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

Don’t worry, I’m not planning on giving them cutesy/matching names or names with the same initials. But I do think they need to work together.

Adam and Alexandra
Simeon and Phoebe

Most important thing is give them names you like, as you would any babies. Not matchy and not the same initials, but avoid one very ordinary and one out there eg Luke and Ptolemy.

My twins turn 18 on Thurs. When I am not referring to them as “The Ferrets”, I call them this…

I have twins and know lots of families with twins (due to being in a multiple births group). Please, please, please don't name them something cutesy. Pick two unrelated names that you like.

Brainded · 13/08/2024 12:36

I wouldn’t give them names I was just called them the twins because after all they are practically the same person…

I love SJP’s names for her twins: Tabitha and Marion

or Hannah and Rebecca

Boys? I think my actual sons’ names, Alec and Theo(dor) would be perfect. ☺️

Different initials or they will have problems with getting mixed up by "officialdom". I saw a newspaper article where one twin had received no NI credits for years of work, because they had been mistakenly credited to her sister.
