Hello, just joined MN and am looking for some help naming my boys! Ideally we would like similar names but not rhyme-y or match-y, not massively popular but not obscure either. Some we already have in mind are -

Michael - is it popular with the younger generation?
Frank
Sid - don't like Sidney but is it okay on its own?
Stan - as above but don't like Stanley
Dexter
Caleb - nns?
Ned - could it be a name on its own?

What names do people think are nice as twinsets/do you have any other suggestions that could go with the names we have above? We would love the help as their arrival is imminent and we don't want them to be nameless forever!

I've got to say I love all of your names, except maybe Caleb but even then it's not a bad name. I think that Frank and Stan are lovely together, although it maybe sounds a bit too much like Frankenstein (it may just be me who thinks that!). Other suggestions how about Dexter and Stan or Frank and Ned. Congratulations and good luck!

Congratulations!

Love Sid, Stan and Ned, and Dexter.

I think it would help people remember the names if they didn't start with the same letter.

We have DT boys with 'old man' names (think Albert and George, though those aren't their names) and they go really well together, without being 'matchy)
