Twins are double the fun and double the trouble. Once mom realizes that she is sporting two under the hood, the challenges of naming her unborn children becomes much more difficult. Should she just choose two distinct names, or should she choose two names that fit well together or have a relationship to one another? If she decides to name the twins with names that fit together beautifully, then comes the question of how closely the names should resemble each other? For example, a friend of the family named her twin girls, Cindy and Mindy. Another couple named their twin boys, Bill and Will. Other parents may choose to match the names based on a shared first letter, such as Brian and Brad, or the #1 baby name combination for twins, Jacob and Joshua. The 11th most popular name pair for twins is the girls, Hailey and Hannah. Some parents like to choose names that have a historical relationship, like Elijah and Isaiah from the Bible (14th most popular). Other popular combinations for pseudo-Biblical names are the combination for girls, Faith and Hope, the 4th most popular; and Faith and Grace, which is the 34th most common baby name pair for twin girls. Other popular twin names from a Biblical origin include: Isaac and Isaiah, Jonathan and Joshua, Benjamin and Samuel, James and John, Christian and Christopher, Jacob and Matthew, Jacob and Joseph, John and Joseph, and Hannah and Sarah. The 29th most popular combination for twin names is Alexander and Zachary, an A-to-Z combination in baby names. Some names were used multiple times in the naming pairs, which indicated that those baby names are generally popular. For boys, the favorite names are: Jacob, John, Joshua, Matthew, Joseph, Benjamin, Alexander and Andrew. For girls, the favorite names are: Hannah, Madison, Jordan, Emma, Emily and Elizabeth. For fraternal twins, the most popular choices include (boys name first): Mason and Madison, Justin and Jordan, Ethan and Emma, Ethan and Emily, Matthew and Madison, Jacob and Jordan, Joshua and Jordan, and Landon and Logan.
