Names for my twin boys!!!

[Olivia2109]

my twin boys are due late September and we still haven’t decided on names! We keep choosing and then going back to the drawing board…. Trying to also think of names which go with our surname (Grey). For middle names we want one to have Timothy and one to have Glen.
Here’s our list:

Ellis
Elliot
Oakley
Jude
Morgan
Louis
Thomas
Sutton
Callum
Also love Sonny but actually prefer it spelt “Sunny”, but I feel he may get made fun of for it sounding “girly”?

If anyone has any other suggestions would love to hear! As a general rule, we love names with UK origin. I’m also Irish. Names that have some traditional element but also wouldn’t have many at school with the same name?

thank you 🤗

Thomas is my favourite on your list!

I’d go with:
Thomas Glen
Callum Timothy

I think Elliot glen and Louis Timothy sound great together

From your list, I really like Ellis and Oakley, and I think they make a great pair for twins.
Ellis Timothy
Oakley Glen

Also, I think Timothy and Glen would be lovely as first names! I'm guessing the middle names are after grandads? You could always just bump up to first names.

Some other names with a similar feel that you might like.
Aidan
Asher
Ethan
Gabriel
Jonathan
Leo
Lewis
Liam
Nathaniel
Nicholas
Rowan
Patrick
Tobias
William

Jude Timothy and Ellis/Elliott Glen

Don't like Sunny at all, sorry

Twin boys .. I love all these combos:
Thomas Glen Grey
Callum Timothy Grey
or
Oakley Glen Grey
Elliot Timothy Grey
or
Elliot Glen Grey
Callum Timothy Grey
or
Thomas Glen Grey
Oakley Tim Greoy
or
Timothy Glen Grey
Oakley Thomas Grey

Thank you! Yes I love both Timothy and Glen. Timothy is my Dad and Glen is my husbands Dad. Thanks for suggestions. I also love Liam! Not considered Asher but it sounds quite nice. Like William too, but it’s my brothers name
🤗🤗

Thank you! Yes probably wouldn’t use it, for some reason I just really liked the sound when I heard it 😂Also Ellis and Elliot are my top two but I think too similar to have both

Thank you! I love these combos. The second set was our final choice until recently but we keep questioning 😂

I love both Ellis and Elliott but agree, too similar to have both and I don't like the whole same initial thing for twins anyway.
You've got some really nice names in there

I love the name Thomas

I would pick
Thomas Glen and Louis Timothy from your list .
Thomas and Louis go nicely together

Thanks! I love Thomas too but worried at first it may be too popular? When I was at school it seemed like every boy was called Tom or Sam! But maybe that has changed now…

Ellis Y
Elliot Y
Oakley N
Jude Y
Morgan N
Louis Y
Thomas Y
Sutton N
Callum Y
Also love Sonny Y but actually prefer it spelt “Sunny” N but I feel he may get made fun of for it sounding “girly” Y

Ellis Glen
Jude Timothy

Oakley is a very popular name for golden retrievers, so I'd bin that one for starters.
I like Jude and Elliott together - Jude Timothy and Elliott Glen work well.

Oh is it! I didn’t actually know this 😬, I definitely wouldn’t want him having a dog sounding name. It was actually one of my favourites due to the Oak sound and nature feel to it. Also love Elliot, it’s probably my top atm

From your list-

Thomas Glen Grey
Callum Timothy Grey

what about-
Declan Timothy Grey
Finlay Glen Grey
Liam Timothy Grey
Kieran Glen Grey

As a dm of twins I'd say make sure they don't have the same initials (it can be an issue with paperwork/school.
Also I find I say my twins names together much more than my singleton plus one twin so say them together (make sure it's not a tongue twister or has a Sam and Ella vibe).
I don't think popularity is as important these days (it's down to luck). Dc1 and 2 have top 5 names and in a primary of 100 pupils there were no others with the same name (yet 3 Evans and 4 Ben's). Go with what you like.

Jude and Louis

Mine were going to be Hugo and Jack, but they turned out to be girls.

Why on earth would you call a child Sutton?!

Hugo and Jack are nice. We liked Sutton because we like vintage names. It was my grandfathers first name who I was very close to. It’s towards the bottom of our list atm though so I doubt we’d use it.

Me too

Jude Timothy Grey
and Elliot Glen Grey work best and are very nice

I like Louis Grey too, but it doesn’t work with either middle name

Thomas Grey nice but a bit dull
Ellis is Ok but Elliot much nicer
callum is dated and neither it nor Morgan go with Grey

The others are a bit odd - and Sunny/Sonny Grey a very jarring combo - as in it conjures up Yellow-Grey so don’t do that.

I think at the moment Sutton would sound like part of the surname fashion like Lincoln and Harris, so the opposite of vintage, unfortunately. Nice as an extra middle name though.

Sutton is a town near me, my judgment may be clouded!

Yes: Thomas

OK:
Ellis
Elliot - will get Elliott and Eliot
Callum - I prefer the Calum spelling
Louis

Not keen:
Oakley - too trendy
Jude
Morgan - Organ

No:
Sutton

Nickname:
Also love Sonny but actually prefer it spelt “Sunny”
