Re: twins names
in reply to a message by JuliaB
Here are some twin sets in my family:
Rahel (rah-khel) nn Rahelita & Moshe David nn Maurice (born 1919)
Tauba (Toiba for link) and Kaile (http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=190928&board=gen) (born 1882)
Noach Salim nn Noah & Luca Zechariah nn Luca Zachary (born 2002)
Brucha (http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=5568) & Sarah Tsina (http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=26253) (born 1839)
Rahel nn Rachel & Lea nn Lili (born 1928)
David Shloime (Yiddish form of Shlomo) nn David & Yonatan nn Jonathan (born 1975)
I don't think it's good to give names that are too close (Antonia and Antoine), too themy (Rose and Violet) or too different (Gertrud and Madisin). Rhett & Scarlett or Juliet & Romeo are just creepy, and well known siblings or friends (like the two last in my list) are a bit problematic because I think it pre establishes the relationship between the kids.
