Help with naming twin boys!!

mom2be2twinboys · January 29, 2013, 10:37am

[name]Hi[/name] all,

Thanks in advance for your input!

We are down to about 4-5 names for firsts and middles for our twin boys, but we are still debating some combinations. We are set on the selection of the 4-5 names, so I’m not looking for other names, but rather looking for input on these combinations. We are open to [name]Sean[/name], [name]Timothy[/name], [name]Ronan[/name], and [name]Patrick[/name] for first names (I think we are pretty set on [name]Sean[/name] being one of the first names actually) and [name]James[/name] and [name]David[/name] would be middle names if they are included.

[name]Sean[/name] [name]David[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Sean[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name] [name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Sean[/name] ([name]Patrick[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]David[/name], or [name]Timothy[/name])
[name]Ronan[/name] ([name]Patrick[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]David[/name], or [name]TimothY[/name])

Which combo do you guys like?!? Thanks!

I vote for #4! I like [name]Ronan[/name] much more than [name]Timothy[/name]!

[name]Sean[/name] [name]David[/name] and [name]Patrick[/name] [name]James[/name] are winner’s names. [name]Love[/name] them both.

On second thought, listening to them out loud, I like
[name]Sean[/name] [name]David[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] best.

[name]Sean[/name] [name]David[/name] & [name]Timothy[/name] [name]James[/name]
Or
[name]Sean[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] & [name]Ronan[/name] [name]James[/name]
I think That if you use [name]Sean[/name] as a first name, it should have a 2 or 3 syllable mn for better flow. [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] sounds EXTREMELY Irish, so I prefer it with [name]David[/name] or [name]Timothy[/name](since your 2nd twin’s name options don’t sound as strongly Irish to me).

I really like [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Timothy[/name] [name]Ronan[/name]!

[name]Timothy[/name] is my brother’s name and I have always loved it. It seems a little underused these days and it is so refreshing to hear amongst all the trendy names and overused classics.

inkonherfingers · January 29, 2013, 10:53am

My favourite is [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name].

[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] & [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name]/[name]Ronan[/name] [name]James[/name]

[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Timothy[/name] [name]James[/name]

leonielee · January 29, 2013, 2:20pm

I really like [name]Sean[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] together! My favorite combos would be [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]James[/name] or possibly [name]Sean[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]David[/name]. I

I like [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] the best together.

mom2be2twinboys · January 31, 2013, 11:48am

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions and input!

I think we are officially now down to two options:

[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] & [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Sean[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] & [name]Ronan[/name] [name]James[/name]

I’m really loving how well [name]Sean[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] go together. Not too matchy, but both Irish and classic sounding.

blade · January 31, 2013, 11:56am

Can I mix & match?

I like Sean Timothy & Ronan Patrick.

I like [name]Ronan[/name] & [name]Sean[/name] together as firsts-- both Irish and memorable ([name]Timothy[/name] is lovely, but certainly not distinctively Irish). [name]Ronan[/name] + [name]Patrick[/name] = 4 syllables; [name]Sean[/name] + [name]Timothy[/name] = 4 syllables.

jroflo · January 31, 2013, 12:02pm

[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] is my favorite of the combos you put together, but my absolute favorite mix-and-match combo is [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]James[/name].

mnj87 · January 31, 2013, 12:09pm

I second that. [name]Both[/name] sound very beautiful together and as well on their own.

lexiem · February 1, 2013, 9:10pm

This gets my votes as well. I really like [name]Sean[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] together they have that similar Irish lilt but are still both very modern.

dovah · February 1, 2013, 9:25pm

Out of those two: [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] & [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Timothy[/name]

Given the option, I prefer [name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]James[/name]

dillonsfan01 · February 1, 2013, 10:41pm

[name]Sean[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Timothy[/name] [name]Ronan[/name]

boyandgirl · February 2, 2013, 10:48am

I love [name]Sean[/name] [name]David[/name] and [name]Timothy[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]!!
