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

Conrad
Edmund
Hugh
Alexander
Tarant
Miles

I like Magnus but don't like Hugo at all.

I also agree that Smith needs a more memorable first name!

How about

Magnus & Quentin Smith
Magnus & Tristan Smith
Magnus & Vincent Smith

Atlas and Apollo

If you like Magnus and want a more matching vibe what about Scandinavian names? It's number 16 in Norway. Soren, Erik, Lucas, Casper, Oscar, iver, Victor.

Suggestions I like so far

Gregory
Leon
Jude (this feels overdone where I am though?)

I also really like Hugh. Possibly more than Hugo.

I’m not sure I’m sold on Felix but I think it’s the right vibe.

I love the name Benjamin but think Ben Smith is potentially too boring.

Douglas isn’t a name I’ve considered before now but I could be tempted… it’s growing on me.

Love Eric/Erik and this will be used as a middle name. The reason we can’t use it as a first name is long and boring.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I did have a good laugh at Magnus and Spencer 😁

Hugh is lovely

Magnus and Orson.

I like Hugh.

Love Hugo and Magnus, they go so well together

Hugh is really hard to pronounce by anyone who is not a native english speaker, speaking from an experience. Hugo is much more international. The posh thing is not a thing anymore, I know many Hugos whose parents are totally normal, nor does anyone think they try to be posh (this is a weird concept anyway, who would try to be posh with their children's names?)

Magnus and Hugo is very cool. Go with that!

Hugh and Claude
Hugh and Klaus
Hugh and Clive
Hugh and Neil
Hugh and Lyle

I like Magnus and Hugh

I really like Hugo but not Magnus.

how about:

Hugo and Louis
Hugo and Luke
Hugo and Thomas
Hugo and Nathaniel
Hugo and Alexander

I don’t think Jude is overdone . I don’t actually know any.

If you like Magnus but think it’s hard to pair ( I agree), would you like Hugo and Tobias which also has an “us/as” sound? Another slightly unusual name I like is Inigo which works well with Smith, but might go better with Hugh than Hugo ( as lots of o sounds!)

If your surname is Smith, I don’t think Magnus works as it ends with an ‘S’

Hugo and Monty

Yes I think that works. Definite posh vibe but so what 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hugo and Fergus
Magnus and Rory

If you love Eric what about Dominic? Quite similar sounding and similar vibes to Hugo or Felix for me. Or the names Cedric or Emeric are a bit of a variation on it.

Or maybe Dexter if it's the x sound in Felix you like?

For what it's worth the name Benjamin is also lovely and I don't think too boring.

Rory
Jasper
Felix
