Okay, please give us two boys’ names!

[Anonymous]

I’ve been reading this forum long enough to know I don’t want:

- names that “try too hard”
- are popular now/trendy
- made up or weird
- names that are too cutesy for twins
- names that sound like the babies are from different families.

We have a simple two syllable last name. Their middle names will be my one syllable name (I hyphenate but they won’t).

Here’s what we have so far:

James and Graham
John (not nn Jack) and Daniel
Henry and Peter

Any combination except James and John. Other suggestions appreciated!

Thank you!

Jack Daniels LOL! I can see why you would want to stay away from Jack as a name.

Scott & Keith
Eric & Paul
David & Charlie

Cuff and Link.

Charles and Daniel (RIP Charlie Daniels).

Brick and Mortar?

Kevin and William
Henry and Jonathon
Daniel and Brian

I don’t like the idea of a one syllable name (Graham, John) with a one syllable middle name.

Thanks but Eric and David are already taken by in laws, I hate Keith. BUT Paul and Charles are good choices - especially Charles.

Thanks!

I would rule out Henry if you don't want trendy. I'd also add "names that are often used to refer to genitalia" and get rid of Peter.

I like James and Daniel.

Good point on syllables.

I'd make a list of names that all go together, and pick two that start with different letters. I'd add

Matthew

Nicholas

Andrew

Adam

Hugh

True but they’ll rarely be referred to by their full name.

My vote is James and Graham.
