The Twin Name Safe Zone
#1

Hannah
&
Anna.
Doesn't that seem a little too close?
Anyways, that got me started on a topic. What twin names are in the safe zone?
On a website I saw one of the most popular twin paired names are Emmaline & Emily.
So what twin names are in the safe zone & what are not? hahah.

Hmmm, I think Hannah and Anna are a little too close for twins, and maybe Emmaline and Emily too.
I like Scarlett and Sabina for twin girls, Henry and Ethan for twin boys and Henry and Hope for a boy and a girl.

Not sure what you mean by "Safe Zone"...Do you mean not too similar? And therefore okay to use for twins?? or Do you mean "safe" as in kinda boring and not adventurous?
Safe zone, as in they are not to close together. hahha

Phillip & William
Monica & Vanessa
Leonard & Lucas
Ava Charlotte & Owen Christopher
My friend is probably naming her girls Stella and Scarlett. I like both names, but I think they sound too similar together. Also, my sister's friend is Gabriella, and her brother is Gabriel (but they're not twins).

Lol, I end my rant here!
but my favorite twins names.... <3
Emma and Kate
Genevieve and Isabel
Saoirse and Roisin
Kate and Liam
Kate and Eli
Kate and Chase
Genevieve and William
Maeve and Eli
Liam and Chase
William and Eli (which is still iffy to me, being the nick name Liam would have the same long E sound as Eli)
Chase and Eli
Jayson and Eli
River and Forrest ( a GP though )
Yeahhh, I could go on forever matching my names up. Cause I honestly chose names I love out to match in style, sound, etc. I make no differences between names I'd use for twins as I would siblings, I just pair up my favorite girls names with each other or whatever. (as long as they don't sound too similar and all I adore Scarlett and Charlotte... but NOT as siblings, nor twins!!!). So yeah, I set no different standard for twins
The safe zone for twins... would be the same for as siblings. I personally take it a bit farther than a lot of people, I wouldn't name my kids Bailey and Leah, Katherine and Katelyn/Kaylin, Teagan and Reagan, etc. Just because they sound too similar to me, personally. Or the nick name opportuities are the same for both Katherine and Katelyn/Kaylin in my mind. Cause I wouldn't mix up those two names together. But yeahh.
I suppose it's mostly personal opinion. But if I had two screaming toddlers running around the house, it'd give me a headache to try and remember their names if they rhymed! Ahhh what a nightmare! <3 (though also keep in mind while saying this, I don't want to have twins. If I ever happen to, I know it'll be a blessing and I love them so much! And I'd definitely have fun dressing them in opposites, such as one wearing a black peacoat with red leggins and the other wearing a red peacoat with black leggins <3. But, I will be just as happy to have a single child. And probably less stressed out with trying to raise two itty bitty ones at the exact same time )

Wowww. Hannah AND Anna?? REALLY??!!
I feel sorry for those girls!!
I know twins named:
Cara and Maddison
Poppy and Ruby
Chloe and Paige
Tori and Rhys
Maddison and Jake
Their all pretty 'safe' I think..
Its fine to use the same initials.. eg. Sophia and Scarlett... but to use names that rhyme or are VERY similar... eg.. Emily and Emmeline.. in my opinion it looks like, you loved the name Emmeline.. couldn't be bothered searching for another name and so just shortened it and had to 'EMS'... :/
It bothers me because the names are so similar it will become confusing for the kids and all.. imagine if they named a son Emerson Im starting to babble now but yeahh. Goshie!!

Ellen and Melissa
Eric and Marc (kinda matchy?)

Not only are them completely identical, they're called Jemma and Jumma (I think that's how they're spelt).
Bit close if you ask me...

And woahhh Ash! That's a terrible though! Emmeline, Emily, and Emerson! Ahh!
But I have met very few pairs of twins... Idk, there are very few around where I live, at least. I thought they were less popular than the amount that all of you know!
But I met one girl who was a twin, Tara. And she had a twin named Heather, though I didn't meet her. I saw her, but didn't meet her lol. Tara and Heather is pretty though
And I met two little girls, fraternal twins. Lindsay and Hannah. They were cuties hehe! <3
So yeah, I don't know many twins at all... but yeah. Both of them are not matchy or anything, stylistically seem to fit though!

Favorite twin names:
Veronica & Penelope
Bridget & Fiona
Cassandra & Guinevere
Fiona & Garrett
Penelope & Benjamin
Sylvia & Arthur
Cordelia & Tobias
Simon & Dexter
Benjamin & Matthias
Quentin & Garrett
I also find I'm drawn to names with a connection like how Simon and Dexter are slightly geek, Fiona and Garrett are Irish, and Veronica and Penelope, well, both just make me think of strong women.

Wow! Hannah and Anna are wayyy too close in my opinion! They sound sooo close, I wouldn't use them for siblings let alone for twins. Same goes for Emmeline and Emily. When I hear stories like those, I can't help but wonder what their parents were thinking when they named their kids! It's ridiculous! LOL
I know several pairs of twins (I guess families with twins are common where I live haha) and I think that for the most part their names are in the safe zone:
Amy and Rosemary (Rose)
Nicholas (Nicky) and Lainey
Sarah and Rebekah
Grace and Tabitha
Matthew and Christopher
Rebekah and Alison (Ali)
Benjamin (Ben) and Will
Mark and Marissa
Bassim and Safi (kind of different, but I think it would from their culture)
So yeahh, those are just the twins that I know, lol. These are twin names that I would use if I had twins:
Emma and Sophie
Grace and Abigail
Sarah and Rebekah
Katherine nn Kate and Josephine nn Josie
Molly and Lauren
Luke and Evan
Matthew and Joseph
James and Alexander
Ryan and Samuel
Peter and Henry
David and Benjamin
Luke and Emma
Riley and Lauren
Ryan and Sophie
James and Rebekah
Benjamin and Anna
I think that the same initials thing is safe, yet I don't know if I would use the same initials if I had twins. I don't think I would, because I agree with Remy Hadley that they do need to have their own identity.
Also, I think that virtue names together fall into the unsafe zone. While I adore names like Grace and Faith, I would never use them together, especially on twins! The same thing goes for flower names. I love the names Rose and Violet, but I don't think I could use them together on twins or siblings because the theme thing is just too close for me personally.
Oh my goodness! That would be awful if they had another child and named him Emerson, and what about another named Emmett and another named Emma! Hahaha that's just too much in my opinion. =)
