Identical twins boys

DD is Nora so would like the same sort of genre. Middle names will be Eric and Samuel. Genuinely at a loss. DH doesn’t want anything in the top 50 for first names. I like Joseph but it’s so popular it seems.

A couple I know had identical twin girls and their names are anagrams of each other which is actually very sweet, they are both independent names (don't rhyme or sound alike) so it's not the first thing you notice, but I think it's lovely! Not that I have any to suggest... love Angus and Fergus though

As they’re identical give the second born a name nearer the beginning of the alphabet, or at least higher than his twin. Our twins start M&P, P was born first, but M will be first in class lists etc. Congrats. Twins are ace!

I wouldn't worry about popularity chances are if you choose a less common name there will be another in their class 🤣 Joseph isn't that common.
