We are having boy/girl twins. We hsve settled on Francesca Elizabeth for our little have but are struggling with boys names.

Names we like but can't use for various reasons are Oliver, Thomas, Harry. I like Alexander and Joel. The only name we can vaugely settle on is William.

Has anyone got any bright ideas?

Love Francesca. Yes, a similarly long, elegant, latin sounding name would work best with it.

Francesca & Dominic
Francesca & Valentine
Francesca & Constantine
Francesca & Emilio
Francesca & Leonarde

I agree that Francesca, being an elegant, beautiful, underused name would go well with a boys name with a similar feel. I think Sebastian, Constantine or Lysander would go really well.

(yes, Oliver, William, Thomas and Harry are very widely used already).

Oooh, or Joel Alexander works too. I think it's a slight winner for me.

Francesca Elizabeth and Joel William are lovely. Fun, uncommon first names and regal middles, without being matchy. I don't think you need to look any further - the options you already have are so great.

How about matching the number of syllables?

Francesca is a lovely, underused classic name for your girl.

However, I find your boy's choices a little dull/overused in compariso, especially Oliver, William, Thomas and Harry. Joel is nice and less common.

How about Francesca and
Tristan
Marcus
Quentin
Theodore
Cassian

We're toying with Joseph and Isaac at the moment. NN Joe & Zac.
