Hi there mums :D we're expecting twins (boy and girl) and we are set on the girl being named Lena (Lay-nuh) but we're having trouble coming up with a boy's name...My husband and i are thinking about the name Leo but are not sure if it sounds to similar to Lena.
thoughts?? and feel free to suggest some other names that could go well with Lena aswell

I would always steer clear of having the same initials for family members , it’s a pain . I also agree with pp that I’d read Lena as Lee not Lay . For some reason I’ve automatically gone for Marcus as a good match although it’s not a name I’d usually go for .

You could get away with Lena and Leo, they don't sound that similar. I know some people say twins should have a different initial though for practical reasons.

What about:
Ivo
Finn
Max
Asa
Jude
Joel
Guy

I like Lena but too similar to Leo. I would also say Leena if I just saw it written down. I have b/g twins too and I was careful not to give them the same initial. It will be annoying for them later eg. At secondary school.

So.. To go with Lena
