Hiya everyone,
I was wondering if you’d be able to help with naming our upcoming boy/girl twins!!!
We have managed to narrow it down to a shortlist for each however we seem to be a bit stuck. I’d really appreciate any feedback (good or bad!) and maybe any other suggestions although most we have already discounted for various reasons. Middle names will be Catherine and James.
Girls:
Anna
Harriet
Alice
Beatrice
Phoebe

Boys:
Benjamin
Isaac
Jack
Alexander
William

Thank you so much!

I have BG twins. First, middle names are irrelevant really so it doesn’t matter what goes with what. Then. Don’t go matchy sounds or care too much about the names as a pair. Again will be irrelevant for most of their lives.
I like Anna and William depending on what goes best with surname. All your options are classic and OK.

With the middle names you have, I also vote for Anna and Alexander.

V similar taste to us - so I won't tell you which are our favourites as they're literally my kids' names!

Other names we considered were:
Cora
Nina
Annabel
Iris

Sam
Matthew
Daniel
Henry

Ooo I think Anna and Benjamin go lovley together. And with the middle names.
And nicknames if you like...Annie and Ben/Benji

Congratulations 🎊

Hi everyone,
Just thought I’d update that we have decided to name the twins:
Anna and Edward
Edward wasn’t originally one of the options but after seeing it suggested on here we have decided it’s perfect so thank you so very much! x
