Twenty PERFECT Pairs of Baby Boy Names for Twins

I posted Twenty Perfect Pairs of Baby Girl Names for Twins on Monday, and within 12 hours it became the 6th most popular post on the blog.  Nice.  So we figured we'd follow up with twenty pairs of baby boy names to keep the fun going.  Here it is:

1. Noah and William - Apparently, Noah is the most popular boy name right now, so that might turn people off.  Not us, though.  It's a sweet name and the pairing of a traditional, short Biblical name with a traditional...royal? name sounds good.

2. Jax and Parker - Just like with the list of girl names, we think cool, newer names ought to be paired together.  

3. Harry and Jasper - Cool and crisp. 

4. Jude and Lennon - For the Beatles-obsessed parents.  Don't worry, the kids' peers won't know it's corny until they're old enough to not be teased.

5. Charles and Samuel - Old fashioned with old-fashioned.  And Charlie and Sam sound really cute together.

6. Neil and Cyrus - Two cool, kinda badass names.  Neil wouldn't normally be considered cool, maybe, but anyone who watches Once Upon a Time knows that Neil is now a badass name.

7. Alexander and Edward - Ready to assume the throne. 

8. Lincoln and Bennett - Not your typical boy names, but they won't illicit a bunch of "wtf's," either.  

9. Frederick and George - So, I was all, "hmmm... what would go well with George?  Charlie? Nah, better with Sam..  Peter?  Maybe.  Hey, Fred goes well!" .....and THEN I remembered Fred and George Weasley.  Which makes this probably the best pair on the list.

10. Peter and Adam - Traditional, classy, but there aren't usually ten Adams or Peters in a class.  Best of both worlds. 

11. Benjamin and James - Good ring to it. 

12. Jonah and Gabriel - Both of these are sort of soft sounding, easy off the tongue names that stand the test of time.  

13. Thomas and John - Gettin' real revolutionary up in here.  'Murica. 

14. Benji and Roman - Oh, there goes the revolution trend.  Benji and Roman are relatively strange names, but they're not not normal.  It's not like naming your kids Bicycle and Peach.  Or something. 

15. Christopher and Renaldo - Ask someone who speaks fluent Spanish to say both of these names.  When they're grown men, Christopher and Renaldo are going to have undeniably hot names. 

16. Nicholas and Abe - Nick and Abe sound sweet together. 

17. Theodore and Oliver - Classy when they're grown, cute when they're kids.  (Ollie and Teddy?  Cute overload.)

18. Toby and Winston - Why not? 

19. Francis and Anthony - Lovechildren of Mindy and Danny? 

20. Max and Redding - As I've mentioned, we're not fans of pairing traditional or old fashioned names with new hip names.  BUT.  By keeping it short with Max, instead of Maxwell or Maximilian, we think you can get away with this pair.  

And bonus:  Preston and Steve - It's only fair that the parents of twin boys have the same opportunity as the parents of twin girls to hang a picture in the nursery that says "P.S I love you."

People seem to enjoy these posts, and my friends and I are having (way too much) fun coming up with names, so there's even some talk of themed-lists (think "Baby Names for the Literary Parents").  Only time will tell....
