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.

Love Heney, was thinking it before you suggested it at the end of your post. Love Sophie or Mathilde for a girl.

Congrats!

I don’t think Henry as it sounds different in English/French (same for a few of the names suggested). I have an English cousin called Henry and he finds it annoying! How about Tristan for a boy and Anna for a girl?

Arthur sounds quite different too.

Yes, and also personally I think Gabriel sounds awful in English, so would avoid that too!!

NextBridgeToCross · 11/03/2026 06:43

Benjamin in France means the youngest
which could work really well a 4th boy.

How about

Benjamin and Sophie
