HelpTwin or multiple names
Curious if you had a name picked out that you liked for boy and girl once you found out you were expecting but then found out you were expecting multiples who would need to rethink their names. Or would you not really care. Also to add another question to the mix if you like being surprised by the gender would you still want to be surprised by the gender with multiples? I feel like the amount of names one would need to come up with would be overwhelming. All this is hypothetical but someone out there has had to have experienced this.
I personally don't think I would need to change names. I would be more inclined to find out genders so I didn't have to come up with multiple girls and multiple boy names and then have to decide day of which one we thought was the best fit. I think if I was having twins I would be more likely to name the kids after both Grandma's or both Grandpa's or something like that

I'd use family or friend names anyway. It would be fun to name multiples, but I'd rather have singletons: less difficult all round. I slightly know a man who has riotous triplet daughters, can't recall their names, but apparently they are astonishing.
I wouldn’t change. I would use my favorite names regardless. I think I’d want to know the gender anyway.
I wouldn't change a thing. I'm really not a fan of making twins/multiples names different just because they're multiples. It's no different from naming singletons imo.
In terms of finding out sex to ease naming, I have no problem coming up with 2 names for each, even if I couldn't use my top names. However, I'm sure having an S/O to consider would make things more complicated.

I mostly agree but for my sister they named their twin boys after their deceased fathers. If you have 1 child you have to do 1 or the other or neither. If they had 1 I don't think they would have gone with their dad's names
I would rather have the names decided than having to decide the day of delivery.
Most of us have come up with names for all scenarios, haha!
Agree. I have at least three first and middle names for boys and girls.
