I love the names Riley Claire and Olivia Anne. I especially like that the names don't rhyme or start with the same letter. I have identical twins and everything I've read says that you need to give twins individual names to promote their sense of self.
However, your husband probably should be included in naming your children (if I had to compromise with mine then you should have to compromise with yours) :-) What about:
1. You each pick one first name and one middle name. Or, you each name one.
2. Chelsea Anne and Riley Loren
3. Riley Claire and Shelby Olivia (or Shelby Anne sounds pretty too)
4. Riley Olivia and Chelsea Loren.
Congratulations and good luck!

I have twin boys and two older boys. The father wasnt going to be a part of the twins life but thought he should have naming rights....Not!
You should allow your husband to be a part of it and it is hard to do. Before I found out I was having boys, I loved the names Victoria Ryan and Olivia Nichole. Or you can name the girls in some way after special people in your life.
My boys names are Adam Connor( just liked the name Connor and Adam was because it is a strong name) The other twins is Andrew Carl (again, Andrew because it is a strong name and Carl is after my stepdad who has been more of a dad to me in the last 6 years than my real dad). My stepdad has a special connection with Andrew now.
It can really mean a lot to children to know when they are older that they were named for special people in your lives

Riley Claire is adorable! I don't like Olivia. Since you named the rest, let him choose the other name. Mya Anne or Mya Chelsea would be cute!

Why dont you pick the names, and your husband can pick out the Middle names. This way when the girls, or boys grow up they can pick which name they wont to go by. i have friends that go by their middle names instead of their first names.

I have a god daughter with the name Samantha Paige!!!
I love the names you like. If you do choose names that he likes, do consider traditional spelling.

I have to say that I like any of your husbands choices. Maybe put the names in a hat and take pot luck!

let him pick out one name and you the other. Or you decide first name and him middle Or ask the other kids if they are old enough to understand.
