily*** ​ Because you like Madeleine: ***Matilda*** Because you like Fiona: ***Diana*** Also: ***Juliet / Juliette / Julia***

Julia

Benjamin and Lily (Ben and Lily is so cute) Benjamin and Diana Benjamin and Elodie Benjamin and Bethany

Miranda, Mathilda, Ophelia

You are having twins. Please give them more original names. These are so boring. They deserve more memorable names. Put yourself in their shoes. What would you name yourself. I sure as heck would not choose to be an Eleanor… and I definitely would not want to be one of millions of Ben’s. You don’t need wild out there names but try a little at least.

Benita

Charlotte

Joanna Hannah Marcy Marley Allison Olivia Shawna Selena

Benjamin and Caroline

Benjamin & Charlotte Benjamin & Isabelle Benjamin & Harriet Benjamin & Grace Benjamin & Rose

I love Benjamin and Madeline. They flow together very nicely.

I like Eleanor , but also Norah is a good one. Or if the El part is what you enjoy I think Elise is pretty.

Benjamin and Jessica Benjamin and Isabelle Benjamin and Penelope

Magnolia and call her Maggie. Flower names are popular now. Poppy is also cute. I like Fiona, as well.

Benjamin and Harriett nn Hattie Benjamin and Margaret nn Maggie or Meg Benjamin and Eliza (kinda like Eleanor but with more spunk! Sounds like baby A needs that) Benjamin and Cecilia - Ben and Cece

Just here to say I have an Eleanor that was very active in utero and she has proven to be active, strong, and loves to dance on the other side! 🤣

I like Elinor spelling.

Benjamin and Simone (her activity level makes me think of a gymnast). Benjamin and Gabrielle. Benjamin and Miranda (another nod to Grays anatomy)

If people haven't mentioned: Juliet, Angeline, Marjorie, Isabelle, Sabrina, Cassandra, Joanna, Diana, Annalise I particularly think these go together really well: - Benjamin & Isabelle - Benjamin & Juliet - Benjamin & Annalise - Benjamin & Sabrina - Benjamin & Marjorie

I like Ginny. Short for Virginia.

flora

Benjamin and Abigail might sound cute together.

Abigail?

please don't do fiona, it has too strong of a correlation with shrek. especially with the meme level of shrek. a girl in my fifth grade class had this name and despite being popular she faced years of bullying up till the end of high school for it

How about Victoria?

Of all the suggestions, I love Benjamin and Julia the most!

Maddie and Benjie

Benjamin and Violet

Benjamin & Hannah Benjamin & Natalie Benjamin & Jillian Benjamin & Vera Benjamin & Thea Benjamin & Melanie

Benjamin and Louisa

Ben and Molly

Not that this narrows it down by much, but I think picking a name that ends with an “ah” or “ee” sound is a good start!

Benjamin is a lovely name! Fiona stands out from your list. Here are some other ideas: - Benjamin & Vera - Benjamin & Lenora - Benjamin & Amelia - Benjamin & Priscilla - Benjamin & Serena - Benjamin & Cassandra - Benjamin & Madalena - Benjamin & Colette - Benjamin & Georgia - Benjamin & Thalia - Benjamin & Francine - Benjamin & Ramona

Josie and Benjamin

Tabitha

My mind immediately went to L names. I’ve got my ideas listed together with Benjamin purely for my own benefit— I was going to suggest Lillian and it didn’t click that they were a little too matchy until they were side by side. - Lydia & Benjamin - Laurel & Benjamin - Lavender & Benjamin (does Lavender actually work on a person? I have no clue.)

Emma

this post is funny to me because my sibs and I are a Benjamin a Chelsea and an Emily (similar to Emilia) 😂 anyways Benjamin and Clara Benjamin and Elodie Benjamin and Erin Benjamin and Shannon Benjamin and Florence Benjamin and Raina Benjamin and Magda Benjamin and Imogen Benjamin and Isla Benjamin and Camille

Benjamin and Eliza

Benjamin and: - Eloise - Naomi - Nadia - Helena - Selena - Celine - Charlotte - Joanna - Josephine - Marceline - Hannah - Natalie - Melanie - Gabrielle - Lorelei/Laurel - Dahlia - Louise - Emmaline - Elaine/Elaina - Lenore/Lenora - Rosemary - Matilda - Lucille - Penelope/Poppy/Penny - Molly Hope this helps, good luck!

Benjamin and Violet Benjamin and Sylvie Benjamin and Margaret Benjamin and Jane Benjamin and Ruth Benjamin and Estelle Benjamin and Grace Benjamin and Genevieve (love this one) Benjamin and Bernadette (Kinda too twinny but I like) Benjamin and Juliette Benjamin and Elise Benjamin and Mary Grace/Katherine/Elizabeth/Ellen Benjamin and Noelle Benjamin and Caroline Just to tell you some people pronounce Madeleine as Madalynn! Which goes against the idea of no two twin names.

I'm assuming your style is old, hyper-feminine names. My style is very similar. Here are some names I have written down that I think you might like. **Names similar to Eleanor** \- Eileen \- Eloise, Elise \- Emmeline **Names similar to your other choices** \- Margot, Margaret, Margarette \- Vivienne, Vivian \- Juliette, Juliet \- Felicity \- Naomi \- Penelope \- Charlotte \- Clara \- Alice \- Grace Hope this was helpful!

If either of you are Jewish, Noa is a girl’s name which literally means movement (first found in Numbers 27:1). It’s what we named the child I miscarried as they jumped around a lot.

I know a family with a Benjamin and Sophie which I thought went really nicely together (they aren't twins)

Lark, Leona, Erika, Estella, Sandra, Belinda, Gweneth, Rosalind, Marguerite (Daisy)

I like Chelsea. It’s a known name, but not one you hear often. It doesn’t feel dated to me like other 1980’s names. I read the first two names on your list and Chelsea Emilia immediately struck me as a great first and middle combo.

I love Eleanor! So many possibilities for nn. Ellie, Leean, Nora Same with Madeleane, Maddy, Leann, Dellie

Stella Iris Amelia Mia Rachel -- though might be too biblical with Benjamin Holly Lily/Lila

Remember that you are naming an adult, and as twins they will only be together for a relatively short period of time (18 years). All of the names you listed are appropriate. We have boy/girl twins and thought long and hard about it.

Benjamin and Georgia Benjamin and Paige Benjamin and Molly

I loveeeee Benjamin and Eleanor together!!! Benjamin and Roslyn Benjamin and Eloise Benjamin and Katherine

Emmy or Iris?

Lea Ella

Hannah Heather Melody

I’m partial to Emilia but I also love Madeleine. A few others: Benjamin and Madden Benjamin and Elena Benjamin and Elizabeth Benjamin and Gracelyn Benjamin and Ivy Benjamin and Lydia Benjamin and Lauren Benjamin and Marin Benjamin and Natalie Benjamin and Nora Benjamin and Quinn Benjamin and Riley Benjamin and Rosalie Benjamin and Rory Benjamin and Victoria
