Most twin parents want names for their twins that will sound good together. Whether you choose twin names to honor family members, because they rhyme, or because they don’t — choosing names for twins can be tricky. If you’re like me, you probably checked out (or are in the process of checking out) all sorts of resources before deciding on names for your twins. To make it easy for you, we’ve compiled our own list of techniques to choose twins names: How to choose your twin baby names, gives you all the inside scoop for selecting twin baby names.

Plus, every year, the US Social Security Administration publishes lists of popular names, and fortunately for us, they also publish a list of most popular twins names. The formatting is not fancy, but hey — I’m a working girl and it’s the quick and dirty version.
