Twin names - popular trends

Same initial letter for both names
Goodness me - just look at the top ten names for twins.

  • Jacob and Joshua...
  • Madison and Morgan...
  • Landon and Logan...

- that matching first initial is hot! So think carefully - do you like this kind of combo? Don't forget, your twins will end up with the same initials for first and surname (presumably.)

Similar sounding names
What do you think about Emma and Ella? Too similar? We also have Christian and Christopher, Taylor and Tyler, and Ethan and Evan. These names also have the same initial letter.

A little too similar? Many parents didn't think so!

Similar themes
The strongest theme tying these top names together is the Biblical element, with

  • Jacob and Joshua
  • Daniel and David
  • Isaac and Isaiah
  • Faith and Hope

for example.

You could also try considering twin names with a different thematic connection.

Similar sound at the end of the name
Gabriella, Isabella, Ava and Ella, Hannah and Sarah, Alexander and Christopher - this is another way you can match your twin names.
