Boy Names
1

i’m looking for names for the twins we’re having. [name]Both[/name] growing well according to a quick scan today!! but not sure whether they’re two girls, two boys or one of both. we’re arguing over whether or not to find out at the moment. We have a boy called [name]Giles[/name] [name]Peter[/name].

I got some great suggestions last time thanks so much! we had nothing at all on the list for a boy so it’s super to have a start. our starting list:

[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Barney[/name]
[name]Orson[/name]
[name]Hector[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Gerard[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]

i feel like it’s a bit all over the place!:? i guess we want something very uncommon but not too out there for the first name then a retro classic (that’s how I’d describe [name]Peter[/name] I think?) for a middle.

Any reviews, middle name suggestions or ideas for names that would “match” very well for a twin with one of those names would be great. We don’t want matchy matchy twin names, but I feel like some names just fit together and others clash if you know what I mean. :slight_smile:

Well, [name]Giles[/name] sounds very British to me, so others in that vein would be:
[name]Nigel[/name]
[name]Cyril[/name]
[name]Basil[/name]

something slightly different:
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Simeon[/name]
[name]Angus[/name]
[name]Ansel[/name]
[name]Wilbur[/name]
[name]Sinclair[/name]
[name]Clive[/name]
[name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Casper[/name]
[name]Amos[/name]
Cyrus

middle names:
[name]Calvin[/name] - [name]Phineas[/name] [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Walter[/name] [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Nigel[/name] [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Angus[/name] [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Wilbur[/name] [name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Phillip[/name] - [name]Barney[/name] [name]Phillip[/name], [name]Orson[/name] [name]Phillip[/name], [name]Basil[/name] [name]Phillip[/name], [name]Ansel[/name] [name]Phillip[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] - [name]Linus[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Phineas[/name] [name]Arther[/name], [name]Cyril[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Rufus[/name] [name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Simon[/name] - [name]Walter[/name] [name]Simon[/name], [name]Wilbur[/name] [name]Simon[/name]

I really like [name]Hector[/name] and [name]Linus[/name] together. [name]Giles[/name], [name]Hector[/name], and [name]Linus[/name] would make a quirky, bookish, handsome trio. Perhaps [name]Hector[/name] [name]Franklin[/name] and [name]Linus[/name] [name]Frederick[/name]?

Other suggestions:

[name]Ernest[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Bertram[/name]
[name]Basil[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Quentin[/name]
[name]Clement[/name]
[name]Clarence[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Cecil[/name]

I absolutely love [name]Linus[/name] and [name]Phineas[/name] together! They are quite different stylistically, but I think [name]Giles[/name], [name]Linus[/name], and [name]Phineas[/name] work really well for brothers, actually. I think [name]Linus[/name] and [name]Hector[/name] would be great, too.

From your current list I really really like the name [name]Phineas[/name]. I would like [name]Linus[/name] a lot, but the association to the Peanuts character carrying his safety blanket everywhere is very strong in my mind, because it’s the only [name]Linus[/name] I’ve ever known/heard-of. [name]Walter[/name], [name]Hector[/name] and [name]Orson[/name] are pretty solid names too, though don’t stand out as much as [name]Phineas[/name] to me.

Some other twin names that might work well together (that’d work fine together with [name]Giles[/name] as the other brother) that I can think of:
[name]Kian[/name]/[name]Cian[/name] & [name]Callum[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name] & [name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name] & [name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Alaric[/name] & [name]Soren[/name]
[name]Brighton[/name] & [name]Everett[/name]
[name]Alden[/name] & [name]Rhett[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name] & [name]Keenan[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name] & [name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Emrys[/name] & [name]Edric[/name]
[name]Arden[/name] & [name]Emil[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] & [name]Finley[/name]
[name]Darius[/name] & [name]Amias[/name]

Or some other combinations thereof.
