twin boys name opinions
My husband and I are adopting twin boys from Eastern Europe. Their names are Sasha and Artur. We have decided to keep their first names, but change Artur to Arthur. I need opinions on middle names, please.
Most of these are constellation/ star names.
Arthur Erasmus
Arthur Orian (o-RYE-on)
Arthur Eridanus (eh-RID-uh-nus)
Arthur Caelum (SEE-lum)
Sasha Eridanus
Sasha Achernar (ACK-er-nahr)
Sasha Orian
Sasha Leonardo
I love this combination as well, but it must be used together: Sasha Castor and Arthur Pollux. Castor and Pollux are "twin stars" and are named after twin brothers in Roman mythology.
Other suggestions are completely welcome. Thanks :)

I like:
Arthur Orian & Sasha Leonardo
I also like Sasha Castor and Arthur Pollux
I would personally change Sasha's name to Aleksander and use Sasha as a nickname. I think it will give him more flexibility as he grows.
Good luck.

Arthur Erasmus and Sasha Leonardo GMV, but I really like all of the combos except Arthur Caelum.
I love Castor and Pollux too, but I'm not sure if I prefer them to Erasmus and Leonardo or not. (Come to think of it, Erasmus and Leonardo are kind of theme-y too, as they were both Renaissance hotshots.) I think I'm one of very few people on BtN who sometimes enjoys themes, though. :P
Congratulations and great names! Lucky that their names were good to start with, too.

first off, CONGRATS!
I LOVE Sasha Castor and Arthur Pollux! That is really cool, and I've always liked the idea of using astrological and mythological names!
Good luck!

Thanks. I was worried Castor and Pollux wouldn't sound right.
