Twin Names

As y'all know my lovely wife Valerie and I are having boy/girl twins. Any day now. We have chosen to keep the names a secret...but I can let you know something. With that in mind I present to you this list of the top rejected twin names.

Believe it or not, these names were all suggested to us. Some were more serious than others, but somebody thunk 'em all up. We appreciate the thoughtfulness and suggestions, and some of these are mine too, but for one reason or another these names didn't make the cut. Apologies if anyone feels as though they're being picked on, but some of you made a lot more suggestions than others. I've been trying to write all the suggestions down when they come up, and there have been some we've liked. This is not a complete list (nor does it include names from the early stages before we knew they were fraternal) but they are the most interesting.

So without any further ado, and in no particular order, here is:

THE TOP 25 REJECTED BRINK TWIN BABY NAMES

1. Jack and Jill (the most suggested one)

2. Emma and Ethan

3.Zack and Zoe

4.Daisy and Uncle Jesse (sorry Derek)

5. Binky and Bubbles (sorry Tessa)

6.Freddie and Flossie

7. Billy and Barbara

8. Hannah and Otto (briefly considered for the palindrome)

9. Jack and Diane

10. Jacob and Isabelle

11. Paul and Paula

12. Wilhelm and Wilhelmina (sorry Lori)

13. Bobby and Cindy

14. Bert and Nan

15. Boris and Natasha (sorry..well, just... sorry)

16. Theo and Vanessa

17. Anna and Andrew

18. Clarence and Claire

19. Fiona and Quinn

20. Charlie and Danielle

21. Butterfly and Bumblebee (I get it Elizabeth, but it's weird)

22. Luke and Laura

23. Connor and Chloe

24. Greg and Marsha

25. Aiden and Jayden (or anything else that is yuppie or rhymes)

So there you have it. For those of you who are still inclined to guess, you can officially cross these off your list. Now there are only about 5000 more names to choose from. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Whatever I can convince Tessa to start calling them will be their names, no matter what's on their birth certificates. So I'm not worried about it.

...also, I noticed that you did NOT rule out Breech and Fundal! :)
