Hi Swistle<\/p>\n

I am currently pregnant due in March. This is my husband and I’s first child and we have come to find out we are expecting twins! When we found out we decided that we wanted to know the gender of the babies so we could decide on names before they come. Looks like we are having a boy and a girl!<\/p>\n

I am writing because I would love to hear some of your opinions on good combinations or any other further suggestions on names we like so far.<\/p>\n

Girl names we like:
\nEmery
\nArden
\nMarley
\nSadie
\nFinley<\/p>\n

Boy names we like:
\nHarrison\/Harry
\nLiam
\nLucas
\nCalvin
\nWilson<\/p>\n

Our last name is Rogers without the R. We would like middle names to be honor names so the ones we are considering are
\nGirl: May, Rebecca, Nicole
\nBoy: William, Charles, Clinton, James<\/p>\n

I look forward to hearing your suggestions<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure which R is missing from Rogers. I’ve sent an email, and I’ll update when I know. [Update: it’s the first R that’s missing.] In the meantime, I love pairing up names. Such a fun game. Here are some combinations I might make:<\/p>\n

Emery and Wilson
\nArden and Lucas
\nMarley and Harrison
\nSadie and Liam
\nSadie and Calvin
\nFinley and Liam
\nFinley and Calvin<\/p>\n

I like it when twin names have something in common, even if it’s a very small something. I like that Sadie and Liam are both nickname names. I like that Finley and Liam share a “lee” sound. I like that Finley and Calvin are both six-letter, two-syllable names with three-letter, one-syllable nicknames, and that they share an “in” sound. I like the musical theme of Marley and Harrison, but maybe it’s too much. I like that Arden and Lucas both have five letters. It’s not that I’d sacrifice a name I liked better in order to force a coordination—but I do like when it works out that way.<\/p>\n

More girl names to consider:<\/p>\n

Brinley
\nDelaney
\nEllery
\nEllison
\nEmlyn
\nEverly
\nGarnet
\nHolland
\nHollis
\nMarlowe
\nQuincy<\/p>\n

More boy names to consider:<\/p>\n

Anderson
\nDavis
\nDavison
\nElliot
\nEmmett
\nEverett
\nGrant
\nLawson
\nMarcus
\nNolan
\nThompson
\nTruman
\nWesley<\/p>\n

Choosing two names at once can be overwhelming. One of the techniques that helped me the most when I was naming twins was to pretend I was NOT having twins, and that they were born one at a time. Our girl baby was Baby A, so I would pretend that I was pregnant with only one baby, a girl, and I would try to figure out what we would name her. Once I had that name in mind, I would pretend that it was some years later and now I was pregnant again, with a boy; what will we name HIM?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
