Are the names interchangeable or set as twin names?

Tavannach · 17/03/2019 02:57

Well, you can't have David and Cameron.

Edward Arthur
Joseph Matthew (I prefer Joseph James)

Karbones · 17/03/2019 03:03

I want a James Arthur, X Factor winners need worship too :)

BikeRunSki · 17/03/2019 03:05

Are these pairs of twin names, or first name-middle name ideas?

You can’t have John and Thomas!

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 17/03/2019 03:30

Definetly don't have John and Thomas!!

Nathan and Cameron are nice imo.

Shadow1234 · 17/03/2019 07:36

John Thomas is really a no no.

Nathan and Vincent

Shadow1234 · 17/03/2019 07:38

Or is that meant to be Nathan Vincent (as in first name and middle name?)

Petalflowers · 17/03/2019 07:40

Good list of names.

You don’t have to decide now. Why don’t you wait until the babies are born, and then just see what suits them?

BlueMerchant · 17/03/2019 07:42

If I could mix it up I'd have an Owen and a Thomas.
With middle names I'd have
Owen James
Thomas Arthur

wizzler · 17/03/2019 07:42

Nathan and Edward
.. can I add Matthew as a suggestion too?

MsMustDoBetter · 17/03/2019 07:47

Not keen on Nathan or Cameron, but the rest are all great.

MercyBodle · 17/03/2019 08:27

I'd cross off the 2 dislike - Nathan and Owen. And you can't have David and Cameron together. My favourite pair is Thomas John and Edward Arthur.

Sessy19 · 17/03/2019 08:28

Nathan and Cameron are the least boring if your list!

Chocolatecake12 · 17/03/2019 08:31

Edward and Joseph

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 17/03/2019 08:31

Are you happy to mix up the middle names?

My choice would be Cameron James & Joseph Vincent

I really like Owen too but combined with Cameron it sounds to surnamey/ politiciany Grin

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 17/03/2019 08:56

Definetly don't have John and Thomas!!

Nathan and Cameron are nice imo.

Sophronia · 17/03/2019 08:57

Thomas and either David or Joseph

Icklepup · 17/03/2019 12:10

Edward Arthur
Joseph Matthew

Stinkytoe · 17/03/2019 12:12

I didn’t have names ready for my twins when they were born and it got very confusing with who was who!

I like Thomas John and Joseph Matthew, would you have Tom and Joe?

SweetbutaPsycho · 17/03/2019 14:02

Edward Arthur is my favourite it flows very nicely and both names are lovely. I also really like Cameron James and Joseph Matthew. Cant decide between the two!

SweetbutaPsycho · 17/03/2019 14:03

Joseph Vincent is lovely.. Good call!

Barbarafromblackpool · 17/03/2019 14:04

Thomas and Edward

daisypond · 17/03/2019 14:10

David, Thomas and Edward are my favourites.

Hazytimes · 17/03/2019 15:42

I also like Thomas John and Joseph Matthew. I agree- don’t wait until after they’re born, you have too much to deal with at that time. I also don’t believe in a baby hours/days old looking like a name. Choosing names may feel just like added stress, I wish we had finalised beforehand!

questabellatreetop · 17/03/2019 15:44

Joseph and George
