mumjack11 · 09/01/2022 20:30

Forgot to say - our surname is Jack!

Your surname would rule out any J names for me as I'm not keen alliteration.

From your list I like Daisy & Theo.

Congrats!

Love your shortlists. Imo if you stick with classic names like those you can pick any two once they're here and it'll sound a good combination. That said I'd avoid going for b/g twins Charlotte and Charlie!

Onesnowynight · 09/01/2022 20:37

Daisy and Charlotte
Theo and Jude

nuggetschicken · 09/01/2022 20:38

I love your girl names but Daisy is my favourite. I like Noah for a boy.
Would definitely avoid the Charlotte and Charlie combination.

Lou98x · 09/01/2022 20:39

I like Florence/Charlotte and Thomas, classic names than can be shortened, ie. Flossy, Charley, Tommy, so go together nicely

Nadiae · 09/01/2022 20:40

Anna and Theo.

Love Jude too but Jude Jack doesn’t really work.

Congratulations!!

wishing3 · 09/01/2022 20:41

I love Anna.

WhatsWrongWithMyUsername · 09/01/2022 20:45

Reuben Jack
Reuben and Marianne Jack

Of your list - Betsy and Noah

Spidey66 · 09/01/2022 20:50

I like all the boys names but I don't think Jude or Joseph/Joe go to great with your surname.

I like Daisy, Charlotte and Anna from your girls Anne. Betsy is ok as a nn for Elizabeth. I don't hate Florence but I prefer the other names.

Spidey66 · 09/01/2022 20:51

Ps I'd probably name Charlie Charles tbh.

Spidey66 · 09/01/2022 20:52

Girls Anne? Girls names! I've outed my own name there!

BHX3000 · 09/01/2022 20:59

Charlotte and Anna
Anna and Thomas or Theo
Thomas and Noah

CoffeeRunner · 09/01/2022 21:04

I'm not sure I'd go for Anna Jack. Although Anna is a lovely name.

From your list I'd pick:

Daisy & Florence
Thomas & Joseph
Daisy & Thomas

ISmellBurnings · 09/01/2022 21:16

I like Anna out of your girls list. Daisy and Betsy are too twee and cutsey.

The ‘J’ names won’t go with ‘Jack’.

Love Noah and Theo from your boys list.

Alwayswonderedwhy · 09/01/2022 21:19

All combinations apart from Charlotte and Charlie would work. They're all lovely names.

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/01/2022 21:42

Congratulations!

Charlotte and Florence Jack
Noah and Theo Jack
Florence and Theo Jack
Are the best combos I think - all nice

Daisy, Betsy and Charlie Jack sound like appliances and Anna Jack is too sharp. Jude, Joe or Tom Jack just sound daft - like double first names (Thomas / Tommy and Joseph will always be shortened).

Jack is a nice but quite challenging surname to match, I think you need softer sounding names of 2 or 3 syllables, avoiding a y end (unless the name is very soft), and nothing that would easily get shortened to a single syllable.

Maybe -
Miles, Nathan, Reuben, Laurence, Robert, Elliot, Elijah, Edward, Henry, Silas, Alistair, Alexander, Rufus, Barnaby/Barnabas (Barney), oliver, Lucas, Marcus, Owen, Hugo

Alice, Edith, Sophie, Louise, Chloe, Phoebe, Frances, Flora, Sarah, Constance, Clara, Emmeline, Caroline, Marianne, Meredith, Evelyn, Rachel, Sophia, Claudia, Eleanor

LavenderRosemary · 09/01/2022 21:54

Congratulations!

My favourites from your list are Florence, Anna, Charlie and Theo. But they're all really lovely names.

Mum2Be36 · 09/01/2022 22:03

It must be so hard with twins, we’re struggling enough with one name! I think they are lovely names, Betsy would be my least favourite. I don’t think Jude or Anna sound right with your surname. Love all the others though x

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/01/2022 22:17

I like Daisy or Betsy with Florence; and Charlotte and Anna go well together.

For boys Charlie and Thomas, Jude and Theo, Joseph and Thomas

Mixed I like Daisy and Jude or Florence and Joseph

littlebilliie · 09/01/2022 22:17

I would go with a longer name I you have a short surname

Clementine Jack
Sebastian Jack

Gwendoline Jack
Harrison Jack

Pineapples9087 · 09/01/2022 23:07

Girl/girl twins - Daisy and Anna

Boy/boy twins - Noah and Jude

Girl/boy twins - Daisy and Noah

Congratulations x

babiesof2022 · 10/01/2022 09:04

Daisy and Charlotte for girls

babiesof2022 · 10/01/2022 09:05

I'm afraid I'm not keen on your boys names but at a push Jude

So daisy and Jude or Charlotte and Jude
