Congrats! Alexander James I like and Ashlyn I also quite like. Janella is not really my style. I'd prefer Ashlyn Isabella.

Congratulations to you and your husband on the arrival of your two little blessings! You must be on cloud nine. I wish you all the best of luck. Welcome to the world Alexander & Ashlyn!*By the way, Alexander James is a very nice combination...great names! Ashlyn is okay but I prefer Aislinn/Aislynn; I've never heard of Janella, but I really like it...the combination is lovely! Once again, congratulations!

The names you chose are fine for twins. I have 6 kids have yet to see any piece of mail that comes to them addressed as just their initials and then surname, so I don't buy that complaint. The names are completely different except for the initials. It's not as if you named them Ashley and Ashlynn or Eric and Erica. Congratulations and enjoy your new blessings!

Congrats! The name are very nice. I really like Alexander James and Ashlyn.

Alexander James is okay, but I only really like the feminine form of Alexandra. Ashlyn Janella is not my style & IMHO it doesn't measure up to the classic style of the other combo.

Congratulations! Alexander James - love it, a very strong, classic name.
Ashlyn Janella - nmsaa, too trendy, looks made-up or compiled, has no 'substance' imo. I imagine that having the same initials is going to make for some confusion in the future...

Those are absolutly gorgeous names! I love them both! And I know most people would say they are too theme-y, but I think it's cute! Congrats!! I hope I can have twins some day, they seem like so much fun!

I think you named your children what they were meant to be named! Who cares what other people think ultimately? It's fun to play around on here, esp. BEFORE you have the baby (in this case babies) but after, it's pretty much a done deal. Alexander and Ashlyn are great names for twins.....and if people don't think so, don't worry about it.... People become their name, and nothing else would have been right. Congratulations on your newest arrivals!

Congrats! And those are very cute names. They're alike in a cute twin way, but still different that they can be they're own separate persons.

Congrats! ^_^I like Alexander James and don't really care for Ashlyn, but Ashlyn Janella is a pretty ok combo. Unlike the others I think this AJ theme is ok as long as the names aren't as similar as Alexander James and Alexandria Jamie or something that close. And once again Congratulations! ^_^---------------------------------------------------------------------

I like Alexander James, and I prefer the spelling Ashlynn. But, I'm completely against the naming theme you've created, as it's very tacky and immature looking to me. I dislike twins having same initial first names and middle names, much less them both being the same at the same time. I'm sorry to be blunt.

Alexander James is great.Ashlyn is nms (although Aislinn is alright) and Janella is ok.Personally, I think you'll regret your name choices the first time they have a bitter row because a letter has been opened by the wrong A.J. Surname . . . but nevermind!
