Or maybe you’re a twin parent and have had to do this for real. I’m obsessed with thinking about baby names at the moment (not helped by trawling these boards) and would love to name twins!

For girls I’d go Astrid and Frankie.

For boys hmmm haven’t given it much thought as I find boy names so hard but I’ll say Gene and Jet (Jethro).

What names would you choose?

This isn’t about slating the names choices of others Smile

Surprised to see Francis cropping up a few times. In reality if I had a DS this would be his name. Also Genevieve seems to be popular, love it so much but don’t like the nn Gen or Evie.

My triplet boys would be called RIchard, William and MIchael.

If I had twin girls, I'd call them Mara and Alys. Don't know about boys, maybe Samuel and Arthur.

I’ve done it for real.
Basically I wrote loads of names out on A4 pieces of paper and blu-taked them to the living room wall for six weeks. Each piece of paper Thad a one syllable nickname next to it.

We still had three names in the car to the register office :-)
Chose the right ones though

When I was a teenager I dreamt I had v twin girls named Isabelle and Katrina. I have 2 boys and a niece called Isabelle. I was gutted when she was named but I won't have a girl now.

No idea for boys... Hugo and Arthur are names I like, but I would like to try to find a name with Ed on it because both my brother and father have it. Edgar, maybe? Edric? Not both!
