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?

Years ago I knew twins called Julian and Julie-Ann - total lack of imagination there especially as had siblings called Martin and Martina 😳

Belle and Beauty? Are you kidding? Poor child to be saddled with Beauty as a name. Ffs.

Not twins but my dad was almost called Paul, his three sisters are Paula, Pauline and Paulette. He got away with a different name.
My family is a joke 😂

There was an America hip hop duo called the Yin and Yang twins, not sure if that's just a stage name though.

I taught twins named Daniel and Danielle. They were the sweetest, most gorgeous kids. Unusual, but when you knew them, it worked.

HolyMilkBoobiesBatman · 08/10/2019 20:47

I used to go to school with Melissa and Larissa.
They went by Millie and Lara though.

UnoriginalUserName948 · 08/10/2019 20:48

I went to school with a Beauty who was rather unfortunate looking. Not exactly ugly, but very plain. She got a lot of stick, poor kid.

I know twin boys called Glen and Campbell.

tripletmum8 · 08/10/2019 20:53

I have identicals and giving them matching names was a big no from day one, they are individual people who will already get mixed up because they look like each other. Anyway, we picked Isabella and Emily.
