Twins make 7 & they need names!

General Name Discussion
1

Hello, I am a first time poster in need of some advice. I have 5 children and my husband and I are blessed with a set of twins on the way. We already know that 2 little boys will be joining our bunch but the little guys don’t have any names yet. I could use some help trying to fit some requirements. [name]One[/name] of our boys will be named after my grandmother who passed away, [name]Beatrice[/name] and the other will be named after my aunt [name]Barbara[/name]. This means that I am looking for 2 four-letter B names for boys or a B name in the middle spot for each. Any thoughts on this? I really like the names [name]Clark[/name] & [name]Vaughn[/name] so I am open to the whole 4 letter restriction although I think it would be odd if my other children have 4 letter first names and my twins do not. Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :slight_smile:

My children’s names are:

[name]Lena[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Nova[/name] [name]Sicily[/name]
[name]Penn[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]

Best Wishes,

I know these are pretty thin connections and not all 4 letters, but it was tough to try and fit in all of your requirements! I don’t think it would be all that bad if you broke the 4 letter trend, especially since you are having twins so there will be two of them not “matching” instead of one. I do like both [name]Clark[/name] and [name]Vaughn[/name], although they don’t seem to fit what you were asking for.

I love [name]Pierce[/name] & [name]Darby[/name]! I like how they subtly honor both names. Thank you! I know my requirements are a bit tricky. But they are not set in stone. I’m open to some changes…
I also like [name]Benson[/name] from the other list

[name]Do[/name] you have any combinations for [name]Pierce[/name] & [name]Darby[/name]? I’m really loving those names. I love the honoring and meaning behind them & they also fit well with my children’s names. Ideas?

(Sorry for repeats)

[name]Bram[/name]
[name]Bear[/name]
[name]Bode[/name]
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Boaz[/name]
[name]Beck[/name]
[name]Burk[/name]
[name]Bing[/name]
[name]Boon[/name]
[name]Boyd[/name]

[name]Beck[/name] ( although this is kind of associated with the singer)
[name]Bran[/name]
[name]Bram[/name]

If you are willing to go beyond 4 letters

Bengt
[name]Boris[/name]
[name]Bjorn[/name]
Bernd
[name]Bernard[/name]
[name]Barrett[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Benno[/name] ([name]Benno[/name] Schmidt is a former president of [name]Yale[/name])

[name]Darby[/name] works with the 4-letter rule:

[name]Darby[/name] [name]Beck[/name]
[name]Darby[/name] [name]Bede[/name] (as in the Venerable [name]Bede[/name])
Darky [name]Birk[/name]
[name]Darby[/name] [name]Bran[/name]

[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Benson[/name]

[name]Pierce[/name] + a monosyllabic middle does not flow well. For 4-letter B names with 2 syllables, you’ve got rather slim pickings:

[name]Boaz[/name]
[name]Bela[/name]
Bion
[name]Bode[/name]
Batu

If you’re willing to go a bit longer, more options open up for [name]Pierce[/name]:

[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Bowen[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Bannon[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Bayard[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Benoit[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Bowman[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Brogan[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Bryant[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Bryson[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Burton[/name]

What do you think of [name]Darby[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] & [name]Pierce[/name] [name]Benson[/name]?

I’m so glad you liked my suggestions! I think [name]Darby[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Pierce[/name] [name]Benson[/name] are wonderful choices. They sound like handsome twins, go nicely with your other children and subtly honour [name]Barbara[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name].

My husband is in love with the names! I think we found them. Thank you beyond words for your help. Our boys will be well named thanks to you!

12

Those are nice combos! (That was fast! By the 6th and 7th child you must be skilled at quick naming decisions.) :slight_smile:

13

Oh yes. I’d like to think it gets easier. I know what I like when I see it :slight_smile:

14

Oh wow that was an incredible process to watch! I’m so happy for you! And I am so humbled that you went with my first name suggestions! Wishing you the very best of luck.
