Naming our twin boys.

I am nearing 35 weeks pregnant with our twin boys - who are still unnamed. We just can't agree. He was set on Zack and Luke (Not Zachary and Lucas) for a very long time. Still is actually. But I made him go through a big long list of names and give me 5-10 he really likes and would be happy using.  Needless to say, I was surprised by his list this morning!  (His name suggestions have been a bit whacky).  I've tried to pair them up with some "Matchy" some not. So after using his list and pairing them with names I like here's what we have: 

Sawyer and Silas (Same initial)
Logan and Landon (Same Initial)
Ashton and Brady/Brody (A/B names)( can't tell if he said Brady or Brody)
Zack and Logan (Totally different unconnected names)
Clayton and Henry (Totally different unconnected names)

I don't want opinions on these names, just pick your favorite or suggest a better combo using these names (Its taken us FOREVER just to get some of these names!)

If I were choosing, they'd be Henry and Silas.

Luke is nice, too. Maybe Henry and Luke.

Maybe

Do you only like the matchy names together, or do you like them on their own? I think the matchy names are cheesy... they don't need to match; they are their own persons.

I love Silas. (Will be LOs MN) I also like Brady/Brody, Ashton and Henry.

1st choice: Henry and Silas. Looove!!!

If I was choosing directly from this list? Ashton and Brady, I think.

I'm ok with mixing up the names on the list.  I also like Henry and Silas but I am trying to pair one of his with one of mine - those are both mine :/   He's big on matchy names and I couldn't care either way.  So I settled for some with a matching initial to bargain :)

Of the matchy ones, I like Silas and Sawyer.

Henry and Sawyer would be fine, too.

Just don't do Logan and Landon. I have a hard time distinguishing between those names at the best of times.

They do sound really similar and look similar don't they.... I wondered about that....

I like Luke and Henry.  I do like Zack, but I don't think of it as a stand alone name more of a nn.

I like Zach and Luke best. The names scream all boy to me! I'm not particularly a fan of the match twin names because I think they're both individuals and they're going to spend a lot of time "matching" throughout their life.
Me - 32, DH - 32. We have been TTC #2 since January 2012.
BFP on 12/3/12, EDD 8/19/13, U/S 1/17/13 showed blighted ovum, d&c 1/24/13
BFP on 4/19/13, EDD 12/29/13, u/s 5/20/13 showed baby with heart rate of 180 bpm! Yea, baby! Daisypath Anniversary tickers BabyFruit Ticker

I like Silas and Brody together. If you can't agree on just 2 why not use another name on your list for the middle names?

I agree completely. I really dislike matchy sibling names, and I think Henry and Silas are great.

Silas and Asher

Brady and Landon

Luke and Elias

I was going to suggest this (Henry & Luke) because this baby is going to be Henry, and if we have another boy, it'll be Luke!  Love those names

I say Logan with anything other than Landon. I prefer less matchy I guess.

 On that list, I'd say Logan and Sawyer (which is NMS but I think they go well together) or Logan and Zack.

If you prefer Landon, I'd rather pair it with Henry or Silas.
