Help me name our twin boys!

[Twinboynames]

We are due twin boys soon and we still haven’t settled on names.

Our current front runners are Hugo and Magnus.

Thoughts? What else might we like? Really stuck!

ps definitely don’t want to do cutesy/matchy or same first initial

or Hugo and Jasper

Love Hugo and Duncan

Hug and dunc

Lovely names, both of them.

Other ideas:
Caspar
Maximilian
Angus (as many others have said. We know a few little Anguses, Gus tends to be the nickname.)
Ralph
Guy
Robin
Jasper
Finn
Milo
Felix
Tristan
Eric
Patrick
Rory

I think Magnus is great. I’m not personally a fan of Hugo.

Bill and Ben.....lol....sorry couldnt resist....anyone remember them on the telly

Hugo is also massively overused now.

Which I suppose has taken most of the "old fashioned posh" out of it, but doesn't change the image that you've picked it in the hope it still sounds that way.

Classic names always have the right note to them, if you want to sound strong and classy; Johnathan, Maxwell, William, Alexander etc.

There are a Peregrin and Merlin at my children's school, and whilst it is a naice school, it is not upper class old money, which is what these particular parents think they look like by naming their children as such. Whereas they actually look a bit silly.

Twins are awesome by the way, hope all goes well with the pregnancy.

Ant and Dec

I like Magnus. Not so fond of Hugo. Possibly because I associate it with the posh dimwit in vicar of dibley!

Duncan
Alfred
Sebastian
James
Theodore /theo
Henry
Harvey
Harrison
Hendrix
Benjamin (several nn options)

You could go full on Scottish saints.

Magnus, Ninian, Rufus, Ternan, Fergus.

I love both Hugo and Magnus!

Florian
Thierry

Agree with this

And congratulations.

I like Hugo and Magnus a lot.

I have a Hugh and also loved Angus, so similar tastes. Hugo and Angus is nice.

Also love Alisdair/Alistair

I prefer Magnus to Hugo,
What about Rory, or Rasmus.

And be careful about using names people give dogs, you don't want to shout 'Oscar' and have 1 child and three labs run up to you.

No - I hate the matchy 'o' at the end

As a twin, my DPs didn't want 'matchy' names either which I will be forever grateful for, particularly in the teenage years.

Love Hugo, less keen on Magnus but still a strong option.
Max
Rory
Gregory

The problem with Magnus for a twin name is that it means ‘ the big one’ so you have to give to the larger twin at birth but what if the other one grows taller?

Casper
River
Kurt
Thomas
Jordan
Tristan
Emile
Corey
Felix
Leo

Romulus and Remus?

Hugo and Jude

Romulus and Remus (actually know twins with these names - they suit them!)
Magnus and Angus (again, know them).

Bill and ben

Merlin and Albus
