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

I have twins too.

The one thing you may like to consider is to give the 1st born twin a name further down on the alphabet.
So you know, the 2nd born twin is called first (obviously when called alphabetically).
Just so they're not always 2nd IYKWIM.
I did this but have no intention of telling them, ever.

One word of advice: do try saying both names, fast, both ways round. Does it work? Or will you end up, like friends of ours, with irritated twins known to all as Polly-and-Hoppy?

Amy & Zoe (their mum took LoopThePoop's advice to the extreme!)
Lee and Anthony

Christ on a bike - if you can't pick something from all of these posts you should probably hand the twins over to me at birth Grin

Well it's not just one name is it?!
There are TWO! and I need three combos innit?!?
and they sort of have to go with DS1 and DS2's name (and not over-alliterate)
SO many things to consider

Grin

I see you completely ignored my suggestion

Or, if you really don't like Chipping & In, you could always go with B1 & B2

What do you THINK you're having?

I had a hunch that I had one girl. With infallible logic I failed to extrapolate that that meant I was probably also having one boy, which is what I had!

So, when mine arrived rather ahead of schedule, I had one girls' name, and absolutely no boys names. Hospital loved me with 'Baby Um...'!

CeliaLytton · 12/10/2013 00:23

Jack and Daniel?

(Not gin related but too tired to think of something witty to go with Gordon)

Now you have linked from another thread which is bonkers and will clearly attract weirdos you will be getting all sorts!

Isobel and Amelie
Asher and Mabel

I can go one better - I know triplets called Eilidh, Kara and Adam :)

I also know twins called Hannah and Chloe, Leanne and Margaret, Diane and Caroline, Thomas and Josephine... I think there's more but I can't remember.

Good luck!
