I like the name Alex and Matthew for twin boys

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Very nice. Personally I'd use Alexander, with Alex for short.

Lovely

EsmeWeatherwax · 27/04/2013 21:03

Lovely.

Fine but boring IMO. However my children have quite unusual wacky names which you would probably dislike....

lucybrad · 27/04/2013 21:10

mine are Reuben and Alexander.

mewkins · 27/04/2013 21:22

Yes good solid names.

mervynmouse · 27/04/2013 21:43

Both lovely names and they sound great together. Also love Reuben!

Love it but would definitely use Alexander for the birth certificate, Alexander and Matthew who will ultimately be known as Alex'n'Matt Giving the name Alexander will allow him more choices as he gets older (a more "grown up" name, same as Matthew is to Matt or Andrew is to Andy.

I quite like Alexander but am not keen on Matt at all.

Still18atheart · 27/04/2013 22:26

Love the names. Both in the same vain / idea
However, I do agree that it should be Alexander on the bc.

Bit safe imho.

My twin boys would be

Theo and Zac. (Theodore and zachary)

My twin girls would be Romilly and Bea.

In my head only though.
