I know this has been done before, but what are people's favourite name pairs for twins, whether twin girls, boys or both.

Also do you think that Declan and Elliot are good names for two twin boys.

I could totally see a set of twins named Declan & Elliot. I think they are balanced and similar in style.

My twin pairings are:

G/G

Matilda Emily & Eleanor Claire

B/B

Julian Edward & Felix Anthony

G/B

Oscar Jacob & Fiona Juliet

Declan and Elliot strike me as a great sibset, twins or not. They're both familiar to the eye and ear without being overused and they have a classic, understated beauty to them. I can picture them on little boys, teenagers, adults and elderly men alike without ever getting 'dated' vibes.

My favourites change on a daily basis, so if I had twins today they would be:

Leo Felix & Julius Arthur

Leo Felix & Emilia Charlotte

Emilia Charlotte & Livia Therese

Yup, today they'd all have Latin first names.

There very interesting, I like Emilia Charlotte that's great. Emilia is a favourite of mine. Livia is a great name is it short for Olivia or just on it's own

- Helena (mellon.collie)

Thank you!

On most days I go back and forth between Emilia and Emma, but today was a 'definitely Emilia' day. It holds special meaning for me.

As for Livia, I'm into Ancient Rome and the names they used, and I just find it beautiful on its own. It helps that my Nan (well, great-aunt actually) is called Olivia, so I could feasibly use it in a tribute to her.

SAFE & REALISTIC:
Hannah and Nadine for girls.
Gerard and Romain for boys.
Gerard and Nadine for combo.

A BIT BOLDER:
Eudora and Judine for girls.
Evren and Laszlo for boys.
Caspian and Miriel for combo.

GUILTY PLEASURE COMBOS:
Trina Liwayway and Mayli Dalisay for girls.
Roscoe Jove and Justus Vance for boys.
Joah Prosper and Melisande Tala for combo.

*I like Declan and Elliot. They have the same feel to them, they are masculine but not overly brutish. They are mildly popular, established, and modern. I think they happen to match well, and it's a bonus that they are not "matchy".

I've always loved the name Prosper and I've always wanted to use it for a boy. I like the Joah prosper and Melisande Tala combination though Trina and Prosper could go nicely

Gerard and Evren are both very handsome.

I think Declan and Elliot go very well together. For twins especially I appreciate two names that are a bit unexpected together, but still work well.

If I had to name twins, I wouldn't try to name them as a pair, I'd just name them as I would any other two children. Today I'd go with:
Hope Marie and Elizabeth Claire
Patrick Garth and Jonathan Idris
Hope Marie and Patrick Idris
(all mns are honoring)

I like Declan and Elliot together.

My current top choices would be:

B/B
Elias William and Theodore Charles

B/G
Elias William and Aleida Mae

G/G
Aleida Mae and Eleanor Beatrix

Declan and Elliot do work for brothers, whether twins or not. I wouldn't personally use either name though. If I had twins today I would probably think about naming them:

B/B: Asher Jesse / Moses Judah
OR
B/B: Moses Asher / Reuben Elioenai

B/G: Jesse Asher / Jemima Eden
OR
B/G: Moses Asher / Milly Eden
