[Opinions] Re: How would you choose twin names?
in reply to a message by Ismene
I think I'd go to the hospital with a list of 2-6 beloved names and choose the ones that feel right. I don't care about birth order vs alphabetical order unless I chose names that start with the same letter; I love multiple B, G, I, and M names, and if I ended up with two same-letter names, it just feels natural to keep them in order.
The order in which they sound best wouldn't figure in my decision because, as a parent, I'd want to vary the order when calling them. It would aggravate me to be the twin whose name always comes second.

Hmm. I'll have to ask my sister if coming second ever bothered her.
In our case, my father used to call us girls all at once by saying "hi ho Felicia!"
(heidi, holly, felicia).
The order was always Heidi, Holly and Felicia, even though Fel is two years older than us. I never really thought about it.
