Help! Boy/girl twins are due in just under a week and my poor little boy is nameless. I love Isobel for my girl (probably shortened to Izzy) and their older brother is Alexander (Alex.) On my sort of list of ideas I have George, Thomas, Oscar and Edward but I don't love any of them except George and DH hates it. Any good ideas?

I have a friend with newborn boy/girl twins and they went for Isobel and Dylan which is lovely I think

Thank you Frozen, it's very kind of you to say so! Ooh, I'm definitely veering towards Thomas now, just need to convince DH. DS will be delighted if we name his little brother after his favourite train Grin Thanks everyone!

I came on to say Thomas/Tom, as an earlier poster mentioned, it means twin, and I think it goes perfectly with Isobel. Best of luck!

FrozeninSummer · 20/01/2017 02:39

I really like Thomas actually and think Isobel, Thomas and Alexander sound lovely together - although all your list is nice, think you have great taste

PanannyPanoo · 20/01/2017 02:04

I like Oliver,
I think Izzy and Oli sound adorable. As well as being lovely names in their own right.

AmeliaJack · 20/01/2017 01:49

We didn't alliterate but I know people who have.

I've been in several situations where the DCs records were sorted by surname, first initial and DOB. That will be very difficult if you have:

Teapot, I - 12/4/2017
Teapot, I - 12/4/2017

LoupGarou · 19/01/2017 23:22

Isobel and Rhett?
Rhett was my second choice name for DS, but DH and I both loved my first choice.

LoupGarou · 19/01/2017 23:22

Sorry Alec wouldn't be great with Alexander already !

Thanks everyone, lots of good ideas! Strawberry, I've never seen Greys Anatomy, the names do seem to go together though. GRW, I didn't know that, Thomas is now on my shortlist. Amelia, is that the voice of experience? Duly noted, thank you Smile

I have boy/ girl twins, my advice is please don't alliterate.

It's annoying for all sorts of reasons, mail, official records and marking initials on stuff just to name a few!

MeganChips · 19/01/2017 19:26

I have an Isobel and a Toby.

Other names on the shortlist were Henry and Oscar.

Thomas would be my choice, and it means twin.

AlreadyGone · 19/01/2017 18:39

Jacob?

Don't know why. Just popped in to my head.

strawberrypenguin · 19/01/2017 18:37

I wouldn't have Izzy, Alex and George anyway unless you want people to think you are huge Greys Anatomy fans!

You seem to like traditional names so how about Robert, Stanley, Johnathan, Matthew

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/01/2017 18:33

How about Benedict ?
