Hey all,
I am not expecting, I’m just a name lover. I’m currently going through my list and making name combos and now I’m starting to come up with twin names. Boy names, for me, are much easier to fall in love with, so I’m starting there.
My favorite twin combo is [name_m]Finian[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] and [name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. Both middle names are family names.
I like [name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], but I’m not sure it flows well. What do you think? Any other options for [name_m]Killian[/name_m]’s nn?
What do you think of [name_m]Finian[/name_m]? I like it better with one n and I like the nn [name_m]Fin[/name_m].
Also is it ok to have twins with names that are similar since they both end in ‘ian’? Or will it be annoying for them and make them too matchy matchy?
I have a [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (not twins) so dont think similar endings are too matchy. It may help that [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]'s twin is [name_u]Owen[/name_u], and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] goes by [name_m]Nate[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] goes by [name_u]Max[/name_u]. So the their everyday names dont sound alike at all. I actually have both [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] and [name_m]Killian[/name_m] on my list for #4 so am following to see how other’s respond.
I think [name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] flows fine. I like [name_m]Finian[/name_m], and agree one n looks good. I think [name_m]Finian[/name_m] and [name_m]Killian[/name_m] are a bit too matchy. If one or both of them regularly went by nicknames it could be alright.
I like them together, especially if [name_m]Finian[/name_m] goes by [name_m]Fin[/name_m] most of the time. But, I would suggest pretending to call out for them like you’re on the playground or calling them for dinner or telling them off. [name_f]Do[/name_f] the names get muddled? Can you tell one name from the other, even when you do it over and over again or yell in a frustrated way? If you can’t, I would say they’re too close.
I think [name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is quite handsome!
