Help[Opinions] Re: If you had a twin...
in reply to a message by Billina
For a twin who was male he would have been either Brendan or Brandon, both of which I really like. For a mn they either would have used Dean, Moody, Robert, John, or Tatum.
For a female twin probably Nicole Louise or Gabriella Louise. My younger sister is named Nicole Louise but they almost named her Gabriella Louise. So if my twin was Nicole Louise and they decided to have more children, so I'd still have a younger sister, maybe they would have used Gabriella. I really don't know what they would have used as a mn, but unused female family names would have been Marian, Monica, Jean, Angle, Elizabeth, Ella, Maude, and Maria.
They never would have used Ella as a mn with Gabriella as the first but they could have used it as a nn for Gabriella since they hated the nn Gabby. That is actually why they didn't use Gabriella because they were worried that if they had a daughter named Gabriella she'd get called Gabby, but I feel that Ella, Ellie, and Elle all work just as well as nn's. Oddly one of our younger cousins ended up getting named Gabrielle nn Gabi, so I've always wondered if my aunt and uncle would have chosen a different name if my sister had been named Gabriella, I feel that they would have but you never know.

Something else interesting is that my parents didn't think of the fact that Gabriella could easily have other nn's than Gabby. I only recently thought of that and far before I thought of it my sister has loved the nn's Ellie and Elle. That is part of why she really wants to have a daughter named Elliott someday because she wants to call her Elle and Ellie. I just think it's odd because she almost was Gabriella nn Ella, Ellie, and Elle. Knowing me I would have called her by all of those nn's and more. I probably would have called her Elegant, Elegance, Elephant, Elf, Elfy, etc... Now that I think about it her nn my parents and my uncle John called her when she was really young was Elfen Magic or maybe Elven Magic but I swear it was Elfen Magic. She had this nn because she had big ears that looked kind of elf shaped when you looked at her straight on but not in profile. Her ears don't look that way anymore because she grew into them but my uncle Fred still has ears that look elven when you look at him from the front.
