Hi - have posted on here before about names for identical twin boys who are due to make an appearance shortly but husband and I are still no closer to having any favourites and it's starting to stress me out a little!Will be brothers to Toby (Tobias).

List currently is:
Felix
Oscar
Zachary
Caleb
Alistair
Nathaniel - love this but surname begins with 'n' and ends in 'l', so thinks it is prob too much
Jasper - husband not a fan
Ezra
Otis
Frederick

Like but can't use for various reasons:
Sebastian
Louis

Would be grateful if you have any favourites from our list or new suggestions?!

My favourites are Alistair (but prefer Alasdair spelling) and Frederick.

I like all of the others apart from Felix, Ezra and Otis.

Another suggestion: Patrick?

But Flowers Flowers whatever you decide. When are the little miracles due to join us, and will you please share the good news and the names?

ChocolateCrunch · 18/12/2017 20:26

I like Felix and Oscar from your list, and I like how they sound with Toby

CyrilSneer30 · 18/12/2017 20:30

We had Felix, Tobias and Oscar on our list when DS2 joined us last year, we have a Theodore and a Caspar

fullofwonder · 18/12/2017 20:31

Thanks everyone. Felix is one of my favourites but I know everyone always mentions the cat food. Not sure that bothers me though!

Patrick is nice - definitely a possible.

Twins are due at the end of next month.

Max and Otis

OublietteBravo · 18/12/2017 21:00

There are twins called Felix and Rufus at DS's school. I quite like the combination.

junebirthdaygirl · 18/12/2017 21:03

Felix and Oscar would be strange for older people due to programme Odd Couple when we were young. But either on its own is lovely. Love Nathaniel but understand not suitable. Alistair is great

INeedToEat · 18/12/2017 21:06

Toby, Evan and Zachary.
Toby, Otis and Zachary.

I don't really think any of the other names on your list 'fit' with Toby/Tobias.

eggandchips5 · 18/12/2017 21:08

Love Felix, Jasper and Otis.

holidayqueriwifi · 18/12/2017 21:12

Toby, Max and Felix.

Toby, Jonty and Leo

buckleten · 18/12/2017 21:14

Theo, Fergus, Hugo, Felix, Oscar, Luca, Hugh, Arthur.

Mugshotzforlunch · 18/12/2017 21:21

Tobias, Alistair and Frederick
Tobias, Alistair and Zachary

Not keen on your other choices.

Maybe Alistair and Alexander. If you don't mind the AA

Petalflowers · 18/12/2017 21:28

Maximilian (Max)
Samuel
Marcus
Lawrence
Rupert
Julian
Dominic

userabcname · 19/12/2017 04:36

I like Zachary and Felix! I always think if I ever had twin boys I would call them Zachary and Ezekiel nn Zac and Zeke!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/12/2017 06:09

Tobias, Zachary and Caleb.😄

fullofwonder · 19/12/2017 10:40

Oh thank you everyone!

Evan is great - had totally forgotten how much I like it

Would it go with Oscar or Zachary?

horatioisabrick · 19/12/2017 11:39

Evan goes with Oscar and Zachary imo.
Alistair, Ezra, Nathaniel and Frederick are lovely imo. You might also like David, Ezra, Peter, Philip, Cormac, Edwin and Cole.

MrsMozart · 19/12/2017 11:41

Felix and Oscar.

Didn't think of the cat food!

Erica891 · 19/12/2017 11:55

Caleb and Oscar for me :)

fullofwonder · 19/12/2017 12:13

Two names are so hard but I think we're narrowing it down!!

Alistair
Caleb
Zachary
Oscar
Felix - still hanging on to this one!
Evan - new entry!

Thanks so much for all your help. Going to speak to the husband tonight. Will be middle names after that!!
