My voted went for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], gorgeous names! [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] make a lovely sibset. Anyway, I think all of those names go very nicely together. My personal choice would be:

  • [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]

I voted on [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] because they’re the only 2 that share the same syllable count as your other kids. Call me crazy, but I’m just picky like that!

This wasn’t a listed option, but I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] would be a stunning twin pair!

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] are my favourites with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m]! Traditional but unexpected, and fitting but not matchy with siblings. (I also particularly like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] as a name in itself, and much prefer [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] as a middle for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].)

I also voted for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] as my second favourite combo.

Good luck!

I love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. It is my son’s name and my favourite boy’s name ever! I know you didn’t list these combinations but I would be inclined to go with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u].

I love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] best for exactly the reasons @crispy said.

I’d avoid combos with [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], and/or [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] together. While you may avoid certain nicknames, you might end up with kids who prefer being called [name_m]Fred[/name_m] and [name_m]Ed[/name_m]. Or [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. And thats a bit much for me anyway.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_m]Rupert[/name_m].

I really like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] from your list, definitely my favorite combo in the poll options.
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is also nice.

I’ll admit though I was surprised there wasn’t an option for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]!

I love both [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u], and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]. Both sound great with [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]!

I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] would sound best together!

I think we will go for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] its our current favourite but we’d shorten them to [name_u]Freddy[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] early on to hopefully avoid them getting their own nicknames like that

I love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]!

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] was going to be my response too! That seems like a popular combo!

I voted for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] but agree with a PP that [name_u]Freddy[/name_u] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] could be an issue (even if you use [name_u]Theo[/name_u] as the nn, there’s no guarantee that it will be what [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] chooses for himself as he gets older)

I love the suggestion of [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and definitely would have voted for that. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - [name_m]John[/name_m] doesn’t seem as dynamic as other choices, plus 3 syllables vs 1
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - okay
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - voted for as best overall option
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - don’t like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] as [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] already has A initial
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Frank[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - [name_m]Frank[/name_m] seems unsubstantial. would have voted for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Franklin[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - okay
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - potential conflicting nn issue
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - [name_m]John[/name_m] doesn’t seem as dynamic as other choices, plus 3 syllables vs 1
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - A in [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], as stated above
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_m]Frank[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] would be good

You have great names here. Best of luck!

I voted for:

Frederick Louis & Theodore Lawrence - “Freddie and Theo”, love it! I prefer Frederick spelled ‘Frederic’.

Theodore Louis & Alexander Lawrence - I like the name Alexander but it’s too popular for me to use personally.

Edmund Louis & Theodore Lawrence - I love the name Edmund but prefer it as a middle name because I’m not a fan of the nicknames Ed or Eddie.

Theodore Louis & Frank Lawrence - I would do this either Theo Louis and Frank Lawrence, or Theodore Louis and Franklin Lawrence.

My own suggestions:

Frederic Louis and Franklin Lawrence - “Fred and Frank / Freddie and Frankie”.

Sebastian Louis and Frederic Lawrence - “Seb and Fred”.

Theo Louis and Frank Lawrence - I think George, Arthur, Theo and Frank sound lovely together.

I went for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I think they go with [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] very well.

Good luck!

I love the combo of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] - obviously made me think of [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] from [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women :slight_smile:

That said, I actually really like most of your combos, so voting wasn’t easy!

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] are adorable! As a few people pointed out, some of the nicknames can be bit matchy ([name_m]Eddy[/name_m] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]; [name_u]Freddy[/name_u] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]) but you can easily work around that problem by using different nicknames e.g. [name_m]Eddy[/name_m] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Mundo[/name_m] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
