Names for twins

I am expecting boy/girl twins and can't really decide on names.
I don't want anything too twinny like topsy & Tim or ant & Dec 🙄😂
I have 2 names I love, trying to bring hubby round but he's not budging ATM.
Other ideas would help!

If you love Xanthie for your girl, I think these go well for her twin brother:
Quentin/Quinn
Alexander/Alex
Kieran

My favourite girls names are Cara, Francesca, Erin, Alanna, Becca, Bronwyn, Elise, Sammie.

Favourite boys names are Ruairi, Evan, Ethan, Corey, Liam, Jacob.

Ds2 has suggested Jack and Rose. He always suggests Jack and Rose as baby names Grin

Logolphin · 08/03/2017 20:19

Xanthie and Issac
Kezia and Xander

Cora and Quinn has a nice ring.

Go with cocos choice of tide and wave.

PersisFord · 07/03/2017 20:27

Arlo and elodie

Juveniledelinquent · 07/03/2017 20:25

I'd pick very different names. For example Luke and Elizabeth, or Jonah and Eloise, or Matthew and Lilly.

I didn't want xanthe and Xander together - I just like the names

Also like Cora, violet, Quinn

I think the boys name is hardest.

Dh doesn't like anything too different

Jade and Moss (two shades of green)
Sorrel and Sage (herbs)
Halley and Comet :-)

I know twinnies xander and freya, think the names go well together

Crunchymum · 06/03/2017 13:07

You don't want anything "too twinnie" but you like Xanthe and Xander? Confused

Rockaby · 06/03/2017 12:34

What sort of names does your DH like?

Xanthe and Xander are nice, but they are very similar. Would get too confusing for me. I like pp's suggestion of Xanthe and Xavier instead.

We still can't agree - poor babies are destined to be nameless 🙄

A few names there I have already considered myself.
I would spell Xanthie with the ie because it would be after a lady I knew as a child, just needed something to go with it.
We saw the name Quinn yesterday and I quite like that too...

I'm not sure what style I like, open to most options within reason (calendar 😂😂)

Calendar isn't a name i meant Caleb 😂 but oh well sorry about the Xander with a Z I've spelt it with an X on here I got told off! So I guess I can't please everyone.

AuntieStella · 26/12/2016 11:23

Quite a number of the names in the long lists aren't unique (except Calendar and Remmington) and some are encountered fairly frequently.

And for heaven's sake don't spell Xander with a Z (as a zander is a fish)

cocoChloe · 26/12/2016 11:20

Sorry guys calendar isn't a name 😂 spell check I meant Caleb
