Tit and Tat?

Absolutely love the anagrams.

They are not obviously matchy, like same letter/ rhyming names.
It honestly took me a while to figure out they were anagrams.

My favourite is Norah and Rohan - lovely names.

It’s too contrived and too twee - just pick names you like - they aren’t a pair of goldfish

Sorry to piss on your chips but twinny names piss most twins off - they are individuals - give them matchy middle names if you must.

I agree that matchy matchy twinny names are awful, unless you are naming budgies but it would probably be okay as a middle name because nobody is likely to know or notice (unless they choose to tell people), very few people will know both twins’ middle names. It’s quite nice to have a middle name with a family connection, eg being named after a grandparent or your mother’s maiden name, they might think that sharing a name that is an anagram of your twin’s name is a lovely connection, if they think it’s ridiculous, no one need ever know.

Ohhhhhh! what about ..they have very own identity(?) names -But -also can have optional anagrams...so... Abraham and Beatrice also = Abe and Bea.
twee would be george +mildred , den+ange,kylie and jason stylee

Starsandall · 07/02/2025 19:46

Etta Is lovely, I think I prefer Liam to Tate.

yourmaw · 07/02/2025 19:37

Billy + Libby.... slight twist n could obviously be william/eliza....

None of the above. It’s too contrived - give them their own identities.

yourmaw · 07/02/2025 19:35

i like arlo and orla. ... How is anagram being seen as forced\share identity tho?Apart from b/g so clearly individual -if anything it nods to same BUT different.

Mia Lord Voldemort for a girl has tears in my eyes, I thought I read it wrong 😂😭

Well it's a boy and a girl, they could go by Tom and Mia day to day Grin

Twaddlepip · 07/02/2025 16:16

MegTheForgetfulCat · 07/02/2025 05:19

I was going to suggest Tom Marvolo Riddle and Mia Lord Voldemort Grin

Mia Lord Voldemort is 🙌🏻

itsgettingweird · 07/02/2025 16:02

Didn't spot that anagrams - clever idea.

Wouldn't do it myself.

I'd go for Etta or Ettie and Liam.

Aidan and Nadia?

TizerorFizz · 07/02/2025 08:06

This feels like an Enid Blyton book of twin names. Except Tate! Who on earth would think that’s a good name?! Ditch the twee anagrams and give each child a personal name as an individual.

JerrySprinter · 07/02/2025 08:03

Cheesy.
Plus as pp have mentioned "Tate"? No thank you!
Give the kids their own identities, not some trendy naff notion.

Very good 🤣🤣🤣

My vote is for Darlene and Leander.

lottiegarbanzo · 07/02/2025 07:50

Orla and Arlo is inspired though. Very on trend at the same time (which may have been ten years ago).

it isnt naff..choose what you like! - i dont think using same letters is not permit own identity.

Norah and Rowan

Matchy names is very twee.

Mila and Tate are nice together.

Andrew Tate comes to mind and ''Tato'' for potato Nora sounds like ''gnaw-rer'' like what a dog does.

They are two separate individuals not a fucking matching set!
