Matching names for twins Yay or No

[Kiswahili]

Expecting twins boys on 23June. My husband is obsessed with matching names. I am more flexible but to be honest I'd rather not.

My favourites are
Sebastian and Dorian
Florian and Tristian

My husband's
Jayden and Jaylen
Nick and Nico

Oh I love Edward. But I want to keep Sebastian. I love that name.

Sebastian and Edward?

Also don't have names with the same initial. If you do this there'll be a lifetime of one twin's post being opened by the other

Sebby and Teddy???

Seb and Ted???

Because it’s so wet.

Well his reasoning is :

It would make them look unique while looking the same : How many Poseidons have you met?

I mean that's what he said to me lol

Martin and Luther?
Cassius and Clay?
Ah, come on now.
Did he also suggest Malcolm and X?

As a twin please don't. They're individuals but a matched set

Edward and Sebastian go

Jupiter and Saturn?
Why not call one of them Uranus?

He’s winding you up.

Or he’s a fuckwit.

Definitely not matching names and also different initials ..they are two individual human beings .

Nick and Nico are the only decent names out of everything you have listed. But not for twins obviously as they are basically the same names.

Possibly a bit of both.

My only hesitation with Sebastian and Nico is the difference in length, but Sebastian and Nicholas, known as Seb and Nico when they're young, works well.

And I've just noticed they both start and end with N and S, if that would help persuade your husband!

If he really won't budge I'd compromise with matching (but not ridiculous ) middle names.

Seb and Ed -nope

agree with Sebastian and Nico
or even Sebastian and Cassius

How about one name each? Sebastian and Jayden would definitely be a yooneek pairing.

Sebastian and Laurence…Seb and Laurie when they are older .

Dawn and Lucy
Thomas and Oliver
James and Robert
Felix and Kit
Edward and Sam
These are the twins I have taught fairly recently. Proper, non-matching names.

Dawn and Lucy's parents had the theme of 'light' for the names. Could you have a themed meaning rather than matching names?

No :)

Neither Adolf and Hitler :)

I'm not a fan of long names at the best of times, but two long names for twins will be a mouthful, and 'Twins' isn't. They are individuals.

Even identical twins aren't always identical, I know some who look remarkably alike but only a few who look exactly alike.

Even siblings or non-identical twins have their names mixed up.

How about Neville and Chamberlain?

I think Sebastian and Nico go together so nicely, classy and individual.

Let them have that, as they will be "the twins" most of the time anyway

Ah but it can help sometimes….
I went out with a twin when at uni. We went on a trip to Europe on a coach. Got to London and realised he’d forgotten his passport. We had theee hours until the international coach departed. He rang his twin and borrowed his passport!! One was Jeremy, one was Jack. The ticket said Mr J Jones!

I have 3 days to find a name. I feel I will never

And for gods sake ...please do not make them wear the same clothes... that is just sick...

I agree with this! I hate seeing twins all matching.

Mine managed til year 10 without being sussed by the PE teachers and they were in one class together and the teacher didn’t twig!!

Im proud they are individuals with their own dress style and friends -
