I like Albie and Felix!

Imaginingdragonsagain · 01/02/2017 08:08

And Sebastian

Isadora2007 · 01/02/2017 08:13

I like something not two syllable as I don't like twin names to sound too matching like jack and Jill or tommy and benny.
So Max is nice or Sebastian (Seb) as although Penelope and Sebastian do both have four syllables you're likely to mainly use Penny... don't like monty or albie for the rhyming/samey reasons as above.

Penny and Max is nice

ChocoChou · 01/02/2017 09:28

Another vote for Max. I think it compliments the 4-syllable Penelope perfectly and sounds so cute as Penny and Max.

Please choose Max!! Grin

Pipilangstrumpf · 01/02/2017 09:37

I'd avoid Penny & Albie/Monty, too cutesy and rhyming imo.

I like
Penelope & Felix
Penelope & Reuben
Penelope & Quentin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/02/2017 10:25

Max.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/02/2017 10:28

Lenny and Penny. That's just too adorable.
I also like Penny and Albie

Purplebluebird · 01/02/2017 11:37

Leonard? ;)

I like Felix.

KlingybunFistelvase · 01/02/2017 12:30

I love Felix and Otto. They both go great with Penelope too I think.

IceLemonGin · 01/02/2017 12:33

I have a Penelope and I'm pregnant with DC2 so I'm watching with interest!

Raines100 · 01/02/2017 12:36

Felix

donquixotedelamancha · 01/02/2017 12:42

Parker.

babyblabber · 01/02/2017 12:47

I'm having a section next week and Penelope is our chosen girl's name (I think, still worried its a bit too long!). Last night I dreamt that they found two babies in their (told me one was hiding during my scans!!) and the second twin was a boy, so Luca, our chosen boy's name!

So that's my suggestion from my dream twins but of your list I'd defo go for Max

Jooni · 01/02/2017 17:42

Lovely names, I especially like Felix. Good luck with the twins!

midsomermurderess · 01/02/2017 20:07

I'd avoid 'y' ending names, else it sounds a bit twee, so Felix, Max or Otto for me.

Rainbow728 · 01/02/2017 20:15

I know of twins called Max and Penny

CyrilSneer30 · 01/02/2017 21:45

Love love love Felix! Your shortlist is almost identical to ours - we ended up going with Caspar as he was born on Christmas Day.

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 01/02/2017 22:14

Seth
Christopher (Kit and Penny sounds v cute together)
Fred

I like Max and Felix best from your list.
