My mum just asked me this, Just for fun and it took me ages to think of an answer!

If you had...

Boy/Boy. Girl/Girl. Boy/Girl.

What names would you choose?

Just trying to cheer myself up today with some light hearted baby name fun.

I have twins. Every single twin I met throughout my pregnancy gave me the same advice.

  1. Don't give them "twin" names
  2. Don't dress them the same
  3. Don't give them joint bday presents.

Henry and Martha

I’ll have twin boys by mid jan and we’re planning to call them (probably) Rufus and Edward. Rufus is more definite, Edward might change. If it was 100% my decision I would probably go Rufus and Rowan.

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

We have twins and we knew they were boy/girl from about 20 weeks. For the rest of the pregnancy we referred to them as Luke & Leia.

More than one person thought we were actually going to call them that once they were born. 😄

Shiraz and Chardonnay for girls
Whisky and rye for boys
Alcohol and Anonymous if I had a second set.

I don’t know but if you’d asked me when I was a child (l was heavily influenced by Enid Blyton) I would have given you names like Felix and Felicity, Harriet and Harry, Henrietta and Henry etc. Etc. Thank goodness my tastes have changed!

I have twin boys & they have safe names.

If we'd had girls I would have called them Beatrice and Clementine.

KiteMarked · 26/12/2017 10:30

Joseph and Thomas

Arthur and Helena

Elisabeth and Dorothy

Dh wouldn't agree to these names though. We have very different tastes.

Oooh I’ll add all my choices:
BG Henry and Martha
BB Henry and Thomas
GG Martha and Annie

Timpani · 26/12/2017 10:35

Emmeline and Ada
Jonah and Edgar
Boy girl would be a combo of the above.
Emmeline and Jonah probably.

We always play this game even though it would be a miracle if any baby actually arrived!

Our current favourite is both our surnames but the other way round irrespective of boys/girls.

So for example - twin 1 - Rizlett McKenzie and twin 2 - McKenzie Rizlett.

We'd also have one each and see who bought up the best behaved/naughtiest one.

BG twins due in March will be Frederick and Harriet - Hattie and Fred.

Had they been BB, Frederick and Marcus.
