To ask for the best twin names ever?

[Notmilitantbutmycardismarked]

I have twin boys. I won't tell you their names but they are not related or themed. Think Dave and Tom rather than Jack and Daniel.

I do love hearing about twin names though and how different parents deal with it. Do you do obvious links, themes or just two completely different names?

My cousin has Belle and Beauty

My friend at work has Nathanial and Daniel which I always thought was a bit odd

DH's best mate has twins through his ex called Ruby and Tuesday

I can't say exactly, but two same sex identical twins in DD age 5s' s class have such similar names that it took DD three months to realise that there were two of them!

Think Emily and Amelie.

Euripides and Eyalripidose

Think my fave is Sam and Ella.

I have Kieran and Kiera in my class . I mean...

Twin boys at my son’s old nursery were Rocky and Rambo

Local to me twins called Dolce and Gabbana - and no I didn’t make that up !

My gran named my dad and aunt Dennis and Ennis...

@DontGoIntoTheLongGrass you've actually just blown my mind a bit. When I was pregnant with DD I wanted to call her Sam if she'd been a boy or Ella if she'd been a girl- the link never occurred to me before today- feel stupid now!

I have met twins called Ronnie and Reggie.

I have twin boys called Luke and Jake, so that’s my favourite . Have outed myself now though so need to name change!

Before birth they were variously:

Tom and Jerry
Bill and Ben
Lazy and Fidget

I quite like it when there’s something connecting the two, although it doesn’t have to be obvious. A former colleague had twin girls, Vitani and Bellona: both essentially mean warrior goddess in Swahili and Latin respectively.

My twins have unrelated names. Two classic boy names.
I was partial to Thing 1 and Thing 2 at one point though.

Phil and Lil

@babbi - are you in South Wales by chance? As i was once in soft play hell with a Dolce and Gabbana.

My sister au paired for a French family with twins called Oralie and Coralie. Apparently not an unusual pairing!

If you have two cats, novelty/amusing names are fine. But not for darling children.

I know twin sisters Claudia and Claudette

I once taught an Adam and Eve

Luke and Lucy

I know twin girls that are linked via Scottish islands : Iona and Skye .

I once worked in a maternity ward and a two lots of names stood out

Neil @ Niall

Dragon and Tiger (100% not making this up)!

I knew Amy and May. At least it would the same difficulty learning to spell their names...

'mere and 'mon

I know twins called Grace and Alice.
