Names for B/G twins

We’re expecting boy/girl twins soon. We’ve settled on the name Ruby for our daughter and are deciding between Finn, Elliot and Zach for our son. Please help us decide. Would also love some middle name suggestions if anyone has any.

I’d check the popularity of Zach and Finn where you live.

Zach was uber popular around here about 15 to 20 years ago so it might be slightly old fashioned to his peers and Finn was uber popular around 10 to 15 years ago. So popular we had 5 babies born on our street in 6 months and they were all named Finn. The DPs hadn’t realised until they all went to School together.

Zach is not a name imo. It’s a nickname for Zachariah or Zachary.

Finn is a person from Finland.

So my choice is Elliot.

Peanutlicious · 22/09/2026 22:37

I would go Ruby and Zachary.

Zach Alexander
Ruby Elizabeth

Not a fan of Elliot

Ruby and Finn sound gorgeous together. Like that they are both 4 letters too. Not keen on Elliott sorry. Zach is nice but just doesn’t roll off the tongue as nicely as Ruby and Finn.

NotrialNodeal · 22/09/2026 21:11

Ruby and Finn makes me think of Rosie and Jim.

I like Zach and Elliot though.

If you go with Zach I would choose Alexander, Rory or Nathanial as the middle name

For Finn, would go with Alexander, Sebastian, Oliver or Daniel as middle name.

additional suggestion for Ruby would be Francesca
