So girls we have:
Emily
Annie
Rosie
Clarabel

And boys are:
Edward
Gordon
Henry

I'm not sure which sound the best combinations together. What do you all think or any further suggestions?

Congratulations!

Love all the names

I think pick combos with the same number of syllables

Mistletoekids · 25/04/2017 20:31

I quite like Henry and Clara

MelinaMercury · 25/04/2017 20:33

Haha i was just about to ask if you realised they were all Thomas related then i noticed your username :o

April241 · 25/04/2017 20:33

I like Edward/Henry and Annie, Edward/Henry and Rosie.

Do you like Katie? That would also be lovely with Edward or Henry. Congratulations! I also have twins Smile

What's wrong with Thomas? Wink

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 25/04/2017 20:35

Or Rheneas and Skarloey.

If you want double barrelled, what about Peter-Sam?

LPLPLP · 25/04/2017 20:42

Just choose the names you like most. They will grow into individuals and lose the twinness at some point but will always have a name their parents love. I would however avoid same letter at the start for practical admin reasons when they share DOB.

scotchpie · 25/04/2017 20:47

What about

Toby
Harold
Diesel

Wingingit88 · 25/04/2017 20:53

I love Rosie and Henry or Rosie and Harry

Congrats Flowers

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/04/2017 20:56

I think you should use them all

Edward Gordon Henry & Emily Rosie Clarabel

You could leave out Annie (save it for dc3)

Sodor · 25/04/2017 21:10

Is Bertie just not 'in' yet then? OH is a real fan but I'm not sure I could risk derailing his chances in life if that's the case.

I'm a non-identical twin myself (and funnily enough have the fourth name on your girl's list - have always loved my name so would definitely recommend it!).

From my experience, it doesn't matter one jot whether the names go together or not. Your choices are all lovely and fit in a similar demographic anyway. Just choose the names you love for the little individuals you're going to have. They may like to have slightly jarring names anyway because it makes them feel less like 'The Twins'.

Congratulations btw - it makes me smile to think of your future. Am sure you'll find it tough at times but being a twin feels so special (discounting the fighting middle years of course!). Good luck Grin

birdspooping · 25/04/2017 21:37

Sorry *i have the third name on your list!

MelinaMercury · 25/04/2017 22:14

Derailing :o

Sorry, your puns are knocking me off track.

BoboBunnyH0p · 25/04/2017 22:40

Why not Jeremy everyone forgets him.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/04/2017 08:22

I like Henry and Anna (Annie), or Henry and Rosalie (Rosie).
