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?

@MsMustDoBetter. You do realise that identical twins are always the same sex!

In answer to ops question. My twins have completely unrelated names.

Not twins, but there's a couple near me who have 4 daughters, whose names are all Princess, hyphenated with a Disney name.
They also have a son with a completely ordinary name.

I fairly recently had twin boys at school called Ronnie and Reggie Hmm
Also an Albert and Ernest who were very definitely not Bert and Ernie.

My favourites were Poppy and Daisy, who also had sisters called Violet and Rose, when they were really small they used to introduce themselves as the flowers Grin

SinkGirl · 08/10/2019 22:04

Now wondering if there are a lot of twins called Ronnie and Reggie or we’ve all met the same ones.

C S Lewis of Narnia fame was keen on twins but not a great namer so he had Col and Colin, Dar and Darrin.

Not twins but we were at a park recently and there was a family with about 4-5 kids. 3 of them were Brianna, Tiana and Rihanna , not sure what the other girl and boy were called.
