    We are having boy/girl twins. I have known that I wanted the girl to be "Greta" for quite some time but know we can't decide on a middle name.
    Please let me know what you think sounds better:

    Greta Jean (Jean is my mom's and sister's middle name)

    OR

    Greta Ann (Ann is my middle name)

    Thanks for your help!

    I vote for Jean also!!!! My little girl will be named Victoria Jean!!!!! ;)

    (The name Jean runs in my family as well. My grandmother's name, my mother's middle name, my twin sisters middle name, her daughters middle name!!! )

    I like Greta Jean as well, BUT am partial to Ann because that is my middle name too! :lol:

    I'm the odd man out...I really like Greta Ann the best. Although...when I say it too fast it sounds like Gretanne...perhaps the gretA and the Jean does go better. :p

    I like Greta Jean better than Greta Ann, the two As seem to run together.

    Have you considered Greta JeanAnn/Jeanann? I have a friend named Jean Ann; she is called by both names all the time, so to my ears it's a perfectly acceptable "single" name.

    Also, my brother and his wife combined both grandmothers' names for their daughter's middle name, Ruthann. I've always thought it was a neat way to honor both, and a pretty name to boot!

    Good luck!

    Jean. It doesn't flow to have one word ending with the same sound as the next one begins with, IMO: i.e. GretA Ann.

    Definitely Jean. I agree with pp about the A at the end of Greta and the beginning of Ann not flowing well. I think I read this somewhere, too!

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I think we are going with Jean. I think it has a cute ring to it!
