Please give your honest opinions. Pregnant with twin boys stuck on names that are pairs and middle names. Want to go with something 'cool' but not 'chavy'. Please give opinions.

Max
Leo
Rory
Brodie
Dylan
Flynn
Arlo
Otis
Frankie
Luca

You asked for honesty..
Max - not bad
Leo -no
Rory-no
Brodie-no
Dylan-meh
Flynn- bit insipid? Better than Finn though
Arlo- jury's out on this - great for toddlers, maybe great for 50 year olds
Otis - as above
Frankie - a diminutive for a full first name is never a great idea in my opinion
Luca - do you legitimately have some kind of tie to a country where this may link to? Like Italy? Better if so. If not, it's still nice as has a nice meaning

So, Max and Frank
Arlo and Luca

Or an alternative - something tremendously un-hip but classic like Jonathan & Nicholas 'Nico and Jonny'

Oh FFS, some people are seriously over exaggerating why you can't pick a name.

Brodie because of Home and Away?! She was a pretty insignificant character!

I actually quite like Brodie OP, and no its not chavvy.

Also really like Rory and Flynn.

Not 100% certain but was told at the scan they thought they were fraternal. Guess we will see when they come out.... Have some other names on the go now if people have any thoughts;

Angus
Caspar
Henry
Silas

I have a Luca so love that name but think Arlo and Flynn gonreally well together.

Icklepup · 31/01/2019 06:44

Now I say Otis and Silas :)

I like Leo and Rory. A nice lion theme without being too overt.

MrsEricBana · 31/01/2019 07:03

All nice though Arlo too try hard for me. Max & Leo leapt out as working on all levels.

tammytoby · 31/01/2019 09:30

Arlo too try hard for me.

Trying too hard to what?! To choose a lovely interesting name?

Great list, and congratulations! My favourite pairings:
Rory & Flynn
Brodie & Dylan
Frankie & Luca
