Delphia Posy
Moses Donovan

---

Not the best flow, but they're all (sort of) honoring names.

---

Delphia and Moses are after my 4th great grandmother and 5th great grandfather. I don't know any fantastic things about them other than they have lovely names that I liked prior to learning of the familial connection. It's a happy coincidence.

---

Donovan is after my mother, Donna. Posy is after my father, Joseph. It's derived from Josephine's nickname Posy. A bit of a stretch but it works.

For girls I'd go with Cosima and Reverie... or maybe i'd play it safe with Miriam and Phoebe. For boys I'd use Felix and Malcolm. For g/b I'd probably do Miriam and Tobias.

Well, right now I'm really liking Rex Alastair and Cleo Anastasia. But my all-time favorites are:

---

Raphael Henry and Aurelia Iris
Samson Jude and Zelda Marigold
Cormac Peregrine and Cressida Mercy
Damian Arthur and Freya Marianne

I've never really thought too much about twin names to be honest so I don't really have favourites, but I think these sort of "belong" together as siblings:

---

Rex & Lili
Petra & Magnus
Clark & Calvin
Roger & Molly
Isaac & Evelyn
Horatio & Nell
Alice & Eliot
Otto & Pearl
Ruth & Violet
Zoe & Sophia
Estelle & Celeste

G/B: Daphne Snow && Rafe Allen or Barnaby Hayes && Bernadette Snow

---

G/G: Viveka Briar && Katya Clover

---

B/B: Hawkins Everett && Lennox Ambrose

B/B: Alexander & Oscar
G/G: Anna & Cecilia
B/G: Alexander & Anna

---

I'd name twins the exact same thing I'd name two siblings born one after the other *shrugs*

(These are just names that I thought of in response to this post that I think go well together as possible twin names.)

My twins

What I might use if I have twins

---

BB: Solon and Orion, maybe Ramses and Orion (I used to love Tycho and Jochem for BB twins)
GB: Nova and Orion
GG: Nova and Era

---

GPs:
BB: Ramses and Osiris (I might consider really using Ramses, but Osiris is definitely GP only)
BG: Fabian and Leocadia "Fay and Leo"
GG: Ravenna and Verona (I've loved this since forever)

---

edited: and just for the hell of it, the full combos of the names I'd use (all MNs honouring/special meaning):

---

Nova Odilia Elodie
Era Catharina Philippa

I've ignored accent marks in this whole post because I'm on an old computer, but I'd use accent marks where they're supposed to be.

---

I don't know about personally, but I have written plenty of twins in my stories over the years. I like them or I wouldn't have used them. They're from various times and places.

---

B/B: Lachlan & Blair (These were originally twins, but I later switched them to a year apart.)
G/B: Sian & Fionan
B/B: Shalev & Judah
B/B: Miles & Murray
G/G: Helena & Eva
B/B: Lucan & Evandrus (These are weird, but have significance in the story.)
B/B: Salem & Hadley (Might make these non-twins too. Can't decide. They're fairly new.)

---

There are more, but I can't remember them.

---

And I'm planning future twins named Florence & Atlas where I mess up everyone's minds with Florence being the boy and Atlas being the girl and everyone hates me for confusing them. Figure it's better to do that in a book than in real life.

---

In real life, I might would use:

---

B/B: Darcy Alexander & Finley Marlowe
G/G: Georgiana Eponine & Estella Juliet (I'm well aware that Eponine is a passing fancy for me and I wouldn't use it if it came down to it, but this is just me having fun.)
B/G: Hadley Enjolras & Frances Juliette (I wouldn't use Enjolras either...most likely, but I'm rereading Les Mis right now and these names are all so lovely.)

My ultimate GP twin names that I would possibly consider using for their middles are Athena and Minerva. For two girls at the moment I love Roberta and Erika.
I also like Tobias and Sebastian, not only are they my top two boys names but I think they sound gorgeous together.
Some other ones which are obviously connected in a way that possibly make them unusable:
Phoenix (b) and Ember
Albert and Isaac
Bartholomew and Balthazar
Sky and Brooks (both boys)
Guinevere and Merlin
Devon and Sydney (both boys)
