Congratulations on your twins!

As a twin mom, I know how exciting it is to pick out baby names for your little ones. But let’s face it, choosing the perfect names for twins can be a little tricky. That’s why we’re offering some tips, below, on how to pick out baby names for twins. Picking out names for twins can be so much fun! Our baby name generator tool can help you. Whether you’re having two boys, two girls, or one of each, it’s fun to brainstorm all of the names you like, let’s get started!

My husband and I sat down and each made a list of the names we liked. Then we said out loud the names we liked the best. It turns out that we liked one of the same names already, and the second name stood out to us and was easy to pick. We did all of this probably within 20 minutes. I’m sure this is rare. So, for those of you struggling to get on the same page with your partner, or just having a tough time deciding, here are some ideas that might help you, below.

Decide on a theme

Many twin parents choose to give their babies names that have a similar theme or sound. For example, you could choose names that both start with the same letter, or have the same number of syllables. You could also choose names that have a similar meaning or origin. My husband and I chose the same first letter for our babies.

Consider their individuality

While it’s fun to give your twins names that sound good together, it’s important to remember that they are individuals. Some parents opt to choose names that are completely unique, rather than choosing names that go together. There is nothing wrong with either option.

Think about nicknames

Twin names often come with nicknames, so make sure you’re comfortable with the shortened versions of the names you choose. It’s also a good idea to choose twin names that have different nickname options to avoid confusion. I also like to look at the initials and how they’ll go together. I tried to avoid spelling a weird, random 3-letter word, because it’s fun to get things monogrammed, but not if it’s awkward.

Don’t forget about middle names for twins

Middle names are a great way to give your twins additional individuality. You could choose middle names that have special meaning to your family, or names that reflect your cultural heritage. For us, picking out the middle names was our favorite part. We chose a name with an Irish spelling, because that is where we went for our honeymoon.
