Brayden and Ryan?
Are other choice is Brayden and Luke. My husband likes Ryan and Luke too. But I like the name Brayden.

No, not too similar, just too popular and trendy, imo. Ryan and Luke would be a bit better, IMO.

I think the names are fine. I know twin boys named Brandon and Ryan and there is never any confusion. I personally like Brayden and Ryan better than Brayden and Luke or Luke and Ryan!

Ryan and Luke sounds the best because the names sound different and they fit together the best. What about Ryan (a mn) and Luke Brayden? I think Ryan Samuel and Luke Brayden work nicely.

What about Ryan something and Luke Brayden?

I don't think Brayden and Ryan pass the "yelling" test-that's to say, yelling a name from one end of the house to another. The"an-en" sounds are too much alike.
And with twin boys, you may be doing a lot of yelling.

I love the name Brade for a boy it is a GP of mine. BUT lately I have met several little girls named Braden.

Luke and Ryan sound really nice together.

I think Braden and Ryan are fine too. But I would probably drop the Y to make it look more masculine.

Sorry-meant BradeN, not Brade

I'm going to have to go with pretty much everyone else and say that Ryan and Luke is the best set of the three. Brayden is too trendy and will be super-dated soon, along with all the other -aden names.

agree. Brayden reminds me of a donkey...

Fifthing....Brayden is one of my least favourite names, sorry

Another ditto. Brayden is... horrible.

Agree also.

Ditto. Brayden is awful.

I personally don't like Brayden at all, but it is different enough from Ryan for twins.

I agree with your husband on Ryan and Luke.

Hmm...

Looking at them, I'd say they're similar, but when I say them they sound different enough, since one has the "ay" sound and one has the "eye" sound. I really like Luke and Ryan, though.

Not really, but I don't like Brayden

It's a tryndee, über-popular add-a-den name and the first part reminds me of the braying of a donkey.

Ryan and Luke would be a lovely sibling combo imo. Classic, strong, and masculine.

I think Brayden and Ryan, as well as Brayden and Luke, are fine for twin boys. Neither sounds too much alike.

I'd prefer Ryan and Luke, though, since they fit together nicely, and are very classy, handsome names.

They sound fine for twin boys, but I prefer Luke and Ryan.

I don't think they sound too much alike. I prefer Ryan and Luke, though, as I think Luke will age much better than Brayden.
