Whiling away the time before my friend announces her twins have arrived and I'm most excited about the name choices.

So, indulge me.

What would you call your fantasy twins? I'm taking into consideration names of kids we already have so if twins were suddenly added to my family I'd have

Boy/Boy:- Sid Lawrence Surname and Rex Henry Surname
Boy/Girl:- Sid Lawrence Surname and Olive Juliet Surname
Girl/Girl:- Olive Juliet Surname and Penny Fearne Surname

Dh doesn't get a look in on these mind, so we would end up probably calling them thing 1 and thing 2

I have non identical twin boys who should have been Lucas Vincent ( left baby) and Reuben William ( right baby) however some close friends had a child called Lucas and we couldn't agree on another L name so instead he is Marcus Vincent.
If They had been girls they would have been Lola may and phoebe martha.
Boy girl a selection of the above :-)

Bb Jack Edward and Oliver Peter
Gg Alice Ivy and Lucy Grace
BG Jack Edward and Alice Grace (Grace is my definite middle name and Lucy Ivy would give unfortunate initals)

Vanillaradio · 29/11/2016 19:08

As in her full initials would be LIMP.

Ooh. I was on the last fantasy family thread and posted the names I used for a main character's DC (set of triplets and set of twins. I know, I know- it's fiction though!!) in a story I'm writing. (Just for fun not publication or anything.) The twins were Callie and Imogen in that post.
I tend to like unusual but not totally out there names. Can think of a fair few girl names I like. Not really boy names.
I'll include the names I put on that thread.
Scarlet Lucy, Meredith Amelia, Fleur Madeline
Callie (Calista) Helen, Imogen Naomi. (In the story their surname is King so Immy gets the nickname Inky sometimes 😊) Id use these names in real life except Imogen because that's DM's name! Grin
Can't really think of boy names! I sort of like Nicholas. So I can't think of names for boy/boy twins.

I have twins. The most important test of twin names are:

That they don't merge together when you say them

That they are easy to shout as you try to chase two toddlers across the park at the same time going different directions of course

I wrote a story with twins in it too. In my case they were mirror twins (quite rare). Briony was the right-handed twin (there's an "r" in Briony) while Chloe was her left-handed sister (there's an "l" in Chloe).

GB: Lucy Charlotte Niamh & William Oliver Joseph

GG: Lucy Charlotte Niamh & Lara Florence Juliet

BB: William Elliot Joseph & Samuel Oliver Henry

Tried to take into account our tricky surname and the fact lots of my favourite boys name are sadly out as first names due to family getting there first...)

Any thoughts on these welcome as currently deciding for our early June baby (will be DC1)!

My DH would veto every single one of these. If I were to get preggers with twins I'd have to LTB.
