Help[Opinions] Twin girls (boredom alert!)
My niece had fraternal twin girls last May. I haven't known their names until now, because I live far from all of my family except my children, and I haven't kept in close contact with them. So I just now found out their names. They are:
Aubrie Grace
Charlotte Olivia
I don't care much for Aubrie. I know that Aubrey is traditionally a male name, but to me it sounds more feminine than masculine, along the lines of Leslie and Ashley, so I don't have a problem with it on a girl. The reason I don't like it is the initial sound. AAAW. It's the same reason I don't like Audrey. And Grace is a beautiful name, but overused and fillerish as a middle name.
Charlotte is a traditional name, which is good, but I've just never cared for it. And Olivia I really like, but it's way way overused, but better in the middle name slot, at least.
Overall, I think the choices are pretty boring. Not awful, just not exciting. That's my opinion. What do you think?

I like them, but I'd prefer Aubrey.
I don't love the Aubrie spelling. I agree that Aubrey is getting quite commonplace and way too popular, but it's a nice name. I think Charlotte Olivia is adorable..I love it. I like the nn Charlie.

I like Aubrey better than Aubrie, just still prefer it on a boy. I dont hate it on a girl, I just dont like it. I agree 100% with you on Grace. Its super boring as a middle name. I like Charlotte alot but it doesnt go with Aubrie imo. I really like Olivia but agree that it is overused and a bit boring. I agree with you in the thinking that the names are not bad at all, just boring.

Charlotte and Olivia are classy but very overused here and I agree with you, boring. Aubrie I'm not sure about. Aubrey is a boy's name but not exactly common these days (or ever?). I don't mind it on a girl, particularly with that spelling, but I don't love it either. It's not really my style. I also don't feel that it goes with Charlotte. I agree Grace is fillerish.
Off topic, but I've noticed Americans talk about "fraternal" twins but we tend to refer to "identical" and "non-identical" twins here. Just a random observation I felt like making!

I agree, they're not ugly, but not great either. And I don't care much for the spelling Aubrie, it looks nicknamey.

I like Olivia and Charlotte but yeah, they are pretty boring. At least Olivia isn't filler so she will stand out a bit between all those girls named Charlotte Rose, Charlotte Marie, Charlotte Anne and Charlotte Grace.
Grace is a filler middle name but it's lovely and I like it as well. Aubrie is okay. I think I even like it better than Aubrey. I consider Aubrey a girls name but Aubrie looks more feminine. Wow this must be the first time I like a creative spelling better. Aubrey used to be my favorite name a while back. Robin Aubrey and Aubrey Robin. Now I prefer Robin for a boy. The combo Aubrie Grace flows well.
Charlotte and Aubrie don't go THAT well but they are fine together.
All in all a solid yet boring choice. Much better than Kerry and Merry or Sara and Kara or even Ashley and Lindsey, though.
