What are your imaginary twin boys called?

I had a dream that I was expecting twin boys last night and now I’m convinced it’s a sign (not really, just hoping!). I daydream about baby names a lot and was wondering what names you’d choose for twin boys? (Don’t worry I haven’t gone completely loopy, I’m aware it was just a dream - just fun to think of these things 😊

People refer to my twins and 'Twinnies' no they have names, use them.

I never understood why there is a name - Thomas - that means 'twin', but which is never given to more than one of the twins! Plus, it is also often given to boys who are not twins.

I once met an old lady who introduced herself as 'Twinnie' - "My real name is Mavis, but I'm a twin, so everybody always called me Twinnie". Apart from that being rude and the height of laziness on their part, did they call both of them Twinnie, and if not, why not? And if we're going to be that reductive when it comes to twins, why don't more people just call single-pregnancy children 'Girl' or 'Boy'?!

I have twins, before I knew they were both girls I toyed with the idea of Thomas and Tamsin ( also means twin) if they were boy girl but they weren't .

The best looking man I ever kissed was called Trevor! He completely changed my opinion of the name!

When I saw this thread, I immediately thought ‘Lucas and Aaron’. I don’t especially like either of those names, so random.

isn't "Twinnies" what Topsy and Tim get called by their mum on the TV programme?

I think so - but it's more an affectionate nickname rather than a name-substitute; and at least she calls both of them that!
