N names

hello!!
currently 27+4 with twins (boy and girl)

DH and I are really struggling with names for the twins as we want to keep the trend we have with our boys (Nathaniel and Nolan)
so looking for names beginning with N.

side note… please include middle names as no doubt we’ll also struggle with them 🙈

I like Nico/Niko & Nora 🤗 not sure on middle names though, sorry!

Waggytail · 04/06/2023 20:47

Neil might go well with your other names. Also Nicholas is a classic, can't go wrong.

Nancy is a lovely girl's name coming back. Also if you're not opposed to Irish names there's Nuala (Noo-la)

CremeEggThief · 04/06/2023 20:48

Natalia, Nancy, Nicole, Nina.
Nicholas and Niall. I would also have said Nathan and Noah, but they sound too similar to your other sons' names.

I was advised against matching letters for twins cos lots of things use initial, surname and DOB for registration (even simple stuff like login on PC at school)

And I do think picking names which you don't adore cos it starts with the right letter is unfair on your later kids. Surely your first kid just got a name you loved? Why do the others have to fit in?

Congrats on the babies, Twins are super 😬😬

This is actually my second set of twins 🙈

We actually got really lucky with the boys and ended up with fraternal twins that have different birthdays!!

Nate was born at 11:57pm and then Nolan was born at 12:01am so we decided to let them have separate birthdays rather then choosing the same day as the nurses suggested, this way it just gives them a little bit of individuality I think x

How could you chosen the same day if they were born on different ones? Just out of interest- didn’t know you’d be able to do that

RhosynBach · 04/06/2023 21:19

N names
Nathaniel and Nolan and
Natasha

I think I’d choose a different letter for these twins- there’s not many N names left 😂 or maybe I’m just having a mind blank!

With babies born extremely close to midnight eg 11:59/12:01 you usually get the choice!!
I didn’t know this was a thing either until it happened to my boys :)

I'd choose a different letter, for 2 reasons - I think restricting yourself to N again you could end up with names you don't love; and imagine the confusion when a letter to N Jones (or whatever) arrives.

Rosanna and Reuben, Lydia and Lucas, Keira and Kai?

uncomfortablydumb53 · 04/06/2023 22:57

I love Niall for a boy
Nina for a girl? Or Niamh

Nova and Nicole

Why not go for O as it's the next letter and the next set of twins?

Oona and Olivia
Orla and Ottilie
