[Opinions] Re: twin girls

I don't think Allie or Rylie will age well at all. Allie seems perpetually young to me, and Rylie screams bratty toddler who was born in the 2000s.
I have less of an issue with Riley or Reilly however, which seem to age slightly better to me. I love the nn Allie but to me it has to be short for something even if the only reason is that a name like Alexandra, Alexis, Alessandra, Allison, or Alana will serve them much better in adulthood. Think about a business executive called Allie, a doctor called Allie, a lawyer or judge called Allie or a president called Allie. It just doesn't seem right.
