I am pregnant with twin boys and my husband and I have absolutely no idea what to call them! We have a Henry and a Madeleine already but are seriously lacking inspiration this time round. I quite like Xavier but my husband thinks it's too 'out there' and so far it's the only name either of us has come up with. Any suggestions gratefully received, we are so stuck! Thank you

Your other two names are fairly classic, so I would stick with similarly classic names for the twins.

Think it would work well to have a two/three-syllable name with a one syllable name

How about:

Alistair and George (love Ally and George)
Alexander and George

Peter and Joe
Patrick and Joe

Lawrence and Ben (my favourite combo I think!)

Gabriel and Jude

Harry and Fred

If my girl twins were boys they would have been Jack and Hugo.

Ezra and Keir. They're my 2 fav names at the no and I think they go quite well together.

Great suggestions, thanks everyone. I just wish there weren't so many boys in my family as lots of these lovely names are annoyingly already taken! Please feel free to add any additional name ideas too. Thanks so much, all!

On a lighter note, I love the Archenland tradition in The Horse and His Boy. Cor and Corin, Cole and Colin, Dar and Darrin...just saying
