If you were having twins, what would you call them?

Currently 16 weeks with twins. Don’t know the sexes yet. Need some inspiration. What would you call yours?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My twin girls are Felicity and Matilda.

Nathaniel & Benjamin (Nate & Ben)
Paige & Alice
I have an Alexander (Alex) though so I would have to swap Alice for something else as I think it would be tricky to distinguish which one I was calling to come down the stairs.

I thought this would be a pretty innocuous thread, not sure why there are so many comedy answers! Perhaps people think I’m a troll (I know people on here often think Twins = Troll on here). Obviously I am not :)

Anyway, I’m enjoying the funny answers and paying attention to the serious suggestions.

I’ll also reiterate that of course I plan on naming them as individuals and not a set, but they do have to work together to an extent, in the same way people often ask on here for names that go with their other DC’s names. I would never go for something awful like Thomas and Thomasina or Joseph and Josephine.

Also not going to apologise for asking before we know the sexes. We might not find out until birth.

This thread has reminded me that I once vaguely knew an Aidan and Nadia.

Maybe come back when you know the sexes.

I have twins and called them
Two names that I liked. They are individual people.

I agree with this, don't go for twiny themed names... i went to school with twins called Andy and Andie (Andrew and Andrea). They always got lumped together.
Boys names i love are Raphael and Laurence and girls Sophia and Claudette.

Naming twins is no different than naming your first two children. Twins are just two individual children, not a set. Some of the posts on here are just ridiculous.
