    I think I have final names for my twins: opinions please!

    Hi all,
    I'm due to give birth any day now with twins!
    The names my husband and I decided on a while ago now are Skye and Isla. They go well together and with our last name and there are no issues with the initials spelling anything inappropriate or anything like that!
    I'm just doing a last minute check of the internet community. Can you tell me if you like the names or think they are bad choices? If you think one or both are bad can you give a reason why you don't like it?
    Thanks so much!!

    I think they are lovely names, and the only minor issue I would have (and its pretty silly!) is that it sounds a little like "The Isle of Skye" (Island in Scotland..), but that's no reason not to use them. Maybe people will think you have a connection to the Island? Its a lovely spot

    Thanks guys for your responses! We're going to go with the names.

    I also found this great site today where people who have the name rate different aspects of it, whether they like being called it etc: Skye | Should You Name Your Baby Girl Skye | Baby Names World

    Campari: We did think of the Isle of Skye thing - we have no connection to Scotland! I figure I'll try to get around it by using "Skye and Isla" when I use the names together. Skye is the presenting twin so should be born first so that makes sense!

    LimeSlice: My hubby was wanting to wait and see what they looked like before deciding but I think we're pretty certain that "twin A" will get Skye. I've had so many ultrasounds over the pregnancy that I already feel like I know their different personalities!

    Thanks again!! Argon
