Expecting twin boys.

We have chosen Edward & Louis as their first names. You like?

Middle names not decided. We have a list - which go with which? (Only one middle name each).

George
Arthur
Alexander
James
John

Louis Alexander
Edward James

I think if the first name is long the second should be short and first short, second long.

Edward Arthur and Louis James

Great names, well done choosing - must be tough with 2!!

I have twin girls and Louis was first choice for us if we had boys, decided not to find out. Love the name Edward as well, but we have called our dog Ed.

Good luck, when are you due?

Hedwig3 · 17/02/2011 12:26

I like Louis.

Louis Alexander sounds good.

mumtobee · 17/02/2011 12:58

Love those names!
Agree with Marksminxs - Louis Alexander and Edward James.

Ooh, you have good taste in names. I have twin boys which are James Alexander and Douglas John! All the names are nice. They all have a bit of a royal tinge to them. just beware with Arthur and Alexander the initials might start spelling things, eg if your surname Ring you get EARing. Not bad, actually we have a JAR, but you know what I mean.

Edward James & Louis George

Lovely names!

I have an Edward Alexander, so that works for me Smile

Louis was on our shortlist too!

RueLaChesty · 17/02/2011 14:33

Before I read the list of middle names I thought Louis Alexander. I like Edward James and Edward John.

happynappies · 17/02/2011 14:35

I have an Edward James, so those seem to go together in my book Smile

flopsy1974 · 17/02/2011 16:31

Edward Arthur and Louis Alexander.
Lovely names by the way.

bambiandthumper · 17/02/2011 17:05

Personally I prefer Arthur to Edward, but I love Louis

I would have:
Louis Edward
Arthur George

Congratulations :o

Edward James and Louis John.

pointydog · 17/02/2011 17:14

Ed/Eddie and Louis are great names.

Edward John and Louis James would be my preference. I don't like names to become too inflated.

HelensTwins · 17/02/2011 17:35

Thank you, I've loved reading all the comments!

I love George and Arthur best so will probably use these.

Edward Arthur & Louis George or the other way round?
