Samson Ezra and Henry Rowan One grandfather is Samuel and the other is Harry

Paternal grandfather was Duncan Hector, and maternal grandfather was James Wellington.
so, I'll use Duncan Hector as is, I like it, and the other twin, James Kenneth, or perhaps Kenneth James. Kenneth was my father's name.
Wellington is a bit flamboyant, can't see a child enjoying that. Maybe, though?So-
Duncan Hector
Kenneth James.

Both my grandfathers were named Thomas and known as Tom - and not a middle name between them!So, luckily their lns were both derived from fns, which would give me:Thomas William
David ThomasNot the best, but let's assume they're identical twins so the repeated name could perhaps be excused.

My grandfathers were Rögnvaldur (no middle name) and Jozef Norbert.If I wanted to name my sons after them, I'd name them Ragnar Jozef and Normann Valdór.

My paternal grandfather was called Jan, he died when my dad was young so I don't really know anything about him or his middle name(s).
My maternal grandfather is named Kjell Torsten Sixten, and my twins would be:
Sixten Vincent Oliver & Jan Elis Benjamin

Shane Conrad & Blake Robert. Conrad was my maternal grandpa, and Robert was paternal; also, Shawn and Blake are on my list, but I had to use Shane because repeating sounds: SHAWN CAWN-rad. Plus, I have a thing for matching syllables with twins.

My grandfathers were Charles Pierre and Steven.Andrew Charles and Nikolai Steven

My grandfathers were Frank Edgar Clayton and Percy Vincent. I've attempted to freshen up their names a little with the combos Vincent Flynn and Edgar Maxwell. "Vinnie" and "Eddie"

My paternal grandpa is Richard Frank, and my maternal grandfather (who I did not know well) was Donald Charles.Richard Francis is something I could easily name a son. And keeping the "Don" part, Donovan Charles is handsome, I think. So... Richard Francis & Donovan Charles!

Mine were John Raymond "Jack" and Roelof Philip "Rudy".If I didn't already have my kids named for them and I was having twin boys I would have...Solomon Rudy and Raymond John

Took me a while to work out what grandfather twins meant haha.
Both my grandads have quite identifiable names, so I’ll use similarish names (Abdul and Albert).Walter Haytham Abdul & Albert Isidore Hugo

My grandfathers were
Charlie Clayton & Thomas Wilton.While Clayton and Wilton would make a decent twinset, I'm not a fan.If I had to choose direct names, I'd choose Charlie and Thomas.
Charlie Sebastian James and Thomas Evander JudeIf they didn't have to be direct, I'd change Charlie to Charles and just call him Charlie.But that would get crazy because my sister is also named Charlie.
My mother wanted to name me Clay had I been born a boy because her father passed away when she was a teenager and she wanted to honor him.

my grandfathers were/are Miles and Robert. i wouldn't want to name my children after either of them, frankly, but if i had to... maybe Miles Vincent and Theo Robert.

My grandfathers were called William and Harry (like the princes)I like both their names but I wouldn't use them both as first names because living in the uk everyone would associate brothers called William and Harry to the princes.I would use Adrian William and Harry James.

My grandfathers were Jack Raymond and Rudolph "Curtis".I would name my boys August Jack and Hawthorn Curtis.
