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

Agree no alliterative names or names with the same ending, not only is it not cute it cn be dangerous if you are calling out to them in an emergency and they miss which one you are speaking to.(same goes for dressing them the same)

Dara and Dell
Ashley and Emma
Max and Theo
Caitlin and Lucy
Catherine and Susan
James and Richard
Sarah and Emma
Sophie and Hannah
Jennifer and Alison

I like Harris and Lewis (the Hebrides)
Scarlet and Ruby

@Pachacuti

But surely g/g twins will be Justine and Carrie? Grin


Hmm. That's a whole new level of workplace sucking up, non??
Grin


I am not mad about alliteration and v conscious that the names will be said together a lot - and so have to "go together."

When I was newly pregnant with DD, who is now 3.5, I fantasised Hmm about having g/g twins, and calling them Alexandra and Anastasia, nn Alexya and Anya.

But I just had the one, and she is called Lucy Grin, so you can have my fab combination!
