Hello, I am a new Mum and expecting twins on 29th September. And my of a dh shrugs at every bloody name suggestion. Ideas would be handy. We both like Herbie, Edwin ‘Ned’ and Solomon ‘Sollie/Sol’ for boys and Dora, Marie and Honor for girls.

Herbie and Solomon are great names
I know 1 sol and 2 herbies

All nice kids

Marie and honor are both strong girl names.
Dora seems a bit "less" somehow.

I'm due a boy in December and we have decided to call him Solomon. So obviously love that name. (It's come up a few times recently and I'm hoping it's not going to be the next 'Noah', my other boys name 🙄)

If I had twins I'd probably do the alliteration thing (is that twee?)

are you having boy/girl twins?

Don’t do the same initial as that’s a nightmare for post when they’re older. Name the second born twin higher up the alphabet so they go first in registers at school etc, if they can’t be born first ha ha!
We have 5 year-old non ID twin boys. Twins are ace, but make sure you’ve got lots of help lined up in the early days as it’s not easy. Good luck! Do you know what you’re having? Are they identical? Or separate sacs/placentas etc?

Congratulations on your twins 🙂

Edwin is great (LOVE Ned), really like Solomon too. I think I'd be tempted to go for Herb or Herbert instead of Herbie, just because it's a bit less cutesie as an adult, and then use Herbie as a nickname.

I think Marie is beautiful and really like Honor too.

Suggestions:
Silas
Clement
Frederick

Clara
Elise
Colette
Constance

I'm also due boy/girl twins and have the same issue with DH who vetoes every name suggestion I've given so far 🤷‍♀️

I like

Edwin
Solomon (bit iffy on this one - depends on your surname)

Hate Herbie

Like all the girls names

MikeUniformMike · 07/09/2020 19:48

Herbie - no
Edwin - yes but Ed not ‘Ned’, definitely not Ned
Solomon - yes, but Solly not Sollie

Dora - not keen
Honor - yes but depends on surname
Marie - yes

MikeUniformMike · 07/09/2020 19:49

Ned and Herbert are insults.

Ricekrispie22 · 07/09/2020 20:08

Wilbur and Sidney
Percy and Wilf
Monty and Jago
Jasper and Milo

Fearne and Hazel
Thea and Connie
Mabel and Nancy
