Names should sound good together

Once you have shortlisted a few names, check how they sound together by speaking and listening to it again and again. If it sounds good, all is well. But if your stumble, then you must consider a few other names. This is because you will be calling the kids’ names together quite a lot. Therefore, they should be rhythmically easy to pronounce.

Try anagrams

Anagram names are a creative way of using the same letters and exploring different names by mixing the letters. For example, Ayan and Anay. It is a fun yet intelligent way of naming twins which is becoming popular. In case you want your babies to have letters from your and your partner’s name’s, then it may also be a great idea. Like, for instance, if your name is Shamita and your partner is Miraj then your twin daughters can be named Shamira and Misha.
