My husband and I are currently considering two sets of names for our twin boys. We are firmly set on [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Patrick[/name] for middle names but are unsure about first names. Which set do you like better?
Right now my husband and I are leaning toward [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Levi[/name]. There are quite a few little Sams and [name]Elis[/name] in our area, so we feel like [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] would be more unique and a little refreshing. My husband says he prefers [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] because he feels like both names are more masculine. What do you think?
Definitely [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Levi[/name]. I agree with your husband, both names sound much more masculine than [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Sam[/name]. Great choices!
I like [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Sam[/name]! A tough call, really! I don’t care for [name]Eli[/name] [name]Oliver[/name], so I’d use [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] and perhaps [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] for his brother? Then both boys could have nicknames - [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Sam[/name]. Would [name]Gideon[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] have nicknames? Giddy and [name]Lev[/name], perhaps? Cute. [name]Both[/name] are good, so I’d just go with your gut!
[name]Both[/name] sets are handsome, but I vote for [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] & [name]Levi[/name] [name]Patrick[/name], because I adore the names [name]Gideon[/name] & [name]Levi[/name] (in fact, my favorite boy name combo as of this moment is [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Levi[/name]!), and also because I find [name]Eli[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] in the first set a little hard to say. Plus, though [name]Eli[/name] & [name]Sam[/name] are great names, I vote for [name]Gideon[/name] & [name]Levi[/name] because you mentioned that there are several [name]Elis[/name] and Sams in your area already. However, having said all that, choose which set YOU like best (though it sounds like you and your husband are pretty sold on [name]Gideon[/name] & [name]Levi[/name] already!). Best wishes to you! And congrats on your twin boys-how exciting and wonderful!
