So would you consider Mila and Tate; or Etta and Rohan? Bit odd to only consider set pairs of names.

I don’t mind any of the pairs, but I do agree with the others to give them their own names/personalities outside of “twin culture”. You don’t need to do anything further to make it known they are twins, they will grow through life being acutely aware they have twins like enough attention will naturally be given to twin siblings.

It’s too contrived and too twee - just pick names you like - they aren’t a pair of goldfish

Sorry to piss on your chips but twinny names piss most twins off - they are individuals - give them matchy middle names if you must.

Terrible idea

They are two separate individuals not a fucking matching set!

Matchy names is very twee.

Mila and Tate are nice together.

Andrew Tate comes to mind and ''Tato'' for potato Nora sounds like ''gnaw-rer'' like what a dog does.

Norah and Rowan

it isnt naff..choose what you like! - i dont think using same letters is not permit own identity.

I was going to suggest Tom Marvolo Riddle and Mia Lord Voldemort Grin

lottiegarbanzo · 07/02/2025 07:50

Orla and Arlo is inspired though. Very on trend at the same time (which may have been ten years ago).

Very good 🤣🤣🤣

My vote is for Darlene and Leander.

JerrySprinter · 07/02/2025 08:03

Cheesy.
Plus as pp have mentioned "Tate"? No thank you!
Give the kids their own identities, not some trendy naff notion.

TizerorFizz · 07/02/2025 08:06

This feels like an Enid Blyton book of twin names. Except Tate! Who on earth would think that’s a good name?! Ditch the twee anagrams and give each child a personal name as an individual.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 07/02/2025 15:45

Aidan and Nadia?

Mia Lord Voldemort for a girl has tears in my eyes, I thought I read it wrong 😂😭

itsgettingweird · 07/02/2025 16:02

Didn't spot that anagrams - clever idea.

Wouldn't do it myself.

I'd go for Etta or Ettie and Liam.

Well it's a boy and a girl, they could go by Tom and Mia day to day Grin

yourmaw · 07/02/2025 19:35

i like arlo and orla. ... How is anagram being seen as forced\share identity tho?Apart from b/g so clearly individual -if anything it nods to same BUT different.

Pinkissmart · 07/02/2025 19:36

bluestarthread · 04/02/2025 22:48

None of the above. It’s too contrived - give them their own identities.

yourmaw · 07/02/2025 19:37

Billy + Libby.... slight twist n could obviously be william/eliza....

Starsandall · 07/02/2025 19:46

Etta Is lovely, I think I prefer Liam to Tate.

yourmaw · 09/02/2025 05:00

Ohhhhhh! what about ..they have very own identity(?) names -But -also can have optional anagrams...so... Abraham and Beatrice also = Abe and Bea.
twee would be george +mildred , den+ange,kylie and jason stylee
