We don't know whether we're having two boys, two girls or boy/girl.
Molly and Huck from West Wing is one possibility Grin
and obviously all gin- based combos also welcomed GrinGrinGin

So please list the twins you know - would be a massive help.
TIA

Olivia m'dear! Long time no chat Grin

I think you should call your twins batman and robin. It works for b/b or b/g! I'm sure that in a few years batman will be a unisex name too, so you could get in early if it's g/g.

Oh, and congratulations!

Harry and Joshua

KillashandraRee · 12/10/2013 07:46

Please please please if you have boy / girl twins call them Maude & Claude (pronounce in French accent....may involve move to France but I LOVE these names!)

William and Harry.

I accidentally called my boys (7 years apart) this. I think you should DEFFO use them for twin boys.

Reality · 12/10/2013 10:43

Accidentally as in I already had Harry and William was going to be Edward William until he was born and very much wasn't an Edward.

@Reality

William and Harry.

We have this already - DH and DS1 Grin
DS1 was going to be Alexander though but he V much wasn't an Alexander.

I've got twins!!!! I was gonna call them Leon and Luca, but I ended up going with Felix and Reuben. Feel free..... Grin

McPie · 12/10/2013 21:49

I have the pleasure of having Sophie and Ryan, whos names were picked by ds1 (5 at the time), they would have been Kimberly and Greg if Granny hadn't said to him that there was already a Greg in the family, there is but its dh's cousins son who none of the 3 of us had/have even met! Days later he changed his mind about the first choice names and I'm glad as they fit them perfectly.

I don't know that many twins, but the ones I do know/have met are;

Francesca & Natasha
Hilda & Nora

IHaveA · 12/10/2013 22:02

Oh, Olivia. I am a little disappointed to see this thread, I thought we had already agreed that you were going to call them Juniper and Berry. Sad

If I had boy twins I would call them

Liolan and Leander.
