Re: Names for our Twins
Your combos are very sensible and thought-out. Charlotte and Nora is a gorgeous sibset. How fortunate that they are both honoring.However, I think it's perfectly fair to everyone if you wanted to just use one honoring name per combo, paired with a name you really love. I really, really love William Haley and Elijah Bishop "Will and Eli." Both of them are great combos, especially with honoring, and I'd love to meet those brothers, and I really, really hope you use them. I also really like Jacob a lot, but I think the repetitive A sounds in Jacob Haley are a little much, and I don't like it as much as William.Owen, Zachary, Lucas, and Jonathan are all okay names, but rather dull. They don't have Elijah "Eli"'s smooth intelligence or William's long and dignified history. (I was just thinking about how wonderfully timeless William is the other day. Was it used before William the Conquerer? That's 1000 years anyway. *sigh*)I would go with Charlotte Haley and William Bishop, because I think William goes better with Charlotte than your other names (that is to say, Elijah) do (does). However, I am going to propose something slightly revolutionary: What about Charlotte Alice and William Haley? Allison sounds awkward with Nora, and Nora Alice is a bit too clipped. (Have you considered Eleanor "Nora" Alice? I love that.) But I think Charlotte Alice sounds great, and that William Haley is /incredibly/ handsome.Anyway I'm excited about this particular pair of twins :P The names look promising.
