Help with boy/girl twin names!

[macca197831]

Hi, my twins are due in 4 weeks and I am really struggling with names! So far my husband and I can't agree on any boys names.

We both like Nieve for our girl, any suggestions on a boys name that goes well with this? Thanks!!!

Some of the names I like are:

Nieve & Sam
Nieve & Evan
Nieve & Jamie

also:

Norman
Nathan
Nathanial
Neil
Nial
Naveed
Ned
Nigel
Nelson
Nicolas
Nico
Noah
Nolan

Nick

Hey!

Love Nieve, although I prefer the spelling Niamh or Neve...anyway, that wasn't what you asked, sorry!.

Nieve & Sam - I think Samuel would work better, but I'm not loving this combo.
Nieve & Evan - Dislike, but Nieve and Ethan could work.
Nieve & Jamie - Dislike.

Hmmm, boys names to suit Nieve....I'm thinking:

Nieve and Caleb
Nieve and Logan
Nieve and Connor
Nieve and Rowan
Nieve and Finley
Nieve and Rory
Nieve and Elijah
Nieve and Isaac
Nieve and Oliver
Nieve and Jacob

I like Nieve and Evan since they both have similar sounds with the 'v' but aren't too matchy.

Please please please spell it Niamh not Nieve!

Evan gets my vote.

I don't know how to pronounce that name because I have never heard it, however I do love when boy girl twins names start with the same letters

My nieces and nephews that are b/g sets are named

Ava and Austin
And Ryder and Rayn (said rain) but daddy is Ryan so they spelt her name after daddy with a twist

Anyway do you like the name Navaeh (said nah-vay-ah) its heaven spelt backwards and was very popular in the states. I think it's beautiful.
I would suggest a boy name with an N if that's your girl name because I just love my nieces n nephews matching letters. Well I guess I love that anyways as I named all my kids with the letter "b" lol bit this baby we are actually considering changing it to a different letter! Not sure but we may

I'm not a big fan of matching the first letters of the child's name - no disrepect to those of you that do .

I do like Evan for a boy. Before I find out if I was having twin girls I had Evan and Zach. I also like Samuel!

 

[SweetWitch]

I like Jamie a lot, but with Nieve, Evan sounds much better for some reason

 

[Varenne]

Please please please spell it Niamh not Nieve!

So people can mispronounce it? I understand keeping Irish tradition and all but you've got to be realistic. Before I found out the true pronunciation I was thinking Nee-am-huh!

Team Evan! That sounds really nice.

 

[MrsPeacock13]

Surely Nieve will be mispronounced more than Niamh?? Nieve to me is ny-eve or nive.

English phonetics mean we have more chance of getting Nieve than Niamh, although I agree, both are confusing initially. Less people have knowledge of Irish spellings than a grasp on phonetics.

I have only had one person mis pronounce my daughter Niamh and that was the Health Visitor not long after she was born almost 10 years ago. I think most people know it now.

If you're neither Irish nor work with/have kids there's a chance you wont know it. One poster on this thread even didn't know it. Might be region-dependent too.

Until BnB, I had never heard that name before.

I still don't know how to pronounce it. (I'm thinking Niam like Liam, although I'm sure I'm wrong)

 

[JJKCB]

i would assume its pronounced nee-ma not nee-va (no idea how the v sound comes up)

 

[Varenne]

I think it's neeve, like a female steve. That's what I've deduced from nosing around on BnB, but I'm not 100%

 

[Amygdala]

Nieve and Finn?
Nieve and Liam?
Nieve and Ronan?
