My personal favourite in terms of flow is [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]… but that one is a little on the nose - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just depends on you preferences. Otherwise I like [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

I think [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is lovely - a good strong slightly quirky choice. I also think [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is very nice, a little more of a traditional option. [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] sounds quite nice too.

I wouldn’t go with [name_m]Castor[/name_m], as much as I love it, due to [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Castor[/name_m] being very astronomical (both constellations), as well as [name_m]Castor[/name_m] & [name_m]Pollux[/name_m] being twin boys in Greek Mythology, which might be a bit much on a twin.

I’m not a fan of [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] myself, due to its violent connotations, but it does flow well enough with [name_u]Orion[/name_u].

  1. [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] or [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
  2. [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]
  3. [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Castor[/name_m]
  4. [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]

[name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] stuck out to me, because it gives a little balance to the name (just in case he’s not as much of a namenerd as you and wants something more normal to go by). But [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is a close second for flow purposes.

I like [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], but I also like [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Castor[/name_m]!

[name_m]Castor[/name_m] matches [name_f]Callista[/name_f] very well, and the middle name [name_f]Io[/name_f] for [name_f]Callista[/name_f] matches Orion… I know some people dont like when twins “match”, especially fraternal twins… but my twin brother and I share matchy middles and love it ([name_f]Margaret[/name_f] & [name_m]Garrett[/name_m]).

I love the space theme with [name_f]Callista[/name_f] [name_f]Io[/name_f] & [name_u]Orion[/name_u]. I would go for [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] personally-- it’s so handsome!!! (& It sticks to the space theme without being overly obvious, just like [name_f]Io[/name_f].) I think [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] is handsome, but a little repetitive, considering [name_u]Orion[/name_u] was a hunter.

(I must note that I am biased, [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] is one of my favorite names that I would consider for my own son.)

Hey all! Soooo my twins arrived early and we went with an option not even mentioned, [name_u]Rigel[/name_u]. My sister mentioned it and I love how it sounds with [name_u]Orion[/name_u] and how it fits with the space theme! Thanks for all of your input though!

I love it! Go for it! Congratulations on your twins!!!
