Twin name ideas?

We’re expecting twins (a boy and a girl). Since we’re clearly not very good at deciding — our boys all arrived before we had names fully settled 😅 — we thought it might be nice to hear some ideas from others.
We already have three sons: Oscar, Louis and Arthur. We tend to like classic, not overly trendy names that feel timeless and go well together.
It would be lovely if the names also work in French, as some of our family members are French (and we have a French surname), but that’s more of a nice bonus than a requirement.
We’d love to hear any name suggestions that you think would fit well with our boys’ names.
So far we’ve been thinking about Henry for the boy… but we’re not really sure.

Inès and Isaac - or the English version of Inès is Agnes I think.

Congratulations!

Avoid alliteration, rhyming names and famous “pairs”.

It’s important for twins to be individuals not just half a set.

The other great bit of advice I had when naming my twins was to try yelling both names together to check they are easy to say and don’t merge. You’ll be saying them together a lot for the first few years!
