Name for twin 2

14 replies

So we are expecting twin boys, and we've already found a name for one of them, although I am reluctant to put it here as it is an unusual (Danish) name and I'd rather not be recognised in here by my DP's English family.

So we need some inspiration, but we have some issues as my Danish side of the family should be able to pronounce the name, therefore names with "th" or a thick "r" are out of the question basically, like Matthew and Rory for example. It'll be nearly impossible for Danes to pronounce.

Can you guys please help with some names?

If one has a Danish name, shouldn't the other one too?
I don't know many, but Jonas or Andreas?

The Irish Manus is derived from the same roots as the Scandinavian Magnus & might be a good fit for everyone.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I do like Magnus but my DP doesn't like the way it's pronounced in English. Also it's super close to my nephew's name.

I personally don't care about matching names so the other name doesn't have to be Danish as well but I don't mind if it is XD if you can, please keep suggesting names. We need all the help we can get.
(Alexander, Daniel, Elias, Noah and Jacob are actually on our list of potentials)

I do love Andreas but a family member's deceased baby boy was named that and I don't want to use it for that reason.
