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

I think those are a bit humdrum for this creative husband.
Ooh, how about Hum and Drum?

Ok we get it. You have quirky humour.

Seriously, please don't!

Does your husband realise the cute twin boys with matching names will eventually grow into full grown men and likely resent him for choosing ridiculous names?!

Sebastian is lovely, along the same lines I can think of :

Tobias
Alexander
Oliver
Matthew
Hugo
Rory
Daniel
Samuel
Benjamin

There are so many lovely names out there, don't let your husband burden your sons with ridiculous ones!

Indeed. However.
Your husband is certainly more quirky than me.

Sebastian and Nicholas. I love Sebastian and Nicholas short would suit my husband's want.

You'd be great friends.

Pinky and Perky?
nah sorry OP, the idea is chavvy, and binds the two together rather than letting them be two individuals in their own right.

I actually like the sound of him, @Kiswahili . Anyone considering Martin and Luther for twin boys is great in my opinion. Shame it's not triplets, and you could have gone for King as well, but no matter.

Benjamin is so lovely

Which one sound nice??

Thanks you for your help!

Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They may look the same but they are two separate people with their own personalities not dolls. My twins are absolutely identical apart from one has a slightly darker mole than the other they are so similar their names are the only thing they can say are different especially as everyone they meet treats them as one....having a parent who does would be awful like you couldn't be bothered to think of two names.

Kit and Felix, with a little sister Imogen, shortened to Moggie?

(I did know sisters Katherine and Imogen who were known as Kitty and Moggie.)

Does he really think they are toys?

Sebastian and Nicholas!

Maybe your DH can have some fun with middle names...

Tweedledum and Tweedledee?

You missed Jed and wood

Your husband’s names are awful! I have twins and have lots of twin mum friends. Only know one set with matching names.

Personally I'd go Sebastian and Benjamin as I think Seb and Ben are nice!

But honestly all 3 of the combos you listed are lovely timeless names xx

Jeez, imagine taking your kids to the park and calling them back to you "Poseidon! Poseidon darling, please come here". You'll certainly give other families something to laugh about!

Seriously though, from these suggestions I like all combinations. Nice, ordinary names...

Benjamin and Nicholas

Henry and Dyson

I am glad everyone is having a laugh. Thanks to everyone who answered to not just make fun of me though.

So no matching outfits, no same initials,
any other faux-pas?

As a twin absolutely not.

Speaking as a twin, Benjamin and Nicholas are perfect. Same number of letters, one syllable abbreviation of three letters, but completely different names.

If you introduced me to your sons Sebastian (Seb) and Nico, twins or not, I'd assume you were maybe F1 fans. So, in that sense, they sort of are a matching set but not as overt (or cruel) as some of the others.

Sebastian and Tristan would be better I think. Seb and Tris are good nicknames too

Your husbands suggestions are not good!
