I'm not happy with
Xanthe's middle names, but today I'll stick with:
Xanthe Lyric EvangelineAdelaide Lucy Aviva nn
Addie
Normally I wouldn't put these two together because I don't like them for twins. But lately I'm loving
Adelaide too much to pass on it for a second girl, even if that second girl happenes to be
Xanthe's twin.
And, as part of the reason I don't like them for twins is that
Xanthe and
Addie rhyme, you are probably going to guess my answer to the second question! I don't like rhyming names like
Leda and
Freda at all, for siblings or twins. They are going to be compared to each other and confused with each other enough as it is, especially if they are identical. Ofcourse this isn't such a big deal for rhyming nicknames. As for a theme such as
RUby and
Scarlett- I don't mind this if your favourite two girls names happen to be
Ruby and
Scarlett and you'd name two girls this wether they were twins or not- you shouldn't have to give up one of your favourites. But to do it on purpose? Thats just cutesy and cheesy IMO.
Ok..I'm done.
