Names for b/b Twins...?
I'm having twins in August, and we've yet to determine their sexes. For boys, we like these Hugo & Edgar or Edgar & Victor.I love those names, but lately I've been feeling that I've overlooked our original list. Do any of the following stand out to you? Which pairings sound like a twinset to you? Casimir
Caspar
Sebastian
Bram
Lazarus
Absalom
Rupert
Barnabas
Alfred
Dashiell
Ambrose
Dante
Calix
Ferdinand
Pascal
Alphonse
Ignatius
Constantin/Constantine
Cosimo
Benedict
Felix
Augustin/Augustine
Raphael
Claude

I think that the names you've got sound just fine. Hugo and Edgar would be great. What are your other children named again?

Hugo and Edgar are at the top of the list, and I think they're staying there. My other two are George and Philomena.

Ignatius and Dashiell are on my short list for twins, but not together (Dashiell with Cordelia, and Ignatius with Blaise).I like
Benedict with Felix or Constantine
Pascal with Alphonse or Ambrose
Lazarus with Raphael
Sebastian with Barnabas or Ignatius
Victor with Hugo ;-)I'm glad someone else likes Pascal. ♥

I wish I could use Victor with Hugo, but Victor Hugo holds me back. And I love Pascal, as well as Pasquale.

You've got such a great taste, wow!First of all, I LOVE Edgar & Hugo AND Edgar & Victor. I couldn't decide between those two combos, really!
From your list, I love:
Casimir
Caspar
Sebastian
Bram
Rupert
Barnabas
Alfred
Ambrose
Calix
Ferdinand
Ignatius
Cosimo
Benedict
Felix.Are you going to give your twins middle names? Because that would also be a way to use more names from your list and be happier maybe...
The names I've listed above all "stand out" to me, I couldn't name a particular one. But maybe I'll find some of them that sound like a pretty twinset to me...
Rupert & Ambrose
Rupert & Ignatius
Ambrose & Ignatius
Alfred & Benedict
Felix & Caspar
Barnabas & Ferdinand
Sebastian & Ignatius
Calix & Dante - very cool twinset, but I'm not THAT fond of Dante as a first name. I love Calix, though.
These twinsets I'd love, but I find most of the possible combos of these names very good. There are some French names among them and I'm just not sure how they would be pronounced in English, but if they were pronounced French, I'd like Alphonse too.
As a twinset, I'd then like: Raphael & Alphonse and Claude & Pascal.
But I dislike Raphael, Claude and Pascal. Especially Pascal.

Thanks! Yeah, the French names are a must, as my other half thinks his heritage should be more present in our kids names. This is after I named the other two with English/Italian names. :DOur combos are: Hugo/Victor Ferdinand Alphonse
Hugo/Victor Aurelien Marcel Edgar Dashiell Victor
Edgar Dashiell ClaudeI really like the possibility of Rupert and Ambrose, but I'm not sure I will be allowed to use it. :(

Benedict & Alphonse
Augustine & Cosimo
