9 Perfectly Matched Twin Names That Are Irresistibly Cute!

Picking the perfect name for one baby is already hard enough, so when you learn you're expecting twins, the idea of finding two names can feel really daunting. With so many factors to consider, from matching initials to complementary sounds or names with shared meanings, it can quickly become overwhelming.

But have no fear! Whether you're expecting twin girls, twin boys, or a boy and a girl, here are some meaningful and fun twin names to consider as you prepare for your new duo.

Scroll to see our favorite twin names for your dynamic duo in 2025!

1. Rose & Lily

Anastasia Shuraeva

Rose and Lily make a balanced and feminine pairing for twin girls since both names are rooted in floral symbolism. Derived from Latin, Rose is associated with love, beauty, and, of course, the famous red flower. Other variations of the name include Rosie and Rosalie.

Meanwhile, Lily, which is also Latin in origin, symbolizes purity and innocence and has a soft and graceful sound. It's versatile, too, and allows for alternative spellings, such as Lillie.

2. Harper & Hazel

Monika Balciuniene

If you'd like to stick with the same first initial for your little girls, Harper and Hazel are an adorable option that blends music with nature.

Harper is a gender-neutral name of English origin that means "harpist" or "minstrel," making it a popular choice among parents who love music. Hazel, on the other hand, has a warm, earthy feel and an Old English meaning of "the hazel tree." Together, they offer a nice mix of creativity and the environment.

3. Hannah & Sarah

Katrin Bolovtsova

Hannah and Sarah are another pairing for twin girls. These names share Hebrew roots and complement each other's sounds with a nice ring when said aloud.

Hannah means "favor" or "grace," and in the Hebrew Bible, Hannah's story of faith and prayer adds a layer of depth to the name. Sarah, which means "princess," is also a timeless name with biblical associations. As the wife of Abraham, Sarah is known as the matriarch of the Hebrew people and symbolizes strength and leadership.

4. Andrew & Matthew

Moving onto twin boys, two names that flow off the tongue together and carry historical significance are Andrew and Matthew.

Andrew, which is Greek in origin, means "strong" or "manly" and is associated with qualities like bravery, courage, and honor. As the name of one of Jesus' first apostles, Andrew carries a sense of devotion and can be a good fit for parents who appreciate these values.

Matthew has Hebrew roots and means "gift of God." It's linked to the author of the Gospel of Matthew and one of the Twelve Apostles, symbolizing faith, wisdom, and generosity. Together, Andrew and Matthew are a charming combo that reflects purpose.

5. Garrett & Graham

Стас Ксензов

If you want your twin boys to share the same first initial, you can't go wrong with Garret and Graham. The former, which is derived from Gerard and Gerald, has German roots and means "spear" and "brave." It's also held by many notable athletes.

As for Graham, this name is British and Scottish in origin and has a sophisticated sound. It was originally a surname from the English town of Grantham and meant "gravel area" or "gray homestead." It sounds strong and elegant, especially alongside Garrett.

6. Archie & Elliot

Becerra Govea Photo

This next duo for twin boys is distinct and has a modern appeal. Archie, originally a nickname for the more formal Archibald, has become a stylish name that stands on its own. It has roots in Old High German and means "genuinely bold" and "brave."

At the same time, Elliot actually means "the Lord is my God," has Hebrew origins, and is gender-neutral. It's a variation of the biblical name Elijah and is associated with faith and devotion. Together, Archie and Elliot blend boldness with grace and tradition.

7. Mason & Megan

If you're lucky enough to be welcoming a son and daughter into the world at the very same time, names with matching initials, like Mason and Megan, make sweet choices.

Mason is gender-neutral, has British roots, and means "stone worker," signifying strength, durability, and craftsmanship. It's a wonderful choice for parents who want their son to be resilient and ambitious.

Megan is a graceful Welsh name that's a variation of Margaret and means "pearl." It calls to mind purity, beauty, and sophistication. There are other spelling options as well, such as Meagan or Meghan.

8. Zachary & Zoe

Zachary and Zoe are a complementary duo that's steeped in history. Zachary, derived from the Greek Zacharias and the Hebrew Zechariah, means "the Lord recalled" and has strong biblical ties. Plus, it provides plenty of popular nickname possibilities, like Zach or Zack.

For your baby girl, Zoe is a lively and modern name with Greek roots that means "life." Originally a translation of the Hebrew name Eve, it has spiritual significance and still sounds trendy.

9. Logan & Taylor

Finally, if you're interested in both baby names being gender-neutral, you shouldn't overlook Logan and Taylor.

Logan comes from the Gaelic word "lag," which means "hollow," but don't let its etymology deter you. It's a strong-sounding name with a lot of pop culture significance, as it's held by actors like Logan Lerman and is the title of the movie Logan, starring Hugh Jackman.

Meanwhile, Taylor is French and originated as an occupational title for a tailor. Its connection to craftsmanship adds a touch of artistry and refinement. Taylor Swift's unmatched fame, especially in recent years, has also caused this name to make a notable comeback.

Ellen Pompeo Cried "Full On Tears" During This 'Grey's Anatomy' Sex Scene: "Nightmare"

There are plenty of crazy moments through Grey's Anatomy history. Izzy cutting Denny's LVAD wire in season 2, Meredith learning Derek and Addison were married at the very end of season 1, and of course, the overall decision to kill Derek by having him "stop perpendicular on a curved road to reach for his phone," according to one BuzzFeed comment that made me laugh. But there's one insane moment that actress Ellen Pompeo still hasn't watched: Meredith and George (TR Knight) sleeping together in season 2.

Here's why Ellen Pompeo said Meredith Grey and George O'Malley's love scene in Grey's Anatomy season 2 was a "nightmare."

Ellen Pompeo cried "real tears" during her sex scene with TR Knight.

The scene comes in season 2 episode 18 "Yesterday" and 19 "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" (or rather, in between them), when George and Meredith decide to sleep together...then Meredith changes her mind and George gets all offended.

“TR and I are such good friends," Ellen Pompeo tells Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper. "We had to do a love scene and we were both crying." After revealing “the scene was so uncomfortable and awkward" because neither of them wanted to film it, they had to reshoot the scene because "the network said there was too much thrusting." Yep, you read that right.

“In your worst nightmare to have to do it one time, we had to reshoot that sh—t. We had to reshoot it and do it twice," Ellen continues, revealing that she's "never seen it."

"I'm full on in tears, the whole entire scene,” she says. “Those are real tears.”

Every Call Her Daddy episode causes major buzz in our Brit + Co group chat, and this one was no exception.

"[George] knew she was vulnerable about her situation with Derek and not interested but when she told him she wanted to, he didn’t stop it because HE knew he had feelings for her," B+C's Melanie Cornejo said. "Very weird thing to do to your best friend."

"He’s definitely irritating in a lot of ways," editor Haley Sprankle adds. She adds that writing the love scene into the show "was definitely a weird choice especially because George is so good!!!!"

Other Grey's Anatomy viewers agree the scene aged horribly, especially considering "George even admitted it himself later in the series, Meredith was drunk and sad and he wanted his fantasy of her to come true...He kinda took advantage. I really dislike how everyone acted, as if Meredith had assaulted him," according to one YouTube user in the comments of the scene.

"I get that it wasn't a good idea for her to sleep with George, since she knew he had a giant puppy crush on her and she didn't have those emotions yet, but seriously, making a woman feel like sh—t because she changed her mind about sex? The whole thing always makes me feel so gross to watch." starsstripessparkles adds on Reddit. And yeah, I have to agree.
