Twins - Lucas Jake and Jacob Luke?

25 replies

MGK0212 · 27/12/2015 20:00

Me and DH had decided on Lucas and Jacob, as soon as we knew they were twin boys, but had other middle names picked out. Little Jacob was born sleeping (we knew this would happen during the pregnancy, so it wasn't a massive shock) but we would now like Lucas to always carry a bit of Jacob on, if that makes any sense, so was thinking of having Lucas Jake and Jacob Luke, but are they just too matchy? Thank you x

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Lovely idea and congratulations and sorry for your loss too

bangbangprettypretty · 27/12/2015 20:13

Really nice I think. I know a family who named their son Thomas (whose twin was born asleep) as it means 'twin' too, which I think is lovely and means he carries a memory of his brother with him.

Sophronia · 27/12/2015 22:32

BendydickCuminsnatch · 28/12/2015 18:41

Oh I love that, a twinny connection without being too obviously matchy matchy. Even more touching given the circumstances. OP!
