i was convinced they were girls! But delighted to be having identical boys :)

One will definitely be Arthur.
The other one....

Oscar
Edward
Jaspar
Caspar
Theo
Felix

Any thoughts? At the moment my faves are Oscar and Caspar.
We already have a ds called Rowan and three nephews called Sam, Thomas and Alexander.

Another vote for Arthur and Edward

I hate hate hate when twins names rhyme, and Arthur has the same sound ending as Jaspar, Caspar and Oscar. Let them have some individuality :)

I dont think Felix and Theo go well at all- too cool

Edward definitely. Agree with other posters that the others don't quite fit with arthur (wonderful name btw).

I like Theo and Felix and think that they work well with Arthur and Rowan. Good to have names which sound different at the end I think. The UR and AR endings together are difficult to say.

I don't usually like twin names to rhyme but I think that Arthur and Oscar sound really nice together, and because the other sounds are very different they still sound individual. I also really like Rowan, Arthur and Oscar together.

Edward or Theo

I think Edward goes best (although, if I had twins, they would be Theo and Felix Grin).

I have ID twin boys and one of mine is Oscar. So I love the name obviously!
We liked edward very much but chose a short simple name for the other boy so it wouldn't be too much of a mouthful.

Those are really lovely names :)

I agree with the poster above about twins' names sounding similar, being identical they'll get mixed up sometimes anyway but having names that sound alike might impede them developing individuality? Theo and Felix really popped out to me from your list, not names I hear very often.

Congrats on your babies! What a gift to have twins x

Caspar or Felix ae my favourites.

I like Arthur and Edward or Oscar. I wouldn't have Arthur and Theo as there's too many "th" sounds so I think it's hard to say them together.

Arthur and Edward , lovely names together.
