I like:

Ambrose Peter
Magnus Edwin

Firebird83 · 22/05/2022 15:48

Ambrose Lawrence and Magnus Peter

LittleJumpingBean · 22/05/2022 18:05

Both with the middle name of Lawrence (or any other preferred, i just love how they sound together), twins in more than one sense 😊
PS don't hate on the suggestion, I know its not everyone's cuppa tea

I like Neville, Peter and Warren. I like Art more as nickname for Arthur, but they go kind of bad with Ambrose and Magnus.

Ambrose Jory
Ambrose George
Ambrose Toby
Ambrose Clove/Clover
Ambrose Rune
Ambrose Thorin
Ambrose Keir

Magnus Rafferty
Magnus Neville (Neville here sounds like surname)
Magnus Harley
Magnus Kieran
Magnus Killian
Magnus Clarence

I only like Matthew ( spelt that way) and Lawrence.

Ambrose Mathew and Magnus Peter

What is your surname like? I only ask, because having three two syllable names in town like Ambrose Peter Johnson just sounds so sonically boring to me, it grates. But that might not bother you, or your surname might not be two syllable anyway.

I prefer Ambrose into a harder consonant sound, as I think it flows better.

Yeah I see what you mean, our surname is Beck so only 1 syllable

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve never thought I’d Rune as a name but I really like it and I do like Clove/Clover but Clover was top of our girl list so I think we’ll save that one

Magnus Edwin
Ambrose Peter

RoonilWazlibb · 24/05/2022 16:50

Definitely NOT Ned. It stands for Non Educated Delinquent.

Ambrose Lawrence
Magnus Edwin

I don’t know what happened to the last post so I’ll try again

After some consideration and thanks to @PoemBeatrice for their suggestions we absolutely love Rune and Thorin. They’re two names we never even thought of and names we thought wouldn’t be our style.

We've decided that the twins names are going to be

Ambrose Thorin
Magnus Rune
