My picks of these choices in order of preference are:





1) Dakota=friend


2) Ayasha= little one


3) Talulah= it means like water that jumps


4) Leotie= flower on the prairie

Reply:Hi and congrats on your twin girls.





I think it's great that you want to name them based on their heritage. As a person that's an outsider I like a few names from your list, but then again they are easy to pronounce and remember. I guess most ppl would go for easier names so the girls won't have problems with other kids while growing up. Here are some that I liked (I like the way they sound):


Dakota, Talulah, Nitika, and Ayasha.
Reply:I like Yamka and Yoki. they both sound really pretty and I like the meanings of the names too. good luck and congrats!
Reply:what about jessica and rebecca or angelica or roberta
Reply:Please, please, what ever you name the children, try to give them a name that is easily pronounced and spelled! I have one of those unusual names (which is French). I'm an adult and I still hate it! No one can seem to pronounce it or spell it. I shorten it to Rea. So think about the child, which will grow up and have to deal with the "what did you say" "where did that come from" "do you have a nickname?" By the way, I like Dakota and Kanti.
Reply:Kanti is cute-sounding and unique, and it's meaning may give the child something to live up to, and Nitika is neat-sounding. You don't want to give names that might be more easily mispronounced or made fun of.
Reply:Dacota%26amp;Tiponi
Reply:I like Nikita Dakota. It's very pretty.





I also like Talulah Tiponi, it seems like it could even pass as a full name.





Ayasha Yoki and Amitola Yamka (which has a pretty meaning: "rainbow blossom") are good twin names. They'd both be AY, which is nice for twins.





Good luck! Just tell us what you pick.
Reply:Well congratulations on your pregnancy! I like the names Leotie and Lomasi. They go together nicely :). Good luck on your decision. Hope the pregnancy goes well!
Reply:My favorite girl twin names are Kristina and Melissa, because they can be shortened as Krissy and Missy but they have many nick name options when they're ready to be "not so cutsie" anymore.
Reply:i like kanti because i like 2 sing. good luck!
Reply:Numees and Nashota are very pretty names for two twin girls.
Reply:Several generations back, we had a Binesiqua (bin e SIK wa) in our family. I'm not sure that's the correct spelling or what it means, but I thought it was very pretty.
Reply:My only suggestion....stay away from the new age sounding stuff unless you're just wannabes....





If that list is just a mix of different languages and you aren't fluent, then it's hard to confirm their meanings. Many Native languages are translated incorrectly online. Just so you are aware.
Reply:Personally, I like unusual names, especially if the name has a special meaning, but my preference is for names to sound recognizable. For instance, a family friend has the name "Javin" which sounds like a more common name "Gavin".





Polikwaptiwa has a beautiful meaning, but who will be able to pronounce this??? One option for you would be to go with one of these meaningful names, but to use a nickname like "Polly". Your list has tricky, tricky names, but here are the ones that I think you could work with:





*Polly (as a nickname for Polikwaptiwa)


*Dakota (familiar name for many)


*Ayasha (rhymes with Tasha so friends may remember it better)


*Talulah (I'm not fond of the name, but Demi Moore's daughter has this name so people have heard it at least)





The other names have beautiful meaning behind them, but unfortunately don't sound as nice or familiar spoken in English. I suggest using these sort of names for middle names and maybe combining more traditional names for your daughter's first names. Since I'm guessing you don't live on an Indian Reservation, most people your children will meet will have a very hard time understanding their names. Keep in mind also that websites featuring "Native American" names may be using faulty information. If the name really is Native American, wouldn't it list the tribe (i.e. Cherokee) that the name came from? It would be very sad if you were tricked into using a made-up name for your child!!!





Best Wishes!!!
