Twin names

Hello all,

We're expecting identical twins. We don't know what sex they are but are completely stumped for boys names.
DS is called Theo.
If they are girls they will be Isabelle and Eleanor.
We don't want them to both start with the same letter, we'd like them to go i.e. we don't want one traditional and one crazy.

Any ideas anyone?

I have twin boys. We've gone for traditional names for both of them - but not a matching pair. Kind of the equivalent of George and Henry.

They match but don't match, iyswim!

Oscar and Rupert. Oscar and Theo go naturally together for me and I always think Rupert is lovely and works well with the other 2.

Jerome and Gregory (Jem and Greg)
William and Benedict (Billy and Ned)

(I have a William and DP's dad is Harry, which I love too, but as you say it's a no-no!)

We have 2 boys names but have to hope we don't have 2 boys as they cannot go together, but they are the only 2 dh and I agree on.... William (Will) and Harry!

I love Oliver (Olly) but dh won't have it, but I think William and Oliver or Harry and Oliver go. Also love Isaac (again dh says no).

Well done for not doing same 1st letter - so many do and it's a nightmare for post! I love Theo.
