Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick welcomed twin girls MARION LORETTA ELWELL and TABITHA HODGE. Congratulations! The twins have an older brother, JAMES WILKIE.
 
Curious about what the names mean? Here you go:

MARION is an English and French version of Maria meaning “bitter”
 
TABITHA is an Aramaic name that means “gazelle”
 

These are both cute names. Both names have an older, traditional feel to them. I especially like TABITHA — it has always been one of my favorite names. I bet it sees a rise in popularity now. That makes me a little happy and sad at the same time.
 
According to their publicist, Elwell and Hodge are family names.

What do you think about the twin’s names? Post your comments!
