First of all, Congratulations on your twins! In my opinion, the middle name for the twin girl, I think Gabriella would be nice to match with the twin boy. But, you could also spell it different. Try look under G names if you want to match it up. It's all up to you. By the way, the names you gave your twins are precious. Keep me update on the final names. Good Luck! May God Bless Your Family!
