Twin Boys: Topher & Link

Looking for some input on a pair on names for twin boys arriving in less than two months…

[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Joe[/name_m]
&
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]

We are 100% on their first names. We’ll most likely call them “[name_m]Topher[/name_m]” & “[name_m]Link[/name_m].”

[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Joe[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] is my first name. “[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]” is my paternal grandfather’s middle name … I like the [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] but does it sound distinguished to you? [name_m]How[/name_m] does it sound paired with [name_m]Joe[/name_m]? I’m not a big fan of [name_m]Joe[/name_m] (I think it’s too plain.) but my wife is dead set on it because it’s her dad’s middle name.

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
We both [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]. It’s the only name that’s not “family” in the two names. [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is my dad’s middle name.
Should we avoid pairing [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] with [name_m]Robert[/name_m] (my father-in-law’s name) because robert [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] was the name of [name_m]Abe[/name_m]'s most prominent son?

Any advice? Suggestions? Re-arranging?

Their older siblings are [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] Ronen and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_u]Kaye[/name_u] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].

If you’re worried about [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] and [name_m]Robert[/name_m] together (I don’t think it’s a problem at all though, btw), how about rearranging just slightly to [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] and [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Joe[/name_m]?

Either way, I really like both names you’re considering. They sound handsome and distinguished in full, come with built-in cool and quirky nicknames, and are chock-full of family significance. Great choices!

I also love [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] and [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]! I would definitely use them. My only edit would be to make it [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Joe[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], but that’s just a small preference of mine and the names are great as they are.

Great names! Goes great wIth [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. Congratulations
