It seems you really like [name\_m]Ajax[/name\_m] [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m]. How about [name\_m]Lysander[/name\_m] for the other twin? Has a similarly magical and mythical vibe without sharing initials, and begins with the same sound as [name\_f]Laila[/name\_f] (assuming it’s LIE-la?) ---

Of your options, I like the idea of [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] and [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m]! Eik is pretty cool too! Nods to [name\_f]Laila[/name\_f]: Eik [name\_u]Leander[/name\_u] Eik [name\_m]Lysander[/name\_m] / Eik Lisander [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Laith[/name\_m] Eik [name\_u]Layton[/name\_u] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_u]Lael[/name\_u] Eik [name\_m]Orpheus[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Laertes[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Lyall[/name\_m] [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] [name\_m]Lyall[/name\_m] [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] [name\_u]Layton[/name\_u] [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] [name\_m]Adlai[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Adlai[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Laius[/name\_m] With A.jax, and based on your choices, I’d add in the suggestions of: [name\_m]Ragnar[/name\_m] [name\_u]Auden[/name\_u] [name\_m]Espen[/name\_m] [name\_m]Lars[/name\_m] [name\_m]Magnus[/name\_m] Torleif [name\_u]Storm[/name\_u] [name\_m]Isidore[/name\_m] ---

I think [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] and [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] work best. Maybe [name\_u]Mars[/name\_u] or Ares/Aries? Congrats on your twins! ---

I would move [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m], or go with [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u]!

I know you said you don’t need to keep the A- trend going, but as someone who likes that, I’m going to suggest A names. You can ignore this completely if you wish. [name\_f]Aidin[/name\_f] [name\_u]Andy[/name\_u] [name\_u]Arden[/name\_u] [name\_u]Arlo[/name\_u] [name\_m]Arvid[/name\_m] ---

Huge congratulations! A.tlas and A.jax feel a little close in sound for me but certainly doable and not necessarily a big issue. [name\_m]Just[/name\_m] something to think about. I like A.tlas and [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m], Eik, or [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] as a brother set. [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] and [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u], or [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] and Eik as the twin set go really well. [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ajax[/name\_m] [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] [name\_m]Emil[/name\_m] Eik [name\_m]Soren[/name\_m] Eik [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Magnus[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] [name\_m]Markus[/name\_m] ---

Congratulations! ☀This is so sweet news ☺ I love A.tlas I.ver. and A.jax E.vander together! Really magical/ whimsical, yet masculine and handsome 😍 I personally love the suggestion Lysander, but it’s super rhymey with E.vander, so I wouldn’t use it. My mother has a twin sister and she has always told me how she struggled that my grandmother dressed them the same and wanted their names to be super similar etc, etc. I love Eik and Orion, I think they share the vibe, but are different enough. Some more ideas (names that in my opinion have something ethereal or lyrical about them. Some are softer like a woodland elf and some are more stronger like a hero in a storybook ☺): Alaric, Alasdair/ Alastor/Alistair, Ares, Aurelion, Archeron, Auberon, Ademir, Asterion, Atticus, Azarius, Aslan, Ambrose Caius, Cornelius, Celestin, Casimir, Cassius, Caspian, Cirrus/ Kiur, Cedric/ Cedar Daphnis, Dominic Elidor, Eldarion, Evren (a bit too similar to Evander tho), Erion, Elvar, Ethealdred (maybe too much? 😅) Freyr, Florian/ Florizel Griffin/ Griffith Hawthorne Isidor, Ingmar Jasper/ Jaspen Knox, Kaiea Lucian, Leodegrance, Leonidas, Leland (perhaps the most similar one to Laila), Lorchlan/ Lochlan, Layton Murtagh, Melchior Nathaniel, Noctis, Neleus Octavian, Oaken, Odin, Osias, Orson , Oceanus, Otis, Oberon Peregrin, Polaris, Percival Rowan, Rhys (Rhysand is so handsome, but maybe too much of a character name?), Raphael, Rhodes Sylvan, Stellan, Sterling, Sonder, Silas, Stark Thorin/ Thoreau, Tristan Uriel, Ulric, Uther, Ulysses, Urs Viridian/ Viridius Winslow Zephyr ---

With [name\_u]Atlas[/name\_u] [name\_m]Iver[/name\_m] and A.j@x [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] I think you should consider [name\_u]Arrow[/name\_u] / [name\_m]Aero[/name\_m] [name\_m]Amadeus[/name\_m] [name\_m]Arland[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ashe[/name\_m] [name\_u]Micah[/name\_u] [name\_u]Ezra[/name\_u] Oswald/ [name\_m]Osborne[/name\_m] [name\_u]Vale[/name\_u] ---

Eik is a really great choice!! And I think [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] has a similar meaning to [name\_f]Laila[/name\_f]. That would be a cute way to honor her.

With A.tlas & A.jax, seems to me like [name\_m]Apollo[/name\_m] is your best choice! If you’re going to have two boys with greek god/mythology names, both of which start with A, that’s a pretty strong theme. Between Eik, [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u], and [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] as first name options, I like [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u]! Eik is a bit too unusual for me, and [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m] is too long for my tastes next to brothers (plus I like the A.jax E.vander combo a lot!) Also, I loveeee the name [name\_u]Atlas[/name\_u]! I don’t think I have any new ideas beyond the comments above, but best of luck! ---

I’m glad you liked it! It was literally what it felt like. [name\_f]My[/name\_f] partner told people by saying “everything was fine, except there was one problem with the girl…”, which made more than one person at risk for a heart attack. He thought it was super funny, though. Basically everything, every combo and all names are up for debate at this point. I have thought about both [name\_m]Ajax[/name\_m] [name\_u]Orion[/name\_u] and Eik [name\_m]Evander[/name\_m], but I think I’m at that point where I’ve thought about it so much that nothing seems good anymore? Like when [name\_m]Ted[/name\_m] from How I Met Your Mother keeps saying “bowl”. (Haha, my profile pic is a really (really, really) old picture of me drinking from an inflatable flamingo cup- thingy upside down. 🙈😂)
