Having twins and we have the girl's name picked but can't think of one for the boy

I am 23+2 with twins; a boy and a girl. We have our baby girl's name picked, she'll be called Poppy. But we cannot agree on a boy's name. His middle name will be Jack regardless, but can't think of a first name. Jack sadly isn't an option for his first name as my nephew is named that.

We liked Oliver but have gone off it.
We have mentioned Freddie briefly but neither of us love it. Same with Teddy.

Any suggestions are welcome 😊

Thomas means twin. I chose this for my eldest twin’s name. He can call himself Tommy or Tom when hes older. Thomas Jack is nice xx

We had all of those names on our list but discounted for various reasons and went with Rowan!

I’ve always loved the name Toby

(but sadly not an option for us! )

I think Poppy and Charlie is lovely

Songbird54321 · 03/06/2023 12:00

Albie was our boys name (we had 2 girls) which goes quite well with Poppy

Firstly well done on choosing your little girls name! I have a friend who has a Leo and a Poppy, love that it goes well together and Leo Jack is a good name. But also love the Arlo Jack suggestion too 😍

Poppy and Alex. Perfect.

Also, AJ is a cool nn.

Deerymama · 03/06/2023 14:19

If you wanted Jack as a first name have you thought about Jackson instead? There’s a fair few around but not masses.

I love Rowan though. It’s beautiful.

UlrikakakaJ · 03/06/2023 14:43

Poppy and Sam are the names of the kids in the Mrs Boot’s farm stories if that matters.

I love the nature idea, Poppy & Rowan. Also maybe Poppy & Cedar, Poppy & River. Or a more traditional name with a nod to nature like Oliver (means olive tree) or Arthur (means bear).

Or if you like traditional names with maybe a modern nickname like Oliver or Teddy, how about William, Kit, Alfie.

Good luck with your twins!

SwedishDeathClearance · 03/06/2023 14:47

Poppy and Rowan would assume 2 girls as Rowan is a unisex name

Sueandstan · 03/06/2023 14:52

Angus
Luke
Jacob

I really like Rowan, always liked James as well.

Maireas · 03/06/2023 16:01

Not Teddy, it's really very, very popular. Same with Noah. Also Albie.
Some less usual and good suggestions on here. I like James.

Hodge00079 · 03/06/2023 18:27

The first name that popped into my head was Peter

Imisssleep2 · 03/06/2023 18:28

We struggled with boys names we had, Cassius, logan and dawson on our list and he ended up being Cassius Dawson

Rtc12 · 03/06/2023 18:39

We have a Reuben and I would have had Luca if our second was a boy. Or lucas

Koalasparkles · 03/06/2023 18:56

Reuben/Ruben? Sounds nice with Poppy and goes well with Jack
