They are due in the summer, so we have time but need to start opening mine and DP's minds up to ideas! Identical twins, we don't want too 'matchy' names but also don't want them to grate against each other. We already have a boy called Finn. We have some Irish heritage but live in England, a nod to Irish would be nice but not essential, I'm more English than Irish. I hope that makes sense. Please hit me with your name suggestions to get the ball rolling! Thanks

Thanks everyone, there's certainly a lot of ideas to mull over. I definitely think girls names are easier than boys. But Aiden, Daniel, Matthew and Lawrence have also made it onto my long list so I'll have a chat with DP and see if we can agree on any! I've also got a few girls ideas from this thread but have also realised I was struggling less with them!

Finn's middle name is Frederick so don't think I could name a baby after his brother. James and Matthew are being considered. Yes sillybub, the Irish spellings did throw me a bit, the Irish in me is a bit too watered down to go for those convincingly! I like Owen, Rory I love but struggle to say my 'R' s properly so that would worry me a bit!
