Hi! My boy/boy twins will be making an appearance in less than 3 weeks and we only have one name 😩

Another vote for Troy

Wow, thanks girls! Loads of food for thought, twin number 1 will be Tommy. Should have said also, a lot of the names we did like have been used by family or close friends! We're a bit older and late to the party! 😂

Going to have a proper look through the suggestions now - will let you know if we have a winner! 🤞

Would you do Thomas for the BC and Tommy for short?

Names that go with that
Timothy (Tom and Tim lol)
James
Roger

Fred or George.

Tommy and Fred
Tommy and George (my uncles names - and they were the best of friends all their lives)

Fred or George.

Tommy and Fred
Tommy and George (my uncles names - and they were the best of friends all their lives)

Yes, Thomas for bc but Tommy in real life lol! I really like Roger, but DH isn't a fan 👎

So far I like Jake, Joe and Max - I think I'm waiting for one I totally love, but that might not happen.

Did anyone else pick a name they 'quite liked' but then it grew on them?

Oh @Hepzibar I love Fred and George, but DH isn't keen on Fred 😢 and my DD is Georgie! (Georgina)

Joe
John
George
Paul
Pat
Ray
Ralph
Ben
Bob
Rob

James/Jim

@Beth804 Tommy and George's father was Joe (Joseph). I'll give you the whole family of brothers - there's got to be one here - I feel it 😀

Matt (Matthew), Joss (Josiah), Sam (Samuel) Josh (Joshua) Bill (William) and Hopper (not sure where that came from!)

Roger, known as Bob. I knew a Bob when we were in our teens. His name suited him perfectly.

Lee
Paul
Mark
James
Jim
Kirk
Kurt
Carl
Sean/Shaun
Roy - I know 2 young Roys.
Clark
Luke
Craig

I'm thinking if you're already shortening Thomas to Tommy, you're not adverse to considering that type of name for twin 2. So;

Bob (Robert)

Peter (Pete)
John/Jon (Jonathon)
Zac (Issac)
Ashley (Ash)
Anthony/Antony (Ant)
Joshua (Josh)
Joseph (Joe)
Philip (Phil)
Christopher (Chris)
Daniel (Dan)
Bart (Bartholemew)
Max (Maximus/Maxwell/Maximilian)
Drew (Andrew)
Luke (Lucas)
Will/Bill (William).

@beth804 - James was the name we picked for our eldest son. We struggled to think of boys names we really liked and it was one we both agreed on and was a 'nice enough' name. It very much was his name from the moment he arrived. Although interestingly when it came to registering him and eventually his younger brother, we added a second middle name on a spur of the moment decision at the registrars office. Not that either would ever have had these additions as first names. But it amuses me that we did this for the boys and not our girls. Our girls were always going to be the first name we picked.

Tommy and Paul
Tommy and Joel
Tommy and Noah

Thomas and Stephen
Thomas and William
Thomas and Joshua
Thomas and Finley (Finn as the shortened form, not Lee)
Thomas and Benjamin
Thomas and Nicholas
