Finding the perfect name for your baby can be an arduous process. Do you go for something simple and elegant? Something unique and creative? Something that's representative of your heritage? Parents of twins have double the struggle: They have to find two perfect names.

Twin name themes
Finding a name theme you like can help you narrow down your baby name choice. When naming twin boys, consider alliterative pairs (names that start with the same letter), such as Luke and Landon. You could also pick names with the same number of syllables, such as Jax and Jude or Cody and Caden. Other cool themes include picking two destination names (such as Austin and Brooklyn) or names with similar origins (Aidan and Kieran).
One word of caution: Avoid getting too cutesy with twin boy names. Easton and Weston might be better puppy names — especially 10 years down the line.
