Twin brother for Alex

Hello everyone, I'm pregnant with mo/di twin boys. I already started thinking about baby names. I've fallen in love with the name Alex, just that not Alexander and husband is on board. However we struggle to find another name that we like as much. I love Felix, but I'm not sure about Alex and Felix. Isn't it too matchy? Husband just thinks of cats when I mention Felix lol. Another option is Alex and Luca, which I think flows quite well. The last name we came up with is Ben. However I've always liked Benjamin more, and shortening it to Ben just because Alex is a short name feels wrong. What do you think about these combos? I'm still searching for simple boy names with european feel and would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you. 🙂

I don’t think Alex and Benjamin go badly together, but I’d be a bit worried about having ‘Twin A’ and ‘Twin B’ vibes (due to the initials, not the names)

I think Alex and Benjamin sound lovely together.

ourflagmeansdeath · 04/03/2023 22:53

Ahh Alex is lovely!!!! And I love love Alex and Luca, feel like that'd go so well and I can see myself naming twin boys that. Absolutely no to Alex and Felix, Felix will always make me think of a cat and it's too matchy!

Suggestions:
Nico
Ezra
Noah
Rory
James
Leo

I think it needs to be a two syllable name, but not with an X in it. So not Felix.

Alex and Abel.
Alex and Arthur.
Alex and Marcus.
Alex and Theo.
Alex and Ryan.
Alex and Hunter.
Alex and Reuben.
