Oh, I'd say River and Jesse actually!

Apresshampooing · 18/07/2018 19:21

Out of those six, I think Jesse and Spencer are the least bad.

A lot of your names I consider to be 'naughty boy names' though. Especially Jaxxon, Jayden, Junior, Ryley and Jaylon. They all have very negative connotations for me.

And I think River is a bit wet and pathetic for a boy.

Sugamoma1 · 18/07/2018 19:23

I like Jaxon and Jesse! Or Jude and jaxon Smile

Jamboree05 · 18/07/2018 19:25

I second river and Jesse.

Hate jaxxon...

Reaa · 18/07/2018 19:25

Jae and Jax

Reaa · 18/07/2018 19:26

Ruben & Riley

Reaa · 18/07/2018 19:27

Mitchell & Malachi

daisypond · 18/07/2018 19:27

Spencer and Jesse are best out of your new list. Please not Junior - that's not a proper name for anyone -it's like you couldn't be bothered to think of one.

strawberrypenguin · 18/07/2018 19:28

Jonah and Jesse from your list

Reaa · 18/07/2018 19:29

Jonah & Jonathan

strawberrypenguin · 18/07/2018 19:29

Oh / if you're happy to mix I'd go for Stanley and Jacob :)

Reaa · 18/07/2018 19:30

Phoenix and Blaze

Dontrocktheboat · 18/07/2018 19:31

Jonah, Jacob, Samuel, Reuben and at a push Stanley are all good names and work in any combination (twin names don't have to match).

Others not to my taste, particularly Jayden, and Jaxxon is frankly terrible.

Dontrocktheboat · 18/07/2018 19:33

Actually, Jesse is nice too!

badg3r · 18/07/2018 19:33

Spencer and Riley. I don't like river with the surname Brown. Also the initial S and R kind of match in that they are consecutive letters in the alphabet.

badg3r · 18/07/2018 19:34

Mackenzie and Malachi if you like matching names maybe?

Lobsterquadrille2 · 18/07/2018 19:44

Stanley and Jacob are the nicest in my view.

AnyaMoondial · 18/07/2018 20:02

Spencer and Jesse sound really good together! Good luck op!

booniloo · 18/07/2018 20:04

Spencer and Jesse is nice and I quite like River and Jaxxon together but would spell it as Jackson.

Reaa · 18/07/2018 20:30

Xavier and Xander

ErrantBakedBean · 18/07/2018 20:39

As others have said, Spencer and Jesse sound great together. I also really like when the second twin has their name first in the alphabet / on the register. Means they get to be ahead on something - seems to make a difference when you're a kid!

ElsieLee · 18/07/2018 22:17

To keep everyone updated I am on my way to the hospital and my waters have broke eeeek!!! Can't wait to see Bump 1 and Bump too I have decided on their names so i will update everyone soon

Shan't comment on names as our tastes as very different! But am v excited for you and wish you a speedy and happy delivery. Enjoy your babies!!!

Joeybee · 18/07/2018 23:45

Jayden & Jaxxon- Too popular/common
Jacob & Jason - Love this combo.
Jonah & Jesse - Not a fan of Jesse
Junior & Jaylon- too...I dunno, American. I just don't like.
Samuel & Serigo- LOVE Samuel. Sergio is great if you have Latin heritage.
Spencer & Stanley - OMG yes!
River & Ruben - Too hippy-ish
Ryley & Rylan - NO

Iyla · 19/07/2018 05:40

Liking Ruben and Jesse Brown, not a fan of matchy matchy or even same syllable names.

Wishing you all the best whatever you decide!!
