Hi, so I'm having twin boys and am wondering which two first names you like the most from my list for them? ☺️
(Don't really need a bunch of negative comments on them all, just a pick of two favourites would help! 😂👍)

Jasper
Luca
Xander
Flynn
Eli
Ronan

I like Luca and Finn (not keen on Flynn) together

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 28/05/2022 08:40

I like Flynn and Ronan
(I would love Elijah and Alexander though)

bobbythevet · 28/05/2022 08:41

Eli and Luca

PoemBeatrice · 28/05/2022 08:42

I like Ronan, Flynn, Luca and Jasper

I like Ronan variant but might be confused with Rowan. These are equally popular and same style so confusion might be big.

Theoldwoman · 28/05/2022 08:42

Jasper
Eli

Luca and Eli(jah)?

GreenClock · 28/05/2022 08:48

No negative comments from me because I think they’re all great! I think that Luca and Eli(jah) are my picks.

Albern · 28/05/2022 08:49

Luca and Eli

Ooh I love Eli and Xander - they jumped out straight away. Also love Flynn though - Flynn and Xander would be my second pick. Lovely names!

Bimblybomeyelash · 28/05/2022 08:51

Eli and Xander!

Montague22 · 28/05/2022 08:53

Luca and Flynn

slightly prefer Lucas

romdowa · 28/05/2022 08:54

Flynn and ronan

DogsAndGin · 28/05/2022 08:56

Jasper and Alexander (nn Xander) 😊

itssquidstella · 28/05/2022 08:59

Jasper is my favourite.

I like Xander and Eli if short for Alexander and Elijah/Elias.

Luca is nice but overused. I hate Flynn.

Prefer Roman to Ronan.

ElenaSt · 28/05/2022 09:03

Jasper and Flynn.

Jelly4444 · 28/05/2022 09:05

Luca and Finn are beautiful. Flynn is more like a surname to me.

Or Luca and Alexander?

blakeway45 · 28/05/2022 09:05

Luca and Xander

Snowiscold · 28/05/2022 09:05

They’re a bit of an odd mix to me. Apart from Flynn and Ronan, the names don’t go with each other, though fine on their own.

I’d go for Jasper and Xander (only if short for Alexander) - but they are a bit too rhymey at the end.

It would just be Xander on the birth certificate as I like that name on it's own, not Alexander/Alex. I like Elijah well enough, but feel Eli is quite different in pronunciation so not sure it's a natural shortening for it?
Either way I think Eli and Xander stand up as names in their own right 👍☺️

Thanks for the picks so far, interesting!

Eli and Flynn or Luca and Eli

Eli is definitely a shortening for Elijah so worth going for Elijah nn Eli if you like that

@Snowiscold yes I thought that with those two as well, think two names with different sounding endings might go together best?

They'll be non identical and don't really want 'matching' names, just two that don't sound awful together/are nice haha!
