Hypothetical Twins Question...

I know it may seem like a silly question, but both my sibling and my DH’s sibling have twins…so it’s not completely unlikely…

Our #1, not changing our mind, final choice for a boy is [name_m]Declan[/name_m].

We like a couple of other names in the #2 spot, but the top choice for both DH and I is [name_m]Damon[/name_m].

Would that be too match-y? [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Damon[/name_m]?

I also like [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but not sure how that sounds with [name_m]Declan[/name_m]? [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] seems like they kind of run in to each other?

I also like [name_m]Felix[/name_m]…but, I loved [name_m]Felix[/name_m] the [name_f]Cat[/name_f] growing up so it just doesn’t ‘feel’ right…

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you! :slight_smile:

I know that in my family, the perception of a great twin set is [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and [name_f]Michaela[/name_f], [name_m]John[/name_m] and [name_f]Joan[/name_f], et cetera. I find that most people accept matching names for twins. [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Damon[/name_m] aren’t too matchy (they still leave room for self-identification), and besides they’re wonderful names that both of you love. I think it would work fine : ) As sibling names, I’m not so sure though

Thanks, @chrisco! Any suggestions for a sibling name to go with [name_m]Declan[/name_m]? :slight_smile:

I love [name_m]Declan[/name_m]!!

I don’t think [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] are bad together at all! I actually think it’s an amazing combo for twins! :slight_smile:

I was looking at your list and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Levi[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Milo[/name_m] are great too.

Others:

[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Ryder[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_u]Emmet[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] (<< a little matchy matchy but still cute)

Declan and Damon isn’t to matchy at all in my opinion! It has a nice ring and flow to it. :slight_smile: :smiley:

Speaking as a twin I think the names are far to similar (both are great individually though)
I would suggest…
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] and
[name_m]Anders[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_u]Keenan[/name_u]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Prescott[/name_m]
[name_m]Grover[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m]

Thanks, @jsharris18!

Haha, I wish I did, but I think I’m too involved. My sister has a little [name_m]Declan[/name_m], and is expecting again; for the life of us we can’t find a name that goes well with Dec’s. Although [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] were brought up : )

As another twin: I would say that [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Damon[/name_m] are far too similar, sorry. WDYT of:
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]

Best of luck!

[name_u]Finn[/name_u] is ok but DH doesn’t like it and the others aren’t really my taste. Thank you for the suggestions though!!
