Twins (but not finding out the sex so need options)

[Wiggy29]

We already have a Benjamin (gets Ben) and Finley (gets Finn).

We really struggled with naming our youngest (Finn) and did it on the last day of the six weeks we could! Finn was our compromise name as dh loved James and I wanted Evan.

We both like traditional names though I would like something that's not too common.

It's boys names in particular we struggle with and we may need two more! To complicate things, I have a really big family and don't want to duplicate names and many of ones we like are taken (Joseph, Sam, Daniel, Thomas etc).

Any ideas? Dh is reluctant to discuss it as he is still miffed that ds2 isn't James! I on the other hand think we need to have some ideas we agree on BEFORE they're born to avoid calling the children 'baby' again for six weeks!

If it's twin boys them what about James and Evan, using your previous choices.

I agree that twin boys should be James and Evan!

My unscientific hunch is that if there's no family history of twins you'd be more likely to have identicals.

Max, Hugo, Sam, Jake, Tom
Juliet, Annabel, Catherine, Susannah

James and Evan
Samuel and Jacob (Sam&Jake)
Juliet and Annabel (Juju and Anna)

do they look like identical or not according to scans and placentas etc?

I agree you'll both be happy if each of you pick 1 name.

any girl ideas?

Agree with using James & Evan for twin boys so both you & DH get the names you like!

Do you have any preference in the kind of girls names you like/dislike? Purely going on your other boys choices.....

Emily, Zoe, Lara, Jessica (nn Jess), Sarah, Evie, Isla

Barnaby (Barnie)
James

Matilda
Eliza
