Identical twins boys

DD is Nora so would like the same sort of genre. Middle names will be Eric and Samuel. Genuinely at a loss. DH doesn’t want anything in the top 50 for first names. I like Joseph but it’s so popular it seems.

You can't use John and Edward because of Jedward!

John and Edward.
Give them names that are not matching. Don't go for Aaron and Zachary, but something more like Philip and Michael, because of the way names are listed.
Congratulations.

Must be able to say both boys’ names in a few syllables

Why? It's not different from saying any other number of siblings' names.

My kids have 2 and 3 syllable names that rarely get shortened.

My ID DSs are 11 now but last week I found the notepad with possible names for them.

We put all the names on A4 paper and blu-tac-ed them onto the living room wall. Each had the one syllable nickname version too. I’m still very happy with their names and the one syllable versions are what we usually use. Must be able to say both boys’ names in a few syllables - so practice saying them together

Good luck

Seth and James
Rowan and Toby
Luke and Alex

I wouldn't worry about popularity chances are if you choose a less common name there will be another in their class 🤣 Joseph isn't that common.

As they’re identical give the second born a name nearer the beginning of the alphabet, or at least higher than his twin. Our twins start M&P, P was born first, but M will be first in class lists etc. Congrats. Twins are ace!
