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 🤗

Maybe controversially, I think Sunny sounds quite nice actually. Sonny is good too. Elliot and Ellis are probably my favs!

I love

Jude Timothy
Elliot Glen

or

Elliot Glen
Louis Timothy
— Elliot and Louis goes together beautifully without being ‘samey’

I don’t think you can have Oakley Grey either, it sounds like a Farrow and Ball shade - a subtle blend of oak and grey - Grey is a nice surname but have to keep in mind it’s also a colour..

I love
Thomas Glen and Louis Timothy
Elliott Glen and Louis Timothy
Ellis Timothy and Louis Glen
Callum Timothy and Ellis Glen
Thomas Glen and Callum Timothy (Tom and Cal)

More ideas
Harrison Glen (“Sonny”) and Elliot Timothy
Harrison Glen and Callum Timothy (Sonny and Cal)
Harrison Timothy and Oakley Glen (Sonny and Oakley)
Jackson Timothy and Oakley Glen (Sonny and Oakley)
Ellis Timothy and Jackson Glen (Ellis and Sonny)

Thomas

Elliot

Callum

All names I had for ds and he is one of those!

Elliot Timothy
Thomas Glen

Are my favourites.

Oh I missed Louis was on the list.

I love that too!

Thomas and Elliot

Or

Thomas and Louis

But I agree

Thomas and Oakley go really well together too.

Jude and Ellis (also Elliott!)

Callum Glen Grey and Jude Timothy Grey.

Thomas & Lawrence

Yes Thomas and Louis are my favourites by a long way and I agree they go really well together. The problem then is Timothy as a middle name as I don’t think Thomas Timothy works and I wonder if Louis Timothy is too rhyme-y with the “ee” sound at the end of both.
One thing I would caution is that with Glen meaning valley, you want to avoid the risk of the name sounding like a place name on a map if it’s coming after the first name as a middle name. I think both Sutton Glen and Oakley Glen sound like this. Oakley Glen sounds like a valley of oak trees!

Elliot and Jude are my favourites.

Elliot Glen Grey (initials spell EGG, but don't think that matters)

Jude Timothy Grey

Jude Timothy and Louis Glen

Love Ellis and Jude or Ellis and Callum

(not that you need more options as you have a great list but I know brothers named Ellis and Calvin and thought they go really well!)

Please do not give twin boys first names starting with the same Initial. The consequences for mistakes in medical records throughout their lives is too important. I know some people consider it 'cute', but with same date of birth they deserve something to help prevent any mix ups.

Luke Timothy & Callum Glen

I think Ellis Grey is Meredith's mum in Grey's anatomy, so I probably wouldn't use that for a boy.

Jude and Saul (instead of Sonny)

Ellis/Elliott Glen
Jude Timothy

Very nice.

Elliot Glen Grey & Morgan Timothy Grey
or
Callum Timothy Grey & Thomas Glen Grey

I really like Ellis, also know a couple of sibling sets called Harrison and Ellis which I think are great together. You could get Sonny from Harrison!

So I voted for Ellis/Elliott Glen as one of the names but then saw another poster point out the initials would spell EGG with your surname! Please don't do that.

So I'm changing to Ellis Timothy

Other name with middle name Glen would be better as a 2 or 3 syllable name (not Thomas though as Ellis and Thomas is a bit rhymy)

Jude Timothy and Thomas Glen

Lincoln Glen Grey
Ambrose Timothy Grey
Or
Cameron Timothy Grey
Aaron Glen Grey
Or
Hudson Glen Grey
Oliver Timothy Grey
Or
Thomas Glen Grey
Harrison Timothy Grey.

How about Thomas and Matthew?

My twin boys are Liam and James x
