To ask for the best twin names ever?

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?

I’ve met baby twins called Ronnie and Reggie

I had twins called Ronnie and Reggie.

They were kittens though, so no-one got judgy about it. Grin

I know twins Connie and Ronnie.

Also siblings Remy and Raffles after brandy and cigarettes. Grim.

There are some absolute gems here. I taught a Tommy and Tammy once but they were in Thailand so that kind of excused it (they have nicknames and then long Sanskrit names as their real names). I also taught a Thank You, a My Dear, a Fifa and loads more mental names.

Reggie and Ronnie is genius

I went to school with a Summer and an Autumn, amazingly Summer was brunette but Autumn had bright red hair.

A former colleague had boy-girl twins Dover and Clover, which didn’t sound at all tacky in their rhyme.

Bigmango also in Thailand - I knew a child called Beautiful Diamond. Poor kid could barely write it! Brother called Jedi Knight 🤷‍♀️ They had beautiful traditional Thai names on bc and passports though, thank goodness.

A friend of mine once encountered twin boys John & Jonathan.
Best I've encountered are twin girls Holly & Willow.

@theWarOnPeace Yee gads. I knew loads of Golfs and Benz. Oh my friend taught a Superman.

I watched a twin documentary a few years back. One mum had called her sons Christopher Anthony and Anthony Christopher.

PiratePetespajamas · 11/10/2019 19:37

I knew of twins a few years back called Django and Gabriel. I thought that was totally rad. Unconnected but each a fabulous name by itself and sound good together.

Twins in my school
Stephen Thomas and Thomas Stephen

There are twins in my child's school called Isabel and Luna. Don't think I could go 'normal' for one and a little more unusual for the other.

Knew a Sarah and Matthew and Charlie and Harry.

MIlly and Molly

I know a set of twins they are in my sons class at school...lovely kids nice parents, but their names are ridiculous. I cant put them here as the spellings are really unique! But many years ago, my mother worked with a woman who had twins and called then, Destiny and Tuesday...she said it was her destiny to have them, and they were born on a Tuesday...

IggyAce · 11/10/2019 20:29

I know twins called Elizabeth and Isabel they go by the nn Lizzie and Izzie.

mammabearandhercubs · 11/10/2019 20:57
