Twins Babies

The first thing that probably comes into your mind about your twins babies is "Why me?"

After coming down off the ceiling, you decide that you must look at the practical aspects of how your life is about to change.  It had probably not come as a total surprise if you had put on considerable extra weight or were getting excessively tired. 

It really is amazing how many different thoughts pass through your mind in the first few weeks.  The first concern, obviously, is their health, are they conjoined or two separate bodies, are there two heartbeats, am I producing enough nourishment to sustain two new twin babies inside me.?

Choosing twin babies names 

The temptation here is to go for similar names, perhaps Samuel and Samantha but imagine the problems when you call "Sam come here"....
The top 10 twin babies names in the USA in 2006 began with the same initial (the top is Jacob and Joshua). Personally I believe that this is a mistake. I think it causes confusion when the mail arrives or on the school register.
Names should be of the same complexity. Tom and Zackariah just don't seem to go together.
Gimmicky and unusual names seem popular with celebrities. You can try Tom and Jerry, Tweedledum and Tweedledee or other similar ideas. They are fun when the twins are young but remember that they have to live withe these names for the rest of their lives.
Give them sensible normal names as there are enough challenges in bringing up twins babies without that.

The Twins Survival Guide is a brilliant book with lots of practical advice on how to cope with twin babies.
