[Opinions] Re: Twin names???
in reply to a message by Cherish
I've ignored accent marks in this whole post because I'm on an old computer, but I'd use accent marks where they're supposed to be.
I don't know about personally, but I have written plenty of twins in my stories over the years. I like them or I wouldn't have used them. They're from various times and places.
B/B: Lachlan & Blair (These were originally twins, but I later switched them to a year apart.)
G/B: Sian & Fionan
B/B: Shalev & Judah
B/B: Miles & Murray
G/G: Helena & Eva
B/B: Lucan & Evandrus (These are weird, but have significance in the story.)
B/B: Salem & Hadley (Might make these non-twins too. Can't decide. They're fairly new.)
There are more, but I can't remember them.
And I'm planning future twins named Florence & Atlas where I mess up everyone's minds with Florence being the boy and Atlas being the girl and everyone hates me for confusing them. Figure it's better to do that in a book than in real life.
In real life, I might would use:
B/B: Darcy Alexander & Finley Marlowe
G/G: Georgiana Eponine & Estella Juliet (I'm well aware that Eponine is a passing fancy for me and I wouldn't use it if it came down to it, but this is just me having fun.)
B/G: Hadley Enjolras & Frances Juliette (I wouldn't use Enjolras either...most likely, but I'm rereading Les Mis right now and these names are all so lovely.)
