I only like River and Ruben

mothertobe789 · 18/07/2018 18:07

Out of the names youve mentioned i like Jacob & Jaxxon the best!
I think Riley and Rylan are far too similar.
Good luck, hope you dont have tok much longer to wait for your little boys x

t3xa · 18/07/2018 18:12

Jaxxon and jaylon are super naf imo. I assume serigo should be Sergio, if not, serigo is 100% not my cup of tea either

ElsieLee · 18/07/2018 18:14

Yeah i ment to spell it Sergio aha

Jacob and Jason sound the best that go together. The others just don’t sound right

booniloo · 18/07/2018 18:17

Do they need to start with the same initials? If so then the only 1s that I would even consider are Jayden and Jaxxon or Jacod or Spencer and Stanley or Samuel.

Marcipex · 18/07/2018 18:18

Samuel and Sergio, or River and Reuben

I'm not a fan of the J names.

ElsieLee · 18/07/2018 18:20

The only reason I said same initials is because I haven't come across any i really like but I am open to any suggestions that aren't on the list too

I find it hard to pick a set that I like in total. For example, I like Jesse, but not Jonah. Jacob is nice, but it's too similar to Jason, which has also possibly dated a bit.
Spencer and Stanley are the best pair, in my opinion, and they're not too matchy-matchy.

claracluck78 · 18/07/2018 18:23

Wow, three days over due date with twins? You must be suffering in this weather, OP. I had my twins 5 weeks early and hated the summer months of pregnancy.

Having identical initials might make it harder with post and things later on in life

Good luck, OP

ElsieLee · 18/07/2018 18:24

Another reason i want same initials is the fact that their identical twins

IHeartKingThistle · 18/07/2018 18:26

Jonah and Jesse is lovely.

I don't like labelling names as 'chavvy' but that's what a LOT of people will think about Jayden and Jaxxon.

KnockMeDown · 18/07/2018 18:32

Jacob and Jonah sound good together.

Good luck Flowers

Dreamingofkfc · 18/07/2018 18:38

3 days over with twins? Wow. Fairly unusual! I wouldn't name them necessarily with same initial purely because they are identical twins.

EvenThoughYouDidCHEAT · 18/07/2018 18:38

I understand you wanting them to sound nice together, but I think some of your pairings are a bit TOO similar sounding, like Ryley & Rylan and Jacob & Jason. Too much, IMO.

Like a PP said, I think Jacob & Jonah go really well together. I also like Reuben & Riley.

ElsieLee · 18/07/2018 18:42

Because my Twins are both very healthy and don't have any complications they wouldn't induce me or let me have a C-section they said just let it happen naturally but my midwife has just let me know ill be induced in the next day or too if they don't come before

userabcname · 18/07/2018 18:44

I like Jacob and Jesse if you don't mind mixing up your pairings? Two of my favourite names!

Doilooklikeatourist · 18/07/2018 18:49

I wouldn’t go for the same initials. It’ll cause problems later when they get post for Mr R Brown
Which R Brown ?
So you’ll need different initials for the middle name
I’d go with
Jacob River
And
Sergio Jonah

Frazzled2207 · 18/07/2018 18:50

Spenser & Stanley
Jonah & Jesse

Both good
But am not keen on the repeated initials tbh.

HJL2506 · 18/07/2018 18:50

I have a Stanley! As pp have mentioned I also like one name from one set but a different name from another.

No offence but I'm not keen on same initials for children. I'm due DS2 in October and the name we live most also begins with S but we are in 2 minds about it being too matchy. (Hey will be just under 2 years apart). I put a post up on here and almost everyone picked holes in this idea. I think it will be more difficult having twins with the same initial so I'd go with the 2 names you love the most, whether they match or not.

lottiesco · 18/07/2018 18:54

I wouldn't give them similar sounding names. They need their own identity. Despite being identical they will be little people in their own right. I like Reuben and Jacob .

ElsieLee · 18/07/2018 19:07

So taking all these comments think i like the sound of these names together
River & Jaxxon
Junior & Ryley
Spencer & Jesse

OP posts:
Imhertwopennyprince · 18/07/2018 19:13

Jaxxon is dreadful
I like Jonah and Jacob

runwithme · 18/07/2018 19:16

Of those last six, I like River, Spencer and Jesse the most.

SoyDora · 18/07/2018 19:17

Of your list in like
Jonah
Jacob
Samuel
Ruben

I really wouldn’t give them the same initials. Just because they’re identical doesn’t mean they need to share an initial.
