We’re expecting twins — a boy and girl. The hubs and I are on the same page with names that fall in that sweet spot: unique (outside the top 50+) but familiar (easy to spell/pronounce).
Our last name is two syllables and starts with a B. We’ve also already chosen middle names that tie to family.
For our boy: _____ [name_u]Douglas[/name_u] B_____
For our girl: _____ [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B_____
