Choose my twin boys name

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are having twin boys in a couple of weeks time. We have struggled with boys names as we could not agree but we have finally agreed on one name now, but had a three-way tie with the second name. So could you please help us choose a second name. The options are:

Adam
Harry
Owen

Please could you respond with your favourite and the name with the most votes wins!

Owen
Other 2 are way overused.

What is the name you already picked? It would influence my choice.

I would probably I like Adam the most.

Owen

Adam & Scott sounds good together Smile

Really18 · 17/02/2022 22:26

Adam means son of the red earth
Harry means one who is the ruler of an estate.
Owen means one who is of a noble birth.

Just in case it makes a difference to your choice

WeasilyPleased · 17/02/2022 22:30

Adam is my favourite from the three.

PrettyBluebells · 17/02/2022 22:33

Adam or Owen but not Harry. It's a nice name but doesn't go with Scott.

user1493494961 · 17/02/2022 22:34

I would ditch Scott and choose two of the others.

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 17/02/2022 22:37

Owen

MuchTooTired · 17/02/2022 22:41

Scott and Harry.

MuchTooTired · 17/02/2022 22:41

Congratulations on your twins though, twins are awesome!

DramaAlpaca · 17/02/2022 22:43

I know it wasn't what OP asked, but I'd ditch Scott and have Adam and Owen. They are much nicer names and go well together.

Interesting that Adam and Harry consider “overused” I know more Owens. I like Adam most. Then Owen. In my post birth stupor I considered changing the name of my son to Adam. The other name I considered was Elliot.

bloominglovelyorange · 17/02/2022 22:45

Adam is lovely yet underused

ellenpartridge · 17/02/2022 22:46

I would also ditch Scott and have Adam and Owen

@Easterbunnyiswindowshopping

Owen Other 2 are way overused.

coodawoodashooda · 17/02/2022 22:49

Yes. Adam and Owen are perfect.
