I like something not two syllable as I don't like twin names to sound too matching like jack and Jill or tommy and benny.
So Max is nice or Sebastian (Seb) as although Penelope and Sebastian do both have four syllables you're likely to mainly use Penny... don't like monty or albie for the rhyming/samey reasons as above.

Another vote for Max. I think it compliments the 4-syllable Penelope perfectly and sounds so cute as Penny and Max.

Please choose Max!! Grin

I'd avoid Penny & Albie/Monty, too cutesy and rhyming imo.

Penelope & Felix
Penelope & Reuben
Penelope & Quentin

I love Felix and Otto. They both go great with Penelope too I think.

I'm having a section next week and Penelope is our chosen girl's name (I think, still worried its a bit too long!). Last night I dreamt that they found two babies in their (told me one was hiding during my scans!!) and the second twin was a boy, so Luca, our chosen boy's name!

So that's my suggestion from my dream twins but of your list I'd defo go for Max

Lovely names, I especially like Felix. Good luck with the twins!

I'd avoid 'y' ending names, else it sounds a bit twee, so Felix, Max or Otto for me.

Love love love Felix! Your shortlist is almost identical to ours - we ended up going with Caspar as he was born on Christmas Day.
