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?!

Not keen on your other choices.

Maybe Alistair and Alexander. If you don't mind the AA

Love Felix, Jasper and Otis.

Toby, Evan and Zachary.
Toby, Otis and Zachary.

I don't really think any of the other names on your list 'fit' with Toby/Tobias.

Felix and Oscar would be strange for older people due to programme Odd Couple when we were young. But either on its own is lovely. Love Nathaniel but understand not suitable. Alistair is great

There are twins called Felix and Rufus at DS's school. I quite like the combination.

Thanks everyone. Felix is one of my favourites but I know everyone always mentions the cat food. Not sure that bothers me though!

Patrick is nice - definitely a possible.

Twins are due at the end of next month.

We had Felix, Tobias and Oscar on our list when DS2 joined us last year, we have a Theodore and a Caspar

ChocolateCrunch · 18/12/2017 20:26

I like Felix and Oscar from your list, and I like how they sound with Toby

Andrewofgg · 18/12/2017 20:16

But Flowers Flowers whatever you decide. When are the little miracles due to join us, and will you please share the good news and the names?

Andrewofgg · 18/12/2017 20:14

Michael

Lewis

JollyGiraffe · 18/12/2017 20:10

My favourites are Alistair (but prefer Alasdair spelling) and Frederick.

I like all of the others apart from Felix, Ezra and Otis.

Another suggestion: Patrick?
