Ideas for boy/girl twins?

Preferably a bit Celtic as our ds's have scottish names. Our surname ends in 'son' so unfortunately can't use ones like Madison which I know isn't Scottish but I like!
To be even more difficult, nothing beginning with C/E/F or K as I'll get too confused with the rest of us!

Isla is THE most gorgeous name ever unfortunately dp didn't agree so we have a Freya (nordic not scottish)and for a boy I LOVE Lochlan or Caleb (unsure of spelling)

bearmama · 22/05/2008 15:32

Sorcha and Seamus (maybe TOO Scottish)

I know twins called Harris and Tierney. Harris is a scottish island, not sure about Tierney?

Thanks all, again! Somuch, wasn't thinking of the same letter, I do agree with you! I think with four kids it would also make it harder...

Bethany is a place in Israel and Bethan is Welsh for Elisabeth (I think)

Greensleeves · 21/05/2008 16:39

Bethany is Celtic, it's Welsh

Mairi
Shona
Elspeth
Morag
Kirsty

Gregor
Euan
Alistair
Hamish
Dougal

Please, please, please, whatever you do, don't call them names beginning with the same initial. It's just so "twinny" and won't help your dcs to have their own identities. I am speaking from alliterative twinny experience here!

ElizabethBeresford · 21/05/2008 16:26

Sorry, I gave you some C names.

I like Douglas too. Doogie is so cool. People have said, doogie howser in response but I've no idea who or what that is.

Duncan is quite nice. Duncan and Patrick are very distinguished celtic names imo.

Bruce could be the next Gus. Fergus could be Gus, or the whole name Fergus. love that.

ElizabethBeresford · 21/05/2008 16:23

Malachy and Bethany*

Fergus and Clodagh

Tadhg and Maeve

Cathal and Shona
