HelpRe: So... twins today?
in reply to a message by Tuesday
L. told me he wanted to give our kids Greek or Roman names so I'm running with it. I've gone for a constellation theme. There is a healthy smattering of honouring too. I'm pretty proud of myself.
DS / DS: Theodore Castor/ Hector Pollux
or Theodore Octavian and Hector Claudius
Either way it is Theo and Hector
DD / DD: Alcyone Octavia/ Nephele Cassiopeia
or Alcyone Augusta/ Nephele Astraea
Alcie and Effie
DS / DD: Theodore Claudius/ Alcyone Octavia
Edited to add, they should totally be Theodore Apollo and Alcyone Artemis shouldn't they!

I love Theodore Octavian and Nephele Cassiopeia. I love the constellation theme you've got going on there!

Ooooh, great names
I love Theodore Octavian "Theo" and I would totally use Theo myself, but can't with future DD Xanthe. And Alcyone Octavia "Alcie" is gorgeous, as is the name Nephele- another favourite. I think my fav of the Nephele combos is Nephele Astraea.
I gota say that Theodore Claudius and Alcyone Octavia "Theo and Alcie" is one of the best boy/girl twin sets I have seen ever.

Wow, thank you! That is really sweet of you. I'm experimenting a bit and it is heartening to get such a good repsonse. :)

Hey, I have to say thanks to you too
I'd never heard of Alcyone before, and it just jumped straight onto my list as my #3 girl's name. Really love it, and its hard for me to find names like that. I've really been struggling with girls names that I love besides Xanthe and Elodie, so thankyou!
And I was being honest- I really do think they are fantastic names! So your welcome.

And I have to say you're welcome too!
I appreciate the honesty and the thanks. I'm glad you like Alcyone it is so beautiful and has a nice story behind it too. I especially adore it for the nn Alcie which I think honours my sister Alice. It does have a similar feel to Xanthe and Elodie, now that I think about it. :)

Nice mythical feel.

Heh, Alcie is another anagram of Alice ;)
How are you saying Alcyone? The database says al-SIE-uh-nee, but that doesn't seem to fit with nn Alcie. I reserve judgement on the combos until I find out :p
I really like Nephele Cassiopeia, it sounds great! Theodore Octavian and Hector Claudius sound good together too.
