I am expecting fraternal twin boys. We have a three year old son named Jack. My husband and I like english names. Our short list is:<\/p>\n

Thomas (Tom)
William (Billy or Will)
Charles (we only have this name chosen for the nickname Charlie, we both don’t really like Charles)
Henry<\/p>\n

names we can’t use:
Harry<\/p>\n

Our last name begins with H and sounds like Harper.<\/p>\n

I love the name Henry but I’m unsure how I feel about alliteration ie. Henry Harper.<\/p>\n

Any further suggestions would be welcome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since you have your doubts about both Henry and Charles, I vote for Thomas and William. They’re great together, great with your first son’s name, great with your surname, and they have compatible nicknamingness: Thomas\/William, Tom\/Will.<\/p>\n

Another possibility to add to the list is Edward, though I wouldn’t use it with William because of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. I like the way it sounds with your surname. Edmund would be a good option, too. Or Simon? Simon and Edmund Harper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
