Naming twins - twice as stressful!!

We just found out that we are having twins. Besides being totally stressed out about everything else, I am freaking about naming them.

We have five children already:

Joseph Tyler (Joey)

Ashlynn Taylor (Ashlynn)

Donald Austin (Austin)

Lance Eli (Eli) and

Jacob Colton (Jake)

As a joke, I have always said if I had twin girls, their names would be Cassidy and Kennedy, but since we are more likely to have twin boys given our history I have no idea what to name them.

Need opinions on

g/g Cassidy Hope and Kennedy Faith

b/b Ian ?? and Evan ???

b/g need some serious ideas here

Thanks,

Donna

My two favorite girl names are Ava and Kenley. I have a girlfriend who swears she's gonna name twin girls Elle and Emme. (pun intended) I also love Bella.

Boys names...I'm no help. We just decided on a name for our babyboy. Took 6 months and lots of frustration.

If i had twins i allways said i would name them

Boys: Ask / Askur and Adam , the first man in nordic mythologi and first man in the bible,

Girls: Embla and Eva , again first woman in nordic mythologi and first woman in the bible.

And if i got one boy and one girl it would be: Frej and Freja or Balder and Nanna also Gods and Godess of the nordic mythologi.

Yes I'm swedish and these names are still in use.

Well for sons why not Bastian and Fabian?

ANd for girls Lily and Rose?

I bet you're hoping for girls after having 5 boys! Cassidy and Kennedy are way too close for twins IMO. Cassidy is ok, but Kennedy is just so popular these days. Ian and Evan are also pretty close....for a girl and a boy I like Evan and Cassidy.

No idea if these are your style, but if I had twins I would probably name them:

Micah & Joel

Esther & Miriam (or Rachel and Naomi)

Micah & Rachel

As for your choices, I just met two brothers named Eben and Ian (close to Evan and Ian!)

Cassidy and Kennedy are NMS.

However, I love Hope and Faith.

Maybe: Cassandra Hope and Kendra Faith? Cassie and Kendra?

Or Cassandra Hope and Camille Faith - Cassie and Cami?

B/G - I would just pick my two favorite names! So maybe:

Evan and Hope

Ian and Faith

I like Cassidy and Kennedy and think they work well with your other children's names. My general impression is that the boys names have a Western flair and the girls an Irish flavor (I'm assuming Ashlynn is a girl but I'm sorry if I'm wrong). I don't love Hope and Faith as MNs - it seems a lot of people do this for twin girls. But it you love them - go for it - they certainly sound nice together.

For boys, I think Evan is great. Don't like Ian because your one son goes by Eli and that sounds way to similar. How about Owen, Tristan, Blake, or Colby (since Jake doesn't go by Colton.

All the best!
