Which way round for twin middle names!?

[possum18]

31+ weeks with DCDA twin boys, we have decided unless they really don't suit them on the first names Lewis and Noah.

For Middle names we like James and John

I would love to know opinions on which way round sounds better..

Lewis John and Noah James
Or
Lewis James and Noah John

Thanks!!

Lewis John and Noah James

I wouldn't like to have two names ending with s, which is why I didn't like Lewis James.

[possum18]

Thank you Ants, that was the order DP wants - choosing 2 names has been tricky so wanted to be double sure

[NoCapes]

I Agree
Lewis John & Noah James

[DramaAlpaca]

I agree too - Lewis John and Noah James.

[MrsLettuce]

You can't have John and Lewis in the same name. Surely not?

Noah John
Lewis James

[Twooter]

I agree with Mrs lettuce

[possum18]

My mum said no one would pick up on the John Lewis link, it was one of my primary concerns haha

[DramaAlpaca]

Oh! I hadn't noticed that

[MrsLettuce]

Might Louis (prn. Loo-ee) work for you instead of Lewis? The combination with Noah feels more balanced it the mouth too, IYSWIM.

[PeaceLoveAndJaffaCakes]

Oh dear. I think Noah James sounds lovely, but that leaves you with Lewis John, which did make me think of JL. What about Jonathan instead of John?

[MrsLettuce]

Louis John
Noah James

[Paddletonio]

I didn't think of John Lewis but now that I see it I think Lewis James and Noah John! Both lovely names.

[julfin]

Because of JL, I think go with Lewis James and Noah John.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Never even thought of John Lewis.
Best of with Lewis James and Noah John.

[MyKingdomForBrie]

Lewis James and Noah John, much better flow.

[Sophronia]

Lewis James and Noah John

[jemimastar]

Lewis and Noah are gorgeous twins names, just thought I'd throw that in here!

[possum18]

Thank you all for your mixed input! And thanks Jemima

[wallywobbles]

Fraid JL was my first thought.

[zipzap]

Noah John and Lewis James - but I'm biased as I already have a Noah John (having cast around for a second name for a long time and avoided John as it was my late dad's and we'd decided we didn't want to use any family names - but we both independently decided that we thought Noah John worked really really well).

Congratulations on the twins - and they are all lovely names!

[KatieT12]

Noah John and Lewis James - they are both the same letters then you don't get the JL connection too. However, I didn't think of it

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Lewis John and Noah James

[BeardMinge]

Lewis James sounds like an estate agents.

[BendydickCuminsnatch]

I thought of John Lewis too. And now I've heard it it really sticks out.

I preferred Noah John and Lewis James in the first place anyway!

Lovely names OP.
