Any suggestions for twin boys please??

[madeuplovesong44]

I'm expecting twins in about 6 weeks, I know they are identical but don't know what sex. My husband and I like Martha, Annie, Evelyn and Orla if they are girls, not sure what combination or middle names! However we have no ideas for boys....like not one!!

We have two children already, a boy and a girl. They both have names that are on the boundary between traditional and unusual.

Please help with any suggestions.

I have twin boys and EXH overruled all my choices, but I dearly wanted to call them Basil and Leopold. However even I'm not that cruel; I'd have settled for Freddie and Harry. I succeeded with one of them.

Thank you. I really like Jude and Alexander and I love Felix. Don't think I will get my husband on board. He votes James and Tom. Lovely names but combined with our ultra dull surname are a bit bland I think.

[freedom2011]

Thomas And Gerald
William and Benjamin
Stanley and Oliver
William and Edward
Fred and Barney
Syd and Eddie

and DH suggests
Starsky and Hutch

[ChristmasEva50]

Oscar and Felix.

[LynetteScavo]

I love the names Martha and Orla, but not sure if they go together.

If I had twin boys I'd call them Hamish and Bruce. Or Edward and George. Or Jonas and Milo.

If I had twin girls I'd call them Genevieve/Jenny/Anna/Charlotte (Lottie)/Lara I can't decide tonight.

[JRoo]

Rufus and Barney
Louis and Tristan?

[monkeymamma]

Could you choose one each?

Or
Inigo and Tobias
Konrad and Geraint
Jonty and Hector
Edwin and Jacob

[moxon]

monkey jonty and hector are swell. :)

[MsCoconut]

Alexander and Sebastian
Sidney and Austin
Hugo and Louis
Jude and Elijah

Or draw inspiration from Thomas the the Engine:

Henry and Edward
Bertie and Thomas
Toby and Percy

[Purpleflamingos]

Nicholas and Noel?

On a more serious note, I like your DH's choice.

[crje]

Like your dh choice too

Bland is better than shite

[BikeRunSki]

I grew up with a distinctive furet name and a surname that needs spelling out all the time.

Thanks to a boom in popularity of my name about 20 years ago - and on going - and a traditional English "occupation" married surname, I now have a bland name, as do my children. I love it. I like to think I sm memorable for reasons other than my name.

[madeuplovesong44]

I must confess that 'James and Tom' have been well received by anyone who we have mentioned them to. Bland is certainly better than awful, weird or pretentious which is probably where my choices would fit! And you are right I hope my children will stand out for something other than just their names.

For girls I think we are set on Orla as we do have an Irish heritage and my inlaws would be delighted for us to acknowledge this. Maybe Niamh and Orla would work?
