Names for twins?

36 replies

Hi MNers,
Having twins early September -don't know the sex of the babies. This is what we've come up with:
Boy - Girl: Arthur and Daisy
Boy Boy: Arthur and Henry
Girl Girl: Daisy and Millie
Struggling with girl middle names - we like Millie Rose but not sure about Daisy Rose - a bit flowery! Boy middle names will be DH's name and my brother's name.
They will be our first DC's.

Any thoughts welcome!

fantastic news - twins are great

Daisy Grace - dt1 has Grace as her middle name - would have been dt2's first name had he been a girl

Hope is nice but not with Bella

James? David? Edward?

Names go in circles so what is popular there is not here.

DS1 has a Daisy and a Milly in his class, but they are the only ones in the school. Whereas there are loads of Isabel/ Isobel/Isabelle

Depends where you live

Thanks oooggs,
Yes, we're really excited - we've been waiting a long time for these 2!
We have a house full of flat-packed cots (why do they come in so many boxes!?)
DH likes David - would probably end up being Davey as I have a tendency to end up using names ending in 'y' - IYKWAM
James I love, but very popular round here. Not sure about Edward - would be Eddie (see above) and I would always thing od Clarrie from the Archers "Eddddddddiiiieee!"

How exciting to have twins! I like middle names after a friend or family member. Though dd1 middle name Grace as just liked it.Dd2 middle name after my sister as she was there at the birth. Have good friend dd called Amelia but is always known as Millie so there is an option to choose names where you can shorten. I liked Henry or Joseph for boys also James Charlie Samuel and Harry and George but couldn;t have any as already taken by family! Girls v like Tilly Stella Lucie Tallulah Tess(ie/a). DD2 was all set to be Tilly but one look at her and she became Rosie.. You just don't know until you see them!

Good point GYA! Maybe I will be inspired when I meet them! Great to have so many ideas now, though. I like Joseph (Jo / Joey) but both DH and I are J names (mine shortened to Jo) so too confusing! I like Tilly and Tessa too!

I lik Daisy and Bella alot but not keen on Arthur,Henry and Millie. They are abit old fashioned for me but OK. Also, there are loads of Millies at the moment if that would bother you?

I like Daisy Hope
Daisy Matilda
Daisy Leona

Arthur Joseph (love Joseph)
Arthur George
Arthur James
Arthur Lawrence
Arthur William
Arthur Benjamin

Henry James (he he)
Henry Tobias
Henry Theodore
Henry Rufus (love Rufus)
Henry Christopher

Any good? My favourites have smiley faces next to them!

Really like Arthur & Henry - both lovely names and go very well together imho

I also like Daisy. Millie is lovely but I'm also not so keen on the lengthened versions. I've got a Matilda (Tilly) and Daisy was also on our list, as was Madeleine (Maddy) and Tessa.

NanaJo · 12/07/2009 05:02

Daisy Claire
Daisy Joy
Daisy Ruth

I love Arthur. What about Edmund for his twin?

Congratulations, by the way! How lovely. My Dc1 will be 6 in September.
