We currently have twins Henry Michael and Caroline Lily. I am due with a boy in three weeks and we are still pretty lost on names, here is what we have come up with.. not in any particular order. Also very open to other middle names.
-Oliver George/ John/ Andrew
-Finnegan (Finn) Oliver/ Arthur
-Arthur (Artie) Malcolm / McConnon
-Theodore (Teddy) John
-Malcolm (Mac) Alexander / Charles
Thanks so much in advance! I got great advice on here for my twins and am starting to get anxiety with the delivery coming up. I would love to have it narrowed down to two name sets before we meet him (:
***edited to add we call the twins Hank and Cali sometimes
Wow, first of all [name_f][/name_f]- your kids have such lovely names! [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] are beautiful together. It sounds like youâre leaning toward classic yet slightly playful names, which I think will fit perfectly with your twinsâ names.
[name_f][/name_f]
From your list my top two are:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Classic[/name_m], timeless, and flows nicely with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. Since you mentioned nicknames for all your other options, would you want to use the nickname âOllieâ?
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Has a nice rhythm, and âArtieâ is such a sweet nickname.
[name_f][/name_f]
Honestly, you really canât go wrong [name_f][/name_f]- whatever you choose will be perfect for your little boy.
[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] back, and congratulations on baby boy! [name_f][/name_f] All of these names are fantastic! [name_f][/name_f] I donât blame you for having a hard time decidingâall of them are so lovely with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] If I had to nitpick, I think I would say [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] is my least favorite with the twinsâit just doesnât feel as classic as [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] But I do love the nn [name_m]Finn[/name_m] with them, and I love how jaunty and fun he is!
[name_f][/name_f]
I think I would personally lean toward [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] JohnâTheodore [name_m]John[/name_m] feels like a PERFECT stylistic match for [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and [name_m]Teddy[/name_m] is so adorable. [name_f][/name_f] And while [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] isnât traditionally as classic, the idea of [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] got stuck in my head and I canât get it outâI love these three names together so much! [name_f][/name_f] Plus, [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] has some sweet nnsâMalley, [name_m]Mac[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_m]Colm[/name_m] (Callum), [name_m]Cam[/name_m]!
Thank you so much!! I would definitely consider using [name_f]Ollie[/name_f] as a nn but I think I prefer the name [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] to [name_f]Ollie[/name_f] so would most often call him [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
Thank you so much!! This is so helpful! Would using the first name [name_m]Finn[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] make a difference?
[name_f][/name_f]
also I love all those nn for [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]! I actually had the name [name_m]Callum[/name_m] on my list but wanted all this kiddos to have different initials so ruled it out. What do you think about the sound of [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]? I just feel like [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is two âbig namesâ but couldnât think of another middle name initially that I felt flowed
Regarding just FinnâI think so? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Or[/name_f] maybe even [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] or Fintan/Finnian/Finley? [name_f][/name_f] I could actually really see [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] or [name_m]Finley[/name_m] as a brother to [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] Somehow they donât feel as jaunty as [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] does to me
[name_f][/name_f]
And I actually really like [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] as is, but [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] could definitely work! [name_f][/name_f] I also like these:
[name_f]Love[/name_f] your twins names and love all the options you have for baby #3[name_f][/name_f]!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are definitely [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcom[/name_m], and [name_m]Malcom[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- solid, classic, but still fresh feeling
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- handsome and charming and [name_m]Teddy[/name_m] is sweet
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Mac[/name_m] fits so well with [name_f]Cali[/name_f] and [name_m]Hank[/name_m], while [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] flows smoothly with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- great option
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] is a cool name too [name_f][/name_f]- a bit less popular than H and C, but not in any outlandish way. I think [name_m]Finn[/name_m] grounds it and it is a great option
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is okay, just not a name I enjoy so much, but it works
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
I think if I were to narrow it down, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] would be my choices for you
I like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] best for you! [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_f]Cali[/name_f] and [name_m]Artie[/name_m] are so sweet together.
I love [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] and [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_m]Malcom[/name_m] is a cute combo, but I also like [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] and [name_m]Malcom[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m].
Congratulations! I love your twinsâ names â theyâve both got that classic, friendly feel with a fun but optional nickname. From your list, my favorite is definitely [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] âTeddyâ[name_f][/name_f]! He blends perfectly with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] in both vibes & sounds. [name_f][/name_f]For a close runner up, Iâd go with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] McConnon âArtieâ[name_f][/name_f], another classic name with a spunky twist of nickname. I also love McConnon in the middle â is that a family name? [name_f][/name_f]In third place, Iâll go with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]! A little more popular than the other two, and I like the nicknames [name_m]Teddy[/name_m] & [name_m]Artie[/name_m] better than [name_f]Ollie[/name_f], but still a solid pick!
Unquestionably, my favorite (of your list in general, but also with your twinsâ names) is [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. We had it on our own list, and itâs just a perfect match in style to [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I adore [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] (again, a contender on our list), but [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] are fantastic, too.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] â [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] fits beautifully with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]â all polished, classic, and gently traditional. [name_f]My[/name_f] pick for a middle would be [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m], because the double-classic combo feels most timeless, while [name_m]John[/name_m] and [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] keep it safe and strong.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] (Finn) â A little more modern/surname-y than [name_m]Henry[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but [name_m]Finn[/name_m] slots in well as a sibling. [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] feels balanced (classic middle grounding a more playful first). [name_m]Finn[/name_m] as a nickname is light, fun, and fits with [name_m]Hank[/name_m] and [name_f]Cali[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]â just a bit more âlively Irishâ than the others.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (Artie) â [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is such a solid vintage revival name, and I love that youâd use [name_m]Artie[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]â it pairs perfectly with [name_m]Hank[/name_m] and [name_f]Cali[/name_f] as a quirky, charming sibling set. [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] is very dashing, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] McConnon is more unexpected (adds family/heritage flair if thatâs significant).
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (Teddy) â Maybe the most natural fit with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] feels timeless, and [name_m]Teddy[/name_m] is right at home alongside [name_m]Hank[/name_m] and [name_f]Cali[/name_f]. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] is safe and strong, maybe a bit expected, but it ties everything together beautifully.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] (Mac) â [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] is slightly quirkier, but [name_m]Mac[/name_m] as a nickname is great with [name_m]Hank[/name_m] and [name_f]Cali[/name_f]. It gives the set a little spunk while still being grounded. [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is very steady and classic; [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is a little grander.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] top two would be [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] âTeddyâ [name_m]John[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] âArtieâ [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m].
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] just feels so right. [name_f][/name_f] I also do have to say I adore [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] with the nickname [name_m]Teddy[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] Those are the 2 stand outs for me!! [name_f][/name_f] I will also add in [name_m]Simon[/name_m], it just feels like it would suit your style so well.
I actually really like [name_m]Simon[/name_m], thanks for suggesting that! Iâm going to bring that up to my husband! Any nicknames that you would use for [name_m]Simon[/name_m] or middle name suggestions?
Oh, these options are all so[name_f][/name_f] lovely! I think [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] is the winner for me. He feels classic and down-to-earth, but also has that spunk and liveliness that [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] really carries. I also think [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_f]Cali[/name_f], and [name_m]Finn[/name_m] are super sweet together.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would be [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], for the same reasons that [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] was my favorite!
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Malcom[/name_m] would be my top choice! [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] & [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] sound lovely together and I love the nicknames [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_f]Cali[/name_f] & [name_m]Artie[/name_m]. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] would be my second choice, and I love the nickname [name_m]Teddy[/name_m], but [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] âArtieâ stands out that little bit more.
