Twin names: 500 of the best baby name ideas for twin boys and twin girls

Twin names can be fun to choose, we've rounded up 500 of the sweetest twin names for you and your partner to pick from.

Alongside twice the joy (and trouble) of twins comes double the number of names to choose - which may seem a bit of a challenge if you were struggling to even settle on one. With this in mind, we've compiled a HUGE list of twin names - from ones that rhyme and share the same letter to the most popular baby names - to inspire all of you parents-to-be. Or maybe take a look at the most popular US baby names or Royal baby names, for some unique inspiration?

Mum-of-twins, Dionne tells us how much fun it was choosing names; "We toyed with going rhyming like Hattie and Tattie but we just didn't feel it was very 'us'. So instead chose names that were in the same 'name family' like a palette of twin names - we chose Edith and Harriet in the end."

Finding the perfect pair of names can be fun and tricky, do the initials work? Do you like the shortened version of the name? So many variables to consider. So if you're looking for a pair of stylish monikers for your multiples then keep on scrolling...

Tips on choosing twin names:

• Whose who? Come up with a method on how you will assign each twin their name. It could be as simple as saying the first twin to arrive will take Liam and the second, Lucas. Or you might want to wait and see who looks more like a certain name.
• Traditional or modern? When it comes to settling on two names, think about how they work together. A mix of a traditional name like Margaret with a more modern name like Kylie doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. So consider pairing names that come from similar time periods.
• Do they flow? It's all very well having Sebastian and Savannah's names written down on paper, but when it comes to shouting out their names to grab their attention, you could find yourself running out of breath. Practice saying the names out loud together a few times to see if they work and aren't a bit for a mouthful.
• Can they be shortened? If you do decide on longer names for your two, then it's always good to think about potential nicknames for everyday use.
• Do you like the names individually? It's good to select two names that work together as a perfect pair but don't settle on one because it just fits with the other and vice versa. They'll be situations in life where you'll be with just one twin - so you want to make sure that your happy with their names individually too.
• Matchy Matchy? Whilst it's all well and good to pair similar names together, examples like Eliza and Elizabeth, Harry and Harrison or Emma and Emily can cause quite the deal of confusion in the real world.
