[name]Hi[/name],
New here and expecting our second set of twins in late [name]August[/name]. Our first set is fraternal and we went traditional ([name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Graeme[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Rose[/name]). This set is identical boys and DH and I can’t seem to agree!! [name]Baby[/name] B has had complications and is our miracle baby. Because of this I like [name]Matthew[/name] (“Gift from God”) and it fits with our traditional names. His middle name would be [name]Roger[/name] after my dad. His twin brother’s name would be [name]Lance[/name] after my FIL - we just can’t figure out a first name. I would like to stay traditional but can’t get hubby to agree. He really likes [name]Tucker[/name] but it reminds me of a dog’s name and doesn’t “fit” with the others. He also likes [name]Connor[/name] which I can accept because it is more traditional but eliminates the nicknames that the others all have with their names (of course, there will be environmental nicknames that he will earn so I’m not too worried about that). Any ideas or suggestions on names that sound good with [name]Lance[/name] that fit with the traditional names? Our last name is [name]Wilson[/name] so names ending in -son are out.
Thanks!!
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Dawn[/name], welcome to Nameberry. Wow, congrats on your second set of twins! [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Graeme[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Roger[/name] need a sibling name. Well, [name]Tucker[/name] would certainly feel like the odd one out if you went with this name. [name]Connor[/name] is a little better. What about [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Lance[/name] [name]Wilson[/name]? Other traditional suggestions: [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Gregory[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Vincent[/name]. All the best, [name]Mischa[/name].
Congrats to you both! [name]How[/name] do you feel about [name]Cameron[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], or [name]Trevor[/name]?
wow, 2 sets of twins, congrats! I agree that [name]Tucker[/name] doesn’t work, and it has a very unfortunate rhyming issue (I feel like middle school would be very, very hard for a [name]Tucker[/name]). I love [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name] and think you should definitely stick with that traditional pattern. Here are some suggestions:
[name]Andrew[/name] (I love [name]Andrew[/name] with [name]Matthew[/name])
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]William[/name] (I like the M and W thing)
[name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] (this is nice too!)
[name]Charles[/name]
My favorites are [name]Andrew[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Nathaniel[/name]. Let us know!

Thank you, ladies! I have managed to convince hubby to take [name]Tucker[/name] of his list - whew!!
He has added [name]Cameron[/name] to his list which I like. I love [name]Christopher[/name] but it is one of his brothers’ names so I have to scrap it, I think.
Right now our finalists are:
[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Roger[/name]
[name]Connor[/name] [name]Lance[/name]
[name]Cameron[/name] [name]Lance[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name] [name]Lance[/name]
Any thoughts?
Thanks, ladies!!
