From the article: Names for Twins/Multiples
All parents strive to select the perfect name for their offspring, but parents of twins or multiples may find themselves particuarly challenged to make the right choice for two, three or more children. In addition to deciding on the right individual name, they have to consider how the names work together as a set. What names did you choose for your twins? And how did you decide on them?

My Twins
- We named our fraternal twin daughters Fayth Elizabeth and Grace Lynne. We have a son Caleb Philip as well, and decided to go with old-fashioned names that weren't too old-fashioned. We chose their first names as their own identity name, but their middle names each are for a beloved family member. We decided early on that we wouldn't do the "who looks like a Fayth and who looks like a Grace" with who got which name. So, we went alphabetically. They both live up to their names and I am glad we did it the way we did.

identical girls-not identical names
- We did not want the same initial, we felt they needed their own initials for labeling their bottles, backpacks, etc. We also did not want rhyming names. They share a birthday...forever. They are twins. They look a like...forever. The least we could do was give them "their own" names. I love both names, Gabrielle & Isabelle. But we had to chose only one so they wouldn't rhyme. We chose Gabrielle after the angel...since my name means messenger from God. We also chose Victoria. I liked Elizabeth with it, but my husband did not. So Gabrielle & Victoria it was. Their middle names are twinny though...Faith & Grace. We wanted names to reflect their twinship, just not "in your face" like a first name is.

My Girls
- I chose Selena Jordan and Eliana Francesca. Selena is Greek for the moon and Eliana is Greek (or Latin) for the sun. My ex-boyfriend picked out Selena's name and I picked out Eliana's. The girls, also, have our middle names. So, Selena has her father's middle name and Eliana has my middle name.

Jersey Lynn and Justice Ann
- I am a mother of these beautiful 6 month identical twin girls. I chose jersey and justice because i thought they were unique but not to much alike. LYnn is my mothers middle name. Ann is their other grandmother's middle name.

Family names and individual
- We have identical boys. 14 months old. William (Will) Greggory and James Wesly. Wesly is my father- in- laws first name. My husband wanted names everyone could spell. and had to like the nick name that others would be sure to use. William is a family name but we call him Will. James is after a close friend. Our older son Peter Dennis, his middle name is after my father and so we used my husbands father for one of the twins middle name.

Our boys
- We have identical twins and didn't want them to have matching names, as they would already have matching everything else! So we called them Clancy Duncan and Will Marlowe - Clancy is from a famous Australian poem called 'Clancy Of the Overflow' about a drover (similar to cowboy), and Duncan after a close friend, Will from William Shakespeare and Marlowe from Christopher Marlowe, another writer/poet from the same era as Shakespeare.

aunt of twin boys
- my sister named her twins Ethan Ross and Aidan Michael... Ross came from my dad's name and Michael came from my mom's (michele). They also have an older son named Tristan so all of the boys' names end in "a-n".

identical twin names
- Our daughters names are Elena Santina and Ynez Lourdes. I chose Ynez and my husband chose Elena. Our deal was we had to agree on the names each other picked out. We didn't want anything common or trendy and are happy with our choices.

I get this question alot!
- I'm a twin myself and I alllllwayys get asked this question. We're Dani Rose and Meghan Michelle, thats right they don't match at all. People seem to get confused about the fact that our names don't match, rythm or even look alike. I'll give you a hint of advice future parents of twins -- it's okay for them not to match! Because of our non-matching names, I feel more like an individual than a 'twin'. Twins are people too, not two people we always put together.
