Hi - have posted on here before about names for identical twin boys who are due to make an appearance shortly but husband and I are still no closer to having any favourites and it's starting to stress me out a little!Will be brothers to Toby (Tobias).

List currently is:
Felix
Oscar
Zachary
Caleb
Alistair
Nathaniel - love this but surname begins with 'n' and ends in 'l', so thinks it is prob too much
Jasper - husband not a fan
Ezra
Otis
Frederick

Like but can't use for various reasons:
Sebastian
Louis

Would be grateful if you have any favourites from our list or new suggestions?!

I have 16 month old twin boys and we couldn't decide until after they were born - we couldn't find one boys name we liked enough, let alone two. In the end we went for two pretty traditional names and I'm glad we did as most of the twins I know now have more modern names and often more than one of the same name in the group.

I quite fancied using Albert and Frederick, like the twins from The Prestige. Also, Frasier and Niles. DH said no, sadly 😂

Toby, Zack and Seb

Tobias, Zachary and Sebastian

Nice ring to those names.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/01/2018 16:38

Zachary and Sebastian

Leicesterpiggott · 28/01/2018 14:10

What about Kit? Jude? Casper(Cass)?

PinkFlamingo888 · 28/01/2018 14:05

I like Sebastian and it sounds like you quite like this too and as someone else said zac and seb are nice together as well as Zachary and Sebastian

AnyaMoondial · 28/01/2018 13:15

Felix! Felix and Zachary look really good together.

Coughsyrup · 28/01/2018 12:42

Zachary and Sebastian or Zachary and Benjamin

These flow the best I think, and all three are lovely names!

BroTim · 28/01/2018 12:25

I like Koa & Reu for boys
From the list I’d choose
Ezra and Jasper or maybe change Jasper to Kasper

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/01/2018 12:08

Zachary and Sebastian.

Serafinaaa · 28/01/2018 08:44

I like zach and felix! I'd just go with those! 😃

Chocolatecake12 · 28/01/2018 07:14

Was coming on to say secastian or Benjamin too! For the exact same reasons as spam88

Spam88 · 28/01/2018 07:11

I like Benjamin or Sebastian. The abbreviated names are cute together as well - Zac and Ben, Zac and Seb.

LordSugarWillSeeYouNow · 28/01/2018 06:56

Caleb and Oscar for me! I don't know why but I think twin names look better with the same amount of letters.

I have twin nephews who are 9.
Their names are both 3 letters long.

It just flows so much better.

Hello

Hoping you don't mind me resurrecting this thread but we're still going round in circles and the boys will be arriving in next 48 hours! Have been in hospital for a couple of days and getting myself more anxious and confused about this baby naming!!

So, definitely going with Zachary for 1 twin and have got down to

Benjamin
Felix - husband's now preferred choice
Oscar
Alistair
Sebastian - bringing this back in as we do love it and Toby was called it for 24 hours but i know a few including an acquaintance who's had a baby recently - not sure if this bad form?

Aghh - thanking you again for your assistance. This is the final time I'm asking!

Zac and Albie
Alfie and Noah
Ethan and Oscar

BrokenBattleDroid · 22/12/2017 23:11

My favourites from your list are

Felix
Oscar
Alastair
Frederick

Probably in descending order!

I know of a Toby who has a brother Hugo which I think goes nicely.

Would also add in Andrew, Rory and Gregor.

capercaillie · 22/12/2017 22:49

Felix and Oscar stand out and go well with Toby.

Other options
Rory
Robin

buttercup54321 · 22/12/2017 22:42

Toby Frederick and Zachary.
Toby Oscar and Zachary
Toby Evan and Finlay
Toby Matthew and Daniel
Toby Edison and Jack
Toby Ethan and David
Toby Patrick and Michael
Toby Vincent and Christian

dotdotdotmustdash · 22/12/2017 18:39

Toby, Benjamin and Zachary.

Dream team.

mrspatel77 · 22/12/2017 18:36

I am having my baby on 2 Jan and his name is likely to be Freddie (Frederick) so that gets my vote!
If I were having twins I'd probably go with Oscar as the other name xx

Frazzled2207 · 21/12/2017 22:10

Felix and Oscar

Valeriemalorie · 21/12/2017 21:54

Ethan
Reuben

EvilCleverDog · 21/12/2017 21:42

I like Oscar best from your list.

Oscar and Reuben (Ossy and Roo)

RickOShay · 21/12/2017 21:38

Really like Zachary and Otis.
What about

Joel

Dominic

Conrad

Barnaby

Rafael

Cattenberg · 21/12/2017 21:25

I knew a Nathaniel. I'm not sure he liked his full name, as he always introduced himself as Nathan. But perhaps that would go better with your surname?
