What do you think of these names for twin girls?

Question

Gwenyth Lindsay Anders (We want to call her Gwen and we are set on the 'en' spelling as apposed to 'yn' so we misspelled Gwyneth)

Sara Genevieve Anders (We love the name 'Sadie', but we had a hard time imagining a very successful adult with the name Sadie so we wanted it to be a nickname. We took the H off because that is the way my mother-in-law's name is spelled)

These names aren't completely set in stone, but as of now, we love them. I just wanted opinions...

Thanks in advance,
Claudia

Answer 1

I like them all except for Lindsey

Answer 2

I really love that you thought through the Sadie vs. Sara thing. I love Sadie as a nickname, but it's too cutesy for a given name! I also adore Sara Genevieve.

I would personally keep the Gwyneth spelling, even if you are going to call her Gwen. It's the proper spelling, so you might as well go with it! Besides, Gwen's a nickname. If you can call Margaret Peggy, Gwen from Gwyneth is perfectly fine! I'm not too crazy about Lindsay, though. It's the odd name out. Sara, Genevieve, and Gwyneth are all classic names; Lindsay feels too trendy. How about Stella, Scarlett, Shauna, Samantha, or Slyvia? They all sound better than Lindsay, with the added bonus of having reversed initials: SG and GS.

Great choices, though. They're classic, feminine, and beautiful without being overly matchy.

Answer 3

I think Gwenyth and Sara (Gwen and Sadie) are lovely for twins. It's wonderful that you've actually chosen names that compliment one another without being the least bit "matchy." And the combos themselves are great, by the way!

You haven't misspelled Gwyneth, however. Gwenyth is a completely separate name meaning, quite simply, "wheat." Gwyneth's meaning is "happiness" or "white,fair, blessed" (both meanings literally related to the gwyn form ... the Welsh gwynaeth meaning "happiness" and gwyn alone carrying the "white, etc." meaning). Gwenyth is a totally different name.

If that's a positive for you, great! ;) But you do know most Gwyneths do use Gwen as a nickname regardless, right? No need to use a different name for that reason alone. Don't get me wrong ... I like both (but prefer Gwyneth's meaning and familiarity, since as you've mentioned, many assume Gwenyth a misspelling LOL). Just wanted to point out that Gwyneth, nickname Gwen, is a perfectly traditional choice. ;)

Answer 4

Well I love your name lol :). I also love Gwenyth Lindsay. Sara Genevieve is OK, it's a bit too plain. I can very well picture a successful lady named Sadie.

Answer 5

I think Sara compared to Gwenyth sounds a little plain in comparison.

Answer 6

Not crazy about Gwenyth.......Lindsay is cute tho. Sara is good too, but maybe Sara Elizabeth? Maybe Lindsay as a first name??

Answer 7

particularly some those names may well be utilized as the two first or center names, so the solid mixtures are infinite for this record. indexed right here are my favorites out of your names: Catherine Ruby Daniella could Melisa Elizabeth Sophia Ruby Valerie Claire i think of Catherine and Claire may well be a lovable sibset. They the two initiate with the same letter, however the names are distinctive, so this is not too perplexing. i like those names. all of them are somewhat lovable. indexed right here are some techniques of different center names to pair which contain your names.

Answer 8

Gweneth Claudia Anders and Sara Lindsay Anders. gorgeous names. good luck.

Answer 9

I like both, but much prefer Sadie, have you not heard of Sadie Frost?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadie_Frost

She is very successful, and besides, it is up to your child to make a name for herself in this world, you should let the fact that there are not many famous Sadies put you off, people can be successful regardless of their name.

Answer 10

I do not really like Gwenyth. I just don't think it sounds like that nice of a name. I don't really like Genevieve either.

I do like Sara!! And Lindsay is nice.

Good luck!

Answer 11

As a child of parents who thought it would be cute to misspell my name to make it a little bit more unique please take note of my advice NOT to do it. Throughout my life people always think my name is a typo whenever they read it written down and it is ALWAYS constantly misspelled, it is VERY annoying. Hence why I go by my nickname (Mia) even though I prefer the full name better!

You may think it's cute to do it, but trust me your child won't think it's cute when she spends her life correcting people on how to spell her name!
