Names for Twin boys

We have decided on middle names, which are family names...but no idea what to do for first names.

Middle names will (probably) be James and Robert.

Probably nothing too unique...my husband has strong veto game, but I’m quite open minded.

All help gratefully received!!!

I’d have Hunter and Garrett

Hunter being a name that goes back four generations in my family and Garrett just sounding nice.

I went to school with twins James and Alan which is nice too.

My imaginary twin boys would be Jude and Eli, or Jude and Caleb. Or Caleb and Eli 🤔

Try not to have the obvious nicknames rhyme.

For twin boys we liked George and Albert (Bertie). We had twin girls Grin

Good point to avoid too much of a matching set, they’ll probably have enough of that being identical 😂

Just don't do matchy matchy names. Encourage individuality.
