Help[Opinions] Twin Crazy
twin crazy adjective
- when a person who is expecting twins is obsessed with twins and feels the need to match anything that has to do with twins, including names.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
We have all seen them, the names for twins that make us cringe or want to cry. Well, now it's your turn. You are twin crazy. Make a list of matching names for twins that you think are bad but not as bad as others. Basically a list of the best of the worst but don't be subtle. Twin crazy people are not subtle.
I'll post my list in a separate post.

I love Raven and Nevermore, that is grrreat.

Raven and Nevermore....
here's a confession, my dark secret (name-wise): I do have a soft spot for the combo Corvina Lenore... more of a GP, though, but still... *blush*

Corvina Lenore is awesome! I'm a bit jealous that I didn't think of it first.
Actually, if we're dealing with confessions, I already have a sibset using Raven and Nevermore picked out. Alice Victoria Raven and Blanche Odelia Nevermore. Kind of lame how they're stuck in the second middle name position though.

Awww, thanks! :-)
Confession, part II: I once came up with the sibset/boy-girl twin names Corvina Lenore and Edgar Thaddeus or Thaddeus Edgar (Thaddeus is supposed to mean "heart", as in "The Tell-Tale Heart")...
And YAY! Finally someone else who likes Odelia!
Actually, I rather like Alice Victoria Raven and Blanche Odelia Nevermore. Wow, the first time I like Blanche :-)

Corvina Lenore and Edgar Thaddeus are a great sibset! Sometimes it makes me a little sad seeing all of these great sibsets that will probably never be used in real life. They should be used in a novel at least.
Thank you! Odelia is definitely a name you don't see enough of. I'm glad I was able to inspire some like of Blanche in you! It's really not a bad name. I suppose you could say that I think of it as an interesting filler name, like Mary or Anne (when in the first name position). Like you wouldn't think much of it alone, but when you see it next to other, more interesting names it comes alive.

LOL! :D
Ok, now I really feel like looking for more brand names that could "work" on twins ;-)
How about Hennes and Mauritz (H&M)?

These names are actually good on their own, but using BOTH as fn.s in the same set of twins would be a bit much for me. In some cases, having 1 as a fn and 1 as a mn would be ok.
This is WAY too easy in Jpns.

I'm really useless at stuff like this but let me try:
Thelma and Louise
Elizabeth and Isabella / Isabel / Isobel / whatever spelling
James and Jacob
James and Dean
Marilyn and Norma
Mae and June (oh, we could have triplets: April, May, June)
Orpheus and Eurydice (they could have a sister named Lyra)
Annemarie and Marianne
Autumn and Winter
Something like that?
And a silly one before I'm off to work:
Guy and Boy
Thelma and Louise
Elizabeth and Isabella / Isabel / Isobel / whatever spelling
James and Jacob
James and Dean
Marilyn and Norma

*giggles* Thelma and Louise tickles me. :)
The Orpheus, Eurydice, and Lyra sibset is adorable! Okay, I know it's too much, everyone would call Orpheus Morpheus, no one would be able to pronounce Eurydice except English and History teachers, but COME ON!!!!
Ooh! I know! Sibset:
DD: Lyra
DS/DD: Orpheus / Eurydice
DD: Persephone
DS: Pluto (went with Roman version of Hades, because it sounded better)
Ha-Ha! Sorry, I think I got a little carried away...

I read a book in English class this year (The Secret Life of Bees), in which there were three sisters named May, June, and August. May had originally had a twin sister named April who died years before when the book took place. They said it was because their mother loved the spring and summer so much she decided to name her daughters after months in them. Just thought I'd include that little piece of information. :)
Of course, it's not real life though, in which case it would be very unpleasant.

I must admit I'm never too sure if I really think pairings like that are really thaaaat bad... Not necessarily James and Jacob as they are too close sound-wise IMO, but Isobel and Elisabeth? Hmmm, not sure.
Personally, I'd try to avoid different variations of the one and the same name in a sibset but... you know...
I'm confused ;-)
