Names For Twins

If you think that finding a name for one baby is a problem, how about twins?!

There are many reasons for treating your twin babies as individuals rather than a pair, but many parents want names for their babies that go together. Remember that all the advice about making sure the first and last names go together, and the initials don't spell something unfortunate, apply equally to twins.
