Hope that doesn't last long!Here's a quick shot of a few of the letters, so you can see the type of patterns. There are 10 different ones, but I won't bore you with individual shots, since you can't really see them well in pictures anyway
(And no, one of them is not "Elvis"... I realize it may appear that way with the letters that ended up in the frame)

Thanks! I liked them both individually, but had a really hard time settling on them for twins. I feel like a lot of people will assume Elise is Alyse, which I realize is not that different but I really only like it one way! Also, if they assume it's Alyse, then it's ENTIRELY too twinny for my liking... it's pushing it as it is.
Avery Jade was the first name we could EVER settle on, boy or girl, that both Kyle and I really liked (without any arm twisting even!) Then I fell in love with Isabelle Elise, but couldn't come to terms with Isabelle and Avery.... for whatever reason, to me, one seemed to just be much more delicate, girly, whatever than the other, and I couldn't pull the trigger to settle on that when I felt the names were so different. (I know, I seriously over-analyze things!)
Kyle didn't like Avery and Isabelle together as much anyway, so I didn't try that hard. If we ever have a third child (well, and it's a girl), then I will not back down from Isabelle. Maybe by then Isabella won't be so popular, which will make me a little happier too.
(I know, I need therapy!
I completely understand your reasoning. Isabelle is beautiful, too.
Jennifer - They are wonderful! And I love the names.
While I would love to think of them individually (especially since they definitely take turns beating me up now), we are unsure of whether we'll determine names now or ahead of time. I imagine it will be at the birth... but for one of two possible reasons. They might end up looking right for a particular one versus the other. Also, if we like the sound of introducing one then the other first (on birth announcements, etc) then the first one to come out will have to be the first one we want to put on the announcement. If I were having a ******l delivery we could almost be certain baby A would come out first and we could go ahead with naming them, but with a c-section it all depends on who is closer to the incision, not the cervix -- which could change right before the delivery!
I can't think of anyone we know named Elise or Avery, so those are good choices!
Beth - I will have to work on that reply after dinner!
Jennifer - Isabelle and Isabella are both very popular. We also know a little girl named AnnElise (pronounced as one word) and a little girl named Elisabella. We met a lady at P&PP last year who had a baby named Arabella, which is out cat's name!
For the last several years, Isabella is WAY up there, like in the top 5 for new baby girl names. Isabelle (and Isabel, etc) is barely in the top 100, and actually not much higher than Avery.
