Twin names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m],

I’m currently pregnant and it’s my second pregnancy. And I’m having twins! A boy and a girl but im struggling with names ive come thought of a few pairs:

[name_m]Joshua[/name_m] and [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_m]Colton[/name_m] and [name_u]Kalani[/name_u]
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and [name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_m]Austin[/name_m] and [name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_u]Conner[/name_u] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_u]Max[/name_u] and [name_f]Mackenna[/name_f]/[name_f]Mackayla[/name_f]/[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_m]Hale[/name_m] and [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]
[name_u]Sam[/name_u] and [name_f]Skyla[/name_f]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]

(Sorry for the long list) my Last name is [name_m]Evans[/name_m] if that helps and my daughters name is [name_f]Ariah[/name_f],any opinions or any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you prn. [name_f]Ariah[/name_f]? Like [name_f]Aria[/name_f] or [name_f]Mariah[/name_f] without the M?

I think my favourite of your pairs to go with [name_f]Ariah[/name_f] is [name_m]Austin[/name_m] and [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] as they have the same 2000s vibe and they wouldn’t leave [name_f]Ariah[/name_f] being the only one whose name doesn’t start with the same letter.

[name_f]Ariah[/name_f] is pronounced A-Ri-ah( the I is pronounced as an I not an “ee” sound) and thank you for your input it’s greatly appreciated

I agree with Opheliaflora - [name_m]Austin[/name_m] and [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] would be my favourite and it would be nice to keep the A theme going. However, that may be difficult if you’re planning on having more children.

[name_u]Sam[/name_u] and [name_f]Skyla[/name_f] are a close second. They sound nice with [name_f]Ariah[/name_f] as well :slight_smile:

Your taste seems to be names that were popular in the last 20 years, trendy names, with bit of Hebrew thrown in. However, while Ariah does have a modern/trendy feel, it’s not very common at all (though I suspect a lot of people used this name but pronounce it like Arya/Aria, not the way you are saying it, and that moved it up the popularity list a bit). I would try to find some names that are familiar but not popular to bridge that gap.

I think Joshua and Noah are the best out of the boys you’ve listed. Noah is very popular, Joshua not quite as much. I would also suggest Lukas/Lucas, Elias, Levi, Judah, Gabriel, Zachary, Nathaniel, and Asher. They all come with fairly popular nicknames but they aren’t in-your-face popular.

Naomi and Kalani seem to be the girls with the most flair to match Ariah. I’d also consider Ayla, Linnea, Gianna, Jessa, Adara, Eva, and Zara.

I would make these pairings:

Asher and Adara/Ayla
Lucas/Levi and Linnea
Elias and Eva
Judah/Joshua and Jessa
Gabriel and Gianna
Zachary and Zara
Nathaniel/Noah and Naomi

Levi and Linnea are probably my favorite. Ariah, Levi and Linnea. I also think they look nice written together. Eva and Elias would be my second choice. Asher and Adara would be my second choice, but I think three A names might lock you into a pattern that you don’t necessarily want.

From your list, I love [name_m]Colton[/name_m] and [name_u]Kalani[/name_u]. They go along with [name_f]Ariah[/name_f] perfectly, and have the same first sound without being too matchy. Here are some other ideas:
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f] & [name_m]Brendan[/name_m] (means [name_m]Prince[/name_m] & [name_f]Princess[/name_f])
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] & [name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Jada[/name_f] & [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
