[Opinions] Re: Dante and his twin? (your lovely opinions needed!)
I really don't like Vergil ( is it vermin? not sure...) but it is interesting to see how they have paired it with Dante in a videogame. Vergil/ Virgil comes from Virgilius, who was an ancient Roman poet Dante liked. Dante let a fictitious version of Vergil guide him through hell and purgatory in The Divine Comedy. So they're not a bad pair, really.B/G:
Dante and Beatrice (she guided Dante through paradise in The Divine Comedy)
Dante and Gemma (his wife)
Dante and Florence ( D. was from F.)other Italian connection "names", boys and girls:
Dante and Venice
Dante and Verona
Dante and Roman
Dante and Siena
Dante and Remus (my favourite)Or, pair him up with another poet: Keats, Byron, (Percy) Bysshe Shelley.
I don't know, this is maybe getting overly cute.
I don't usually think twins should have themed names, but they can be ok if it is not too obvious, rhymey or silly.
