Thinking about names for twins (a boy and a girl!) but need opinions or suggestions.
So far we like Atticus and Audrey or Lennon and Marlowe.
Thoughts on which pair of names sounds better?? We also need middle names!

As pp have said names starting with the same initials is a big mistake and Audrey is dreadful and dowdy .

My twins have the same first initial. Unfortunately they have a lot of medical and therapy appointments. Post has never been an issue - almost everything has their full first name - but medical records is a massive pain. Stuff frequently getting added to the wrong twin’s notes, the wrong twin’s records being pulled up etc. Would probably do it differently if I could but to be honest they were the only two boys names we liked‘

just so you know I think Atticus is one of the most popular names of 2020, great name thought

Lennon and Marlowe.

Lennox and Merryn
Leon and Meryl

Lawrence and Maria?

From your list Atticus and Marlowe are my favourites. Although Marlow is a town near here.

Audrey reminds me of my Nannie and she's a dowdy old woman

My friend has a son called Lennon and a dog called Marley so Lennon and Marlow are a little too close to that (although unless you also know them its not an issue Grin)

I wouldn't choose the first names with the same initial..I think matching initial middle names would be fine to give them a link.

Audrey and Caspian
Audrey and Leander
Audrey and Wilfred
Audrey and Hector

I love Marlowe but not the other names on your list.

Suggestions
Caspar and Marlowe
Albert and Marlowe
Jack and Marlowe
Wilfred and Marlowe

What about miles, Ziggy , Otto , Toby & Audrey? Really dislike the other names Audrey is quite nice though ... congratulations on your twins x
