Hm. Do well, and maybe you'll win. ;) I can't promise you any prizes (currently, my best paint program is MSPaint, alas), but you will have fame and honour. And when I say "you can think of," I mean it that way. Don't cheat and go looking for something to fit the bill. I want exactly what you come up with.
LN: A streetname you've seen and remembered
DH: FN: Bizarre saint name MN: Name of an Apostle
DW: FN: Name of the saint's feast day on your birthday MN: Same thing, but on your mother's birthday
DD: FN: Common flower name MN: Latin name for said flower (pick just the species, not genus and species)
DS: FN: A US state that hasn't yet had its name used popularly (no Dakotas) MN: A US capitol from a state who has
DD/DD: FN: A name ending in -tina MN: A filler middle name (for the second twin, use a filler middle name as the FN and a -tina name as the MN)
DS: FN: The longest boy name you can think of off the top of your head (no cheating and looking for one!) MN: A colour name that's not popular as a name (no Greys, in other words)
DD: FN: The most masculine name you can think of, with a vaguely feminine sounding nickname MN: The foofiest, most over-the-top feminine name you can think of
DD/DS: For the girl: FN: A traditional virtue name MN: A name that you think is too dated for use For the boy: FN: A name that sounds like an old man to you MN: A name that ends in -us
DFish: You have five to name. Give them the most inventive names you can--pick odd, fun names that you wouldn't normally give a fish if it was yours.
Hope this isn't too complicated! Have fun.

ETA: Because common flower names (
Lily,
Rose, etc.) are just common names for a bunch of different kinds of flower, pick a species of said flower and find its Latin species name. So I did
Violet, and the sweet violet's species is "odorata". And so my first daughter became
Violet Odorata (poor thing)). Go to Wikipedia (
http://www.wikipedia.org) and look up the flower of your choice if you need help finding the information.
