Twin boys - which combination?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], * My husband and I are expecting twin boys, don’t know if they are identical or not. We decided on the names, but can’t decide on which first and middle combination. Which combination, 1 or 2, do you like best (and if possible why)? *

[name_m]Darwin[/name_m] [name_m]Tyr[/name_m]
[name_m]Lochlann[/name_m] Aulë *

[name_m]Darwin[/name_m] Aulë
[name_m]Lochlann[/name_m] [name_m]Tyr[/name_m] * *

We live in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] so use the Irish spelling of lochlann. Aulë is pronounced ‘Auwluh’ and [name_m]Tyr[/name_m] is pronounced as the first syllable of [name_u]Tiernan[/name_u]. * Thanks for your input :slight_smile: * *

I love the second set of combos. Great name choices, by the way. I love them!

I vote for set #2

The second

I prefer the second set - I’m particularly partial to [name_m]Lochlann[/name_m] [name_m]Tyr[/name_m], and I think it sounds like a stronger name than [name_m]Lachlann[/name_m] Aulë (to my untrained and non-Irish ear, anyway!)

I prefer the 2nd set.
