Popular Names for Twins (2007)

4 comments  |  May 12, 2008  |  Filed under: General names  |  Written by: Luke

The SSA, along with the most popular baby names of 2007 (in the US, that is), has released a list of the top twin name pairings.  This list is useful for those expecting twins, and trying to find a pair of names that suit one another.

  1. Jacob, Joshua
  2. Matthew, Michael
  3. Daniel, David
  4. Isaac, Isaiah
  5. Ella, Emma
  6. Madison, Morgan
  7. Taylor, Tyler
  8. Landon, Logan
  9. Brandon, Bryan
  10. Christian, Christopher

As you will have noticed, alliteration is the main theme, with every pairing in the top ten utilising the same first letter.

I think it’s awful to give twins very similar names as they are two individual people and should have their own identity. It should also be a crime to dress them the same and make them look like a freak show!

I have 2 sets of twins and I named my twin boys Dallas and Phoenix, and my twin girls Lily and Daisy!
There is nothing wrong with having a theme!

I can’t agree more, Estelle. As an adult identical twin I know how important it is to treat each twin as the individuals they are. Society is too keen to label twins (particularly identical twins) as a cute little unit. It’s unfair.
