Quinn and Castiel

[SleepingStandingUp]

Or
Icarus and Ignatius

Identical twin boys

Thoughts or suggestions?

I dislike all of them. Sorry 😐

Agree, don't like them either, way too try hard.

Quinn and Castiel! is a supernatural fan but the only problem is that phones auto correct Quinn to Stink

The Josiah I know is called Joss, not Joe.

I still don't get the try hard comments. The only thing I'm trying to do is find two nice names DH and I both like and want to be calling ir kids by for the next 60 years

@user1493494961 ah that's a good point

Quintus and Clovis
Quintus and Cassius
Quintus and Casca

I like Quinn but prefer Quentin. I've never heard of Castiel but understand how it's pronounced.How about Cassius or Caspar?

I'd also give your twins separate initials.

Erskine and Horacio
Ignatius and Horacio
Hector and Icarus?
I do think the two Names should have different sounds and different starting letters but if you want an out there name then they really need to both have out there names. You can’t really have Tom and Bartholemeu.

How about Cassius or Caspar?

Cannot sell DH on Cassius at all, too many s sounds apparently. And Caspar/er will always be a friendly ghost, friends with Hairy Scary and the kid who played Wednesday. I don't care what deeper cultural significance it has, he's a ghost lol

Just being honest, OP. However, if we are going down the unusual names route, might I suggest Peregrine?

If you’re going to go down the classical names route, at least try and pick ones that have a semi happy ending! Icarus is not a great namesake. (Although not as bad as Lily Allen calling her kid Phaedra)

And Castiel is no good unless you’re a MASSIVE Supernatural fan (and even then I’d suggest Robert or Samuel)

@ViserionTheDragon 😂😂😂😂. I said it out load and NO! Just NO!

@ViserionTheDragon I wasn't questioning the honesty of your opinion, simply saying it's a statement I've never understood. Surely we all try hard to pick a nice name for our child otherwise the world would be full of Sharon and Derek's.

Peregrine is def far too posh!!

@riotladyno Sam or Jenson, no naming babies after people we fancy 😂

It wouldn't be this blooming hard if thry were girls!!!!

@Brot . This thread remimnded me of whrn I was listening to The Allusionist podcast and one particular epsisode was about people with unusual names and how their lives were shaped by them. There was a chap on it called Peregrine. I would highly recommend it to the OP for inspiration...

Whrn = when

OP, do twins run in your family? If not, I would really encourage you to find some adult identical twins and talk to them, perhaps via a forum. It is really hard to forge your own identity as an identical twin. People are really shit at learning to tell them apart and with boys there are fewer tricks to make it easier when they are in school uniform (compared to hair accessories etc for girls).

Please consider giving them names which complement each other but do not match. Please give them their own initial. You and DH might have to compromise a little on your ideal names in consideration of what your boys’ experience will be like as they grow up.

I have taken into consideration the comment Re initials,. Most of the name pairs we liked don't match and our girls names don't. It certainly isn't part of the plan however much I like Xantge and Xerses

PS the Josiah I know goes by Jed, which is also a nice name in its own right.

Finn and Quinn?

No rhyming names

Love your comment that Peregrine is too posh, the others seem to be too.

I definitely wouldn't have alliterations in their names (both beginning with the same letter), they won't than you for it.

I like Tristan the best out of the ones you've mentioned.

@ViserionTheDragon . I love this thread and cannot wait to see which name's OP ends up with. Peregrine still makes me chuckle. Thanks.

@Brot64 possibly Boy1 and Bpy2!!

Lots of people have suggested Tristan and it's on our list but it seems a bit of a floppy name
