A name for the twin

Hello everyone. We recently just found out I'm pregnant with twins at an early scan and we already have names for boy/girl Isaac/Emilia and girl/girl Emilia/Ember, but need a name for boy/boy Isaac/??

Have you got any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

What about Emilio?

MerryMarigold · 02/02/2019 09:54

I wouldn't do emilia and ember. Way too similar.

MerryMarigold · 02/02/2019 09:55

Or isaac and isaiah?!!

@Festive Nah, I do love the name Emil (not Emilio) but if we have a girl later on we want her to be called Emilia.

Newton?

Sorry 🤣

Reuben isn’t a bad option. They’re balanced and equally non nicknamey.

Not keen on Reuben.

Some of the others will be a bit too hard for Danes to pronounce. Rory and Ethan especially

Isaac and Edward.

With the G/G pair, I'd use names with different initials to help other people see them as two individuals and avoid the "Miss E Surname" muddles on correspondence. Maybe Emilia/ Amber or Amelia/ Ember?

(DM and I have very similar names. Every single time, the doctor would have the wrong notes, but at least we could clarify by giving our date of birth, which wouldn’t help your twins.)

Amber is nicer than Ember. Ember is something that is dying.

@NewName I'm not too concerned about the names sounding a bit similar. I also have a name that begins with an E. I suppose for some it can be a minor annoyance but I don't see it as a big problem really.

I do like Aaron but it's going to be difficult for Danes to pronounce (We live in Denmark)
Oliver and Jacob I quite like.
Edward is interesting but sounds terrible in Danish.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys, keep it up!

So far liking Alexander, Oliver and Jacob.

As a twin with twins of my own please think carefully about initials matching.... post/doctor hospital/bank accounts letter and registration can be a nightmare if both twins have same initial , same birthdays and same address.... often before marriage were my 'notes" pulled up with my sister's Info on them, despite having TWIN written in marker pen across the front

Please, not Ember!
In English, Embers are what is left in a fire when it's about to go out!
