Hi, having twin boys and struggling with names.. we are thinking of Luca and Nico as feel they "fit" together.

Any other suggestions or opinions on these names? Thank you!

Lovely

hattie43 · 24/11/2024 17:25

I like the names you've suggested .

StressedQueen · 24/11/2024 17:25

Absolutely gorgeous. I struggle with boy names but those two are some of my absolute favourites.

BoleynMemories13 · 24/11/2024 17:26

Luca is lovely. Personally I'm not a fan of Nico, but I do think they go very well together.

Mumsntfan1 · 24/11/2024 17:27

Love both names and they go well together. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Luke and Nick.

Nah.

Luca and Luke are nice.

Nico is awful.

Aww thank you all! ♥️ Luca is a favourite and we are finding it difficult to find names that go together but you have all made me feel confident in them!!

But of course we are open to other suggestions too!

I feel like Luca and Luke are too similar (if you meant as an alternative to Luca and Nico!)

Are you Italian? Looking for other Italian names?

Alessandro
Massimo
Matteo
Enzo/Lorenzo
Bruno

If you're not Italian, could be Luca and...

Jago
Theo
Nathaniel
Ethan
Rufus
Milo
Fergus
Finlay

Oh God no. Don't call your sons Luke and Luca!

Luke and Matthew are nice. I don't get this matching stuff with siblings never mind twins. I named my kids names I liked. Didn't consider if they went together.

PilgorTheGoat · 24/11/2024 17:51

When I had twins, every adult twin I met said not to give them matchy names.

Luka is lovely but pairing with Nico seems a bit off unless you actually have Italian heritage?

StillAtTheRestaurant · 24/11/2024 17:54

I wouldn't use that particular combo unless you are actually Italian.

They sound good together

orangeblosssom · 24/11/2024 18:00

How about Luca and Elio

teatoast8 · 24/11/2024 18:01

Lovely names

Uc4me · 24/11/2024 18:02

I love them
Individually and as a pair.

Just lovely

I like both, but odd if you aren't Italian?
I would use Lucas and Nicholas, you can nn to luca and nico if you like, and they have the option of Luke and Nick if they prefer the English names.

SqueegieBeckenheimer · 24/11/2024 18:18

Gorgeous names!

I also like Luca and Milo and Luca and Franco
