[Opinions] Re: Thomas & Tamsin
in reply to a message by LillieMae87
I don't think half siblings should have identical names. I don't even like identical names for twins - generally. They are both great names, though. Especially Tamsin. Its exotic and pretty.
Leo sounds better than Leon, but Leon sounds more... fancy? And I think it is less common, which adds more flare.
Jay is a great name regardless of why it's used, but it seems like a stretch to use it to honor someone whose name starts with Jay, especially if they are different genders. Jay, a boy, is named after a Josephine? It seems odd. People don't call their kids Em, Oh or Ess to honor relatives, do they? Why have people decided that only Kay or Jay can be standalone names? With that logic, Ell, Que and Aye should be used for sentimental value as well.
