happyhomemaker25 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I can't be the only one who has done this! I have twin names all lined up if I ever happen to be so blessed. Of course right now our prayer request box is full of requests from the kids for twins and some specifically for twin boys. You know so it'd be even mom! :001_huh: Boys: Joshua Caleb Well, cause you know, 12 men went to spy on Canaan, 10 were bad and 2 were good! If you grew up in church you probably have this song stuck in your head now. :P or because the kids and I were having fun one day after our Bible lesson Peter James we already have a Jon.. LOL Girls: Maggie Belle (I won't tell you her whole name is Magnolia!) Katie Ellen Even if we don't have twins if we just happen to have two more girls the first one will be Katie Ellen and the next one Magnolia "Maggie" Belle. Or family names: Mary Ruth Martha Rose but really, I'm stuck on Katie and Maggie Boy/Girl: Alexander Michael - Alex Annabelle Marie - Annie or because I saw it on the other thread and thought it was too cute: Oliver Grayson Olivia Gabriell my first pick for boy/girl names, vetoed by DH a long time ago: Jade Marie Jordan Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I really like the names Rachel and Leah, but Leah has sad connotations, so I probably would not actually do that. (I used to want to name a daughter Lia instead.) I also like David and Jonathan. When I was a teen, I had a vivid imagination and I pre-wrote my "life story" which included quadruplets. Let's see if I can still remember the names I used (not saying I'd use them today): Boys: Auri Scott, Micha Jonathan (pronounced Misha) Girls: Licia Marie (pronounced Lee'-sha), Lia Elena I also had names lined up for an additional four boys and four girls. :lol: Rachel Eleia was one that I still kinda like, but it wouldn't go over well with anyone else. Same with Ashleigh Ruth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sarah and Miranda :lol: (that's what we named ours, dh picked them) If they had been boys they would have been Christopher Thomas and Michael Stephen, both after my dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 My favorite twins' names are Holden and Quinn. (aka Thing 1 and Thing 2 in my siggy) :D If they had been girls, they would have been Ainsley and Genevieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommytobees Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 My twins would have been: The twins I lost at 18 (young and stupid) would have been Jessica & Jamie (boy). But they were named by the presumptive adoptive family. Kyler Jeffrey & Kaleb Jamie / Kayla Renea (we weren't sure if his twin was a boy or girl.... he/she passed before birth) The two sets of twins I lost as a married adult (not-so-young and hopefully-not-so-stupid) would have been: a) Mehal Ronan & Marin/?? Rori or (the first two being a b/g combo) b) MiKayla Renea & Maeve Reanne and the second set I was convinced were girls and I was unwilling to even discuss boys names LOL. MiKayla Renea (I love that name) & Margaeli Riona. As for names I like...there are just too many. L didn't get ignored, she was just a singleton (thank heavens).

kokotg Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 We've always said that if we ever had twin boys they would be named after our two paternal grandfathers: Jasper and Leo. But my good friend just named HER baby Leo, so that one's out for me. I think if I had b/g twins I would do Susannah and William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have been thinking about twin girl names lately! We're not ready right now, and we have no history of twins in the family, but it's still fun to think about! My twin girl names are Lilly Catherine (Lilly & Pure, Catherine after a very dear friend of the family who had no children of her own.) Evelyn Grace (Life & Grace.) My boy's names have such awesome name meanings (and we didn't even plan the first one's meanings) that I can't give any other kids names that have bad/not great meanings. Even thought I LOVE Emily (rival,) Julia (bearded!) and Caleb (dog.) Ds5's name means "the champion of God is the victorious one." Ds3's name mean "firm/enduring/steadfast gift of God." Which is what he needed to be in the NICU, born at 32 weeks with some problems. I don't want to even THINK about having twin boys! The idea of having 4 boys is terrifying! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mélie Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 My husband and I are both twins - my full name is Mélisande, my twin brother is Mathieu, dh is William and his twin brother is James. We had twin names picked out for both of ours. Maximilien and Dominic were our first two picks, but we used up Max on our oldest, so if our younger son had been twins, they would have been Dominic and Benjamin. If we had twin boys now, we'd use Benjamin and Lucas. Girls would be Claire and Josephine (Josie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpskowski Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 My identical twin girls are named Sophia Grace and Willow Faith. They were mono/mono, so at high risk. I figured with the Grace of God, the wisdom (Sophia) of modern medicine, the help of mother nature (Willow), and just having Faith for healthy births, my two miracles would survive and thrive.

craftyerin Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 My b/g twins are Hazel and Charlie. I love their names. I have no idea what I'd name another set. :lol: Here are the most popular names for twinsets born in the US last year. You can see lists for b/b, b/g, and g/g sets. http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/twins.html#t0=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 How about Zoey and Joey? LOL. I follow a blog where the two youngest kids are Joe and Zoey (not twins) but it never struck me before. I wouldn't really do that to my kids. But I don't know of any really good boy-girl names. Is it because men and women hardly ever do great things "together"?

newlifemom Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well I'm Pam from Pat and Pam. My brother and sister are Donald and Debbie. We never got as far as coming up with twin names, but b/c the possibility was good that I would have twins, all our 'womb' names were sets. For example: Calvin & Hobbes [dd oldest] Boris & Natasha [ds] Bert & Ernie [dd middle] BoBo & MayMay [made up for dd youngest] Yep, we're strange. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I love the poster who refers to her kids as Calvin and Hobbes.... Oh you meant real names, no suggestions. ETA. I know Laura doesn't have twins, but I always think Calvina dn Hobbes would be perfect fake names for twins, as in if you have to make up names for your kids when posting about them online.

Keniki Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 My choices for twins would be: b/g - Aaron Michael and Alyssa Michelle g/g - Rebekah Joylynn and Rachel Julianne I never really came up with anything for twin boys.
