Congratulations from a father of twins....
No particular name suggestions, just give your daughters names that have meanings to you and your wife....My son is named after his great-grandfathers and my daughter is named after her great-grandmother and great-great grandmother....
Two things to remember with twins....
1. Twice stressed, but twice blessed!
2. What is a toy to a single child is a weapon to a twin....
Relax now....you are going to need your rest when your twins get here!
Petunia and Pansy ;)
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
Girls Huh? Darn it. I had a great idea for a set of noy twins -"Pete and Repeat". LOL!!!
Just kidding! CONGRATULATIONS and we pray that everybody stays healthy.
congrats to you and your wife! I second what many have already said on this thread - go with traditional names. There are so many beautiful feminine names for girls; don't name your daughters something androgynous sounding like MacKenzie or Hunter (this is a tragic trend these days). If I were so blessed to have twin daughters some day I would go with the names Emma and Claire. Beatrix and Madeleine are also favorites of mine.
"Smith" and "Wesson" sends a nice message to future dates...

My daughter is named the "Maggie" one. Maggie and Lillie...hmm...maybe I should look to adopt a little girl.
As per naming, just a few caveats I've gathered on the way. I have a number of friends who are twins, curiously enough. No matching names like Jean and Jane (really variations on the same name). Check the initials to make sure they don't spell things that will guarantee teasing for years to come. And check the overall sound of the name. 'Wear' it for a week or so (prior to their birth). I have had a number of students whose names are awkward sounding or sound like other words. Most notably - one poor boy's full name, when said together quickly, sounded like the word 'awful'. Most of all, enjoy your girls, they grow up so quickly!
