I think [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] would make absolutely brilliant twin names, or [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] (although I think I prefer [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] if that’s an option?). You have lots of lovely pairings on your list but these are definitely my favourites…

[name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] are the clear winner for me!

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] are a dreamy set and I’m also loving [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]

My favourite pairs, in order:

[name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] & [name_m]Watson[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Watson[/name_m]

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] & [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]!

I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] :slight_smile:

Excellent job narrowing down your list! I love so many of them. Favourites:

  1. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u]
  2. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
  3. [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] are far and away my favourite pair!!! [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] would work well.

My second choice would be [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] and [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts on the sets:

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]-I really like [name_u]August[/name_u]. It’s handsome, down to earth, masculine yet gentle. The nns [name_m]Augie[/name_m] & [name_u]Gus[/name_u] are both super adorable. I don’t mind [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]. It’s slightly different yet simple. [name_u]Sully[/name_u] is pretty cute, & especially as a brother to [name_m]Augie[/name_m] or [name_u]Gus[/name_u].

[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] and [name_m]Watson[/name_m]-This is probably the most unique set on the list. I don’t really love [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], but it’s kind of cool & certainly different. It seems a little more artsy next to the posher/geeky (cute geeky) [name_m]Watson[/name_m].

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u]-These are my two favorite names from your list. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] has a beautiful sound. It goes well w/[name_u]August[/name_u]. I think that [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] goes better if you plan on using nns, but otherwise this is my favorite set by far.

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]-These go well enough. Maybe a [name_u]Gus[/name_u] & [name_m]Cas[/name_m] would be a little bit too close?

[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] and [name_m]Watson[/name_m]-These pair fairly nicely. [name_m]Watson[/name_m] is not my personal favorite, but I like that it’s so quirky & different. It fits in the style w/[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]. It doesn’t really have any great nns though, does it?

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]-These are nice & Gaelic together. I like them both better w/[name_u]August[/name_u] though for some reason.

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Watson[/name_m]-These are fine together too.

[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] and [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]-These seem to be slightly different styles, but not so much so that I would say that they don’t fit.

Hopefully my rambling helps a bit. Great lists, so it’s hard to narrow down! :slight_smile:

I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] together! But [name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Watson[/name_m] would be great pairs, too.

Apparently, I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] for you. :wink:

Definitely think that [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] would not work well as a mn for [name_u]August[/name_u] because the 't’s would run into each other. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a few ideas:
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] & [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Murphy[/name_u] & [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] & [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]

[name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] gets my vote!

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Phelan[/name_m] & [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] (or [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] if you’re not set on [name_m]Thomas[/name_m])

Runner up would be [name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] (Auggie & [name_u]Sully[/name_u] is so cute!)

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] is a handsome pairing, as is [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u]. I also love [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] together, they have a very Celtic feel to them that I love.

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] these two ^

I think all of your [name_u]August[/name_u] pairings makes for a strong sibling set. [name_u]August[/name_u] is sturdy; it has a traditional feel and long historical usage, and a bit of character too. It complements [name_u]Everly[/name_u] in the very best way and I think it’s a great bridge to that third name whether it be [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] or [name_m]Watson[/name_m] (please let it be [name_m]Watson[/name_m]!).

The other thing with [name_u]August[/name_u] is the distinct ending. It flows better as a pair and avoids your twins from sounding slightly too coordinated. You’ve said you generally don’t mind two ‘n’ endings but it doesn’t sound like you’re not overly thrilled either.

Look forward to seeing more of your posts in the coming months.

I think you’re all right, I’m starting to get my heart set on [name_u]August[/name_u] and I think i have found the perfect honour middle name to go with it. I might have to fight for [name_u]August[/name_u] and let go of the reins and let my husband pick the second name from the remaining 4. I do like [name_u]August[/name_u] with all the names!

But there are still “hopefully” 10 weeks to go so I’ll have lots of time to second guess it and maybe change my mind haha

I’m loving [name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] & [name_m]Watson[/name_m]!!

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] is my favorite of your names! I like it with [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] the most.

Another vote here for [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]! [name_u]Sully[/name_u] and [name_u]Gus[/name_u] - be still, my heart!
