The The Worst Worst Twin Twin Names Names

...AND OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST TWIN NAMES!
So you found out that you need two of everything...including names. Inventing Matilda is happy to display for you the Social Security Administration's list of the Most Popular Twin Baby names for 2007. After that, we have some suggestions of our own. See our picks for the best Twin Boy Names, Twin Girl Names, Boy Girl Twin Names, and your Best Bets for Choosing Twin Names from Among the Top 100 Most Popular Names from 2007.

As you are reading through the first list of twin names, which is from the Social Security Administration's records, notice that no one really goes crazy with names and parents tend to stay within traditional twin naming rules. Inventing Matilda looks at naming twins a lot differently. To compile our lists of Twin Name Suggestions we broke several traditional rules and established a few of our own.

Inventing Matilda's Rules for Naming Twins SO YOU DON'T END UP WITH THE WORST TWIN NAMES EVER!

A) Do not use two names beginning with the same letter. Having two babies will be complicated enough without the added perk of having two very similar names. How will you mark their belongings? Will the babysitter be able to differentiate? If they play on the same team later both of their jerseys will have their first initial with their last name and then the second letter in each name, which will just look funny. NO: Matt and Marc, Adam and August, Kailey and Kalea, Olivia and Oliver...

B) No Rhyming Names...Twins gets enough attention without having to have names that rhyme. We all know that they are twins, a pair, and two peas in a pod...No one needs the rhyming names to drive the point home that these two shared a uterus. NO: Molly and Holly, Jaxon and Braxton, Hayden and Aiden, Peyton and Satan...

C) Do not do themes. NO: Faith and Hope, Archer and Carver, Fate and Destiny, Jack and Jill...

D) Do not steal famous duo names. NO: Max and Emmie, Phinnaeus and Hazel, Ross and Rachel, Starsky and Hutch, Saturday and Sunday...

See for yourself the difference when using Inventing Matilda's Rules for Naming Twins.
