Me and DH are expecting twins (boy&girl) and wanted to know what your thoughts were on these name pairs. (We want them to have the same letter)
DS- klaus
DD- Kitty

DS-Elijah
DD-Eden

DS-Sully
DD- Star or Sabrina

Thought or ideas??

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
Tillygetsit · 13/08/2020 22:44

I wouldn't use the same initial for twins personally.

Rosecottage888 · 13/08/2020 22:48

Klaus and Kitty ADORABLE 😍

Enderman · 13/08/2020 23:26

Star is terrible as a name. Klaus and Kitty is best out of the choices but I’m not keen on the same letter thing.

worstwitch18 · 13/08/2020 23:30

Klaus - nice
Kitty - a nickname, I would use Katherine nn Kitty.

Elijah - nice
Eden - ok

Sully - ok
Star - no
Sabrina - nice

GinWithRosie · 13/08/2020 23:32

Sully like from Monsters Inc? I thought that was made up πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

The only name from your list that I even vaguely like is Kitty...and that would be for my cat, not for my child.

None of them are names I'd pick, sorry...and definitely no 'same letter' stuff.

As someone with twin siblings I really wouldn't go out of my way to give them "matchy" names and/or initials.

They absolutely HATE being lumped together as "the twins" and being expected to match up with each other. They don't see themselves as part of a set, they just happen to be siblings who shared a womb!

Elijah and Eden are the nicest of your list but seriously, there are so many nice names out there. Just choose 2 you like and forget the initials.

june2007 · 13/08/2020 23:43

Sully is Awful i knew 1 sully who was given that name by his 3-year-old brother. But even in Monsters Sully was actually called James.

Kitty I wouldn,t use in it,s own right but Catherine is nice and then Kitty for short.

Star is too hippyish.

ldnstb123 · 13/08/2020 23:44

Sully and Star and so unusual and trendy sounding... I love x

danascully96 · 14/08/2020 00:00

Elijah and Eden

BruceAndMarley · 14/08/2020 00:04

I like Elija and Eden, I just think when they’re older and applying for job applications would they appreciate being called star, sully , Klaus or Kitty?
But it is your choice at the end of the day!
Do you definitely want matching initials ?
If so ;
Elija and Eden are lovely
Ezra and Ellie
Ronan and Riley
If not ;
Wren & Ava
Oliver and Molly
Rowan & Emma

Sully as in to defile or make dirty? Mmm, not my style anyway.

I like Klaus.

daisypond · 14/08/2020 00:41

Klaus and Kitty are best, but as short forms for their longer versions Nicholas and Katherine.
I like Sabrina. Sully means dirty. It’s a no go.

worstwitch18 · 14/08/2020 00:41

oops I deleted part of my post. It was meant to say:

Sully - ok as a nickname, wouldn't use it as a proper first name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/08/2020 01:01

Elijah and Eden

LegoMam · 14/08/2020 01:02

I like Klaus and Kitty. I’m a bit biased because I know a lady called Kitty and she’s the nicest person you could ever meet.
I like Star too..reminds me of The Lost Boys movie!

Grufallosfriends · 14/08/2020 07:49

Klaus is very old fashioned and the opposite of adorable!

But I agree - avoid the same initials

zigaziga · 14/08/2020 08:50

Isn’t Sully normally a nickname for people whose surname is Sullivan?

I’m not a big fan of surnames as first names but Sullivan as a first name is better than Sully.

Please not Star!

Elijah and Eden are my favourite from your list.

IckleBear · 14/08/2020 09:38

Wouldn't go for same initials..
Elijah and Alessia?

MinnieJackson · 14/08/2020 09:41

I think I'd give the boy Eden and the girl something like Emme. But I'm not sure on the same first letter either

RowboatsinDisguise · 14/08/2020 09:51

I like your boys names but I’m not so keen on the girls names. Klaus and Kitty is the best though.

How about:
Klaus and...
Kiri
Karina
Katya

Elijah and...
Eloise
Emilia
Esther
Emma
Elsie

Sully and...
Sabine
Seren
Sadie
Sienna

userabcname · 14/08/2020 09:55

Klaus and Kitty gets my vote.
Or Klaus and Sabrina if you decide against the same initial.

DoTheMaccaroni · 14/08/2020 09:56

Elijah and Eden by miles!!!

Feralkidsatthecampsite · 14/08/2020 09:58

Mostly look like cat names to me...

DoTheMaccaroni · 14/08/2020 09:59

Sully like from Monsters Inc? I thought that was made up πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ sorry this made me laugh! Deffo not made up. It’s short for Sullivan. I know of a few in really life! Lovely name ❀️
