We want names that aren't too common but not too strange either and that sound nice together. The middle names will be Andrew and Matthew and both with the surname Calvin.

Was just wondering your opinions on the names we like and which middle name they sound best with and also any suggestions you have!

  • Hunter
  • Levi
  • Mason
  • Luca
  • Harvey

Hunter Andrew and Luca Matthew!

Lovely middle names. Congrats on the twins!

Cbeebiesrehab · 03/01/2019 22:42

I wouldn’t have Hunter and Levi together as they are both popular brand names

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/01/2019 23:02

Harvey Andrew and Luca Matthew.
Suggestion,
Hudson Matthew and Reid Andrew.

The middle names are good, inoffensive names.

First names depend on what you want to achieve.

Hunter and Mason are not good first names, IMO. They are surnames, not first names. Harvey is not much better. I would avoid any names that sound like surnames, personally. Calvin is a great surname!

Levi and Luca are both tolerable. Though I am possibly a hopeless case, as all my DC's names were listed on the recent 'pretentious names' thread which was deleted {think: Horatio and similar Grin).

I like Andrew and Matthew but I’m not keen on any of the first names you listed.

How about...

Henry
Leo
Miles
Lucas
Harry
James
Luke

Luca and Harvey

The middle names are great and your first name ideas are lovely too but I wouldn't put luca and Levi or hunter and Harvey together as they're a bit samey. I think it's important for siblings, especially for twins, to have their own distinct names so they don't feel like they're part of a set.
Some other ideas:
Potter Mathew Calvin
Jenson Andrew Calvin

Hunter is awful. I can't imagine why hunting is considered a positive connotation in a name.

Ricekrispie22 · 04/01/2019 05:14

Asher and Brodie

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/01/2019 05:22

Luca is the best.

The only last name I like as a first name is Archer. Any good?

kenandbarbie · 04/01/2019 07:33

Lovely middle names.

Redskyandrainbows67 · 04/01/2019 07:35

I like Andrew and Matthew as first names! And these names meet your criteria of known but uncommon - I’ve never met a baby called either!!

Redskyandrainbows67 · 04/01/2019 07:36

Ps sorry but I hate your first names - they sound chavvy

WrapAndRoll · 04/01/2019 09:03

From your list: Mason Andrew, Luca Matthew

Ryan Matthew, Jacob Andrew
Daniel Matthew, Thomas Andrew
Isaac Matthew, George Andrew
Connor Matthew, Niall Andrew

Icklepup · 04/01/2019 09:10

Harvey Andrew
Luca Matthew

flumpybear · 04/01/2019 09:14

Before I saw your names the two that popped into my head were Hunter a d Cameron.

Love Luca with Hunter though - or Lucian if you wanted it longer ?

IggyAce · 04/01/2019 09:23

I prefer Lucian to Luca and think it goes well with Ezekiel, so have nn of Luca and Zeke. So I would say Lucian Matthew and Ezekiel Andrew.
