Help[Opinions] Re: Twins?
in reply to a message by JessicaLeigh
I almost don't know where to start with these two, they're such mouthfuls! I've been a little harsh because they're so nms.
Haleigh - I hate the spelling, even Hayleigh would be better. I understand why you're using the 'leigh' ending but it looks awfully kre8ibh to me. And not entirely necessary, since -leigh, -lee and -ley are all different spellings of the same element.
Haleigh-Grace - a big long name which will get mercilessly shortened by everyone around her. What is she actually going to be called? If it'll be constantly shortened to just Haleigh or something, is there any point having a hyphenated name?
Grace - this itself is nice. Hayley Grace I would have no objection to whatsoever.
Landley - ugly on a girl, nothing feminine about it at all.
Kelsie - I don't mind this spelling too much although it's a "Barbie Doll" name (aka a "please-stay-a-baby" name).
Royce - bad on a girl, it has such an ugly sound and no-one wants to be nicknamed "Rolls Royce" particularly if they're a bit on the plump side.
Royce-Lynn - Another mouthfull, and an incongruous one at that. The names sit badly together and it's hard to get the emphasis right.
How I'd fix them:
The names are nms in their current form, but I won't attempt to pursuade you further over that. What I *would* do is: remove the hyphens. Instead of having one twin with a mouthful of a hyphened first name and one with a mouthfull of a hyphened middle name, have two twins with roughly equal first names and two middle names each:
Haleigh Grace Landley
Kelsie Royce Lynn
I would go one step further and give them the same pattern of cutesy-classic-male:
Haleigh Grace Landley
Kelsie Lynn Royce
That's my 2c!
