Re: Softer more feminine names for twin boys
in reply to a message by Breann
Congratulations!
I love to see masculine names hold the line against encroachment by parents of little girls. :-) Just please don't make the names too twinny / matchy. It will be difficult enough for boys to have names that are going to the feminine side. Making them even "cuter" by rhyming them is really not fair. Subtle themes are fine. It's the obvious ones I can't take.
Aubrey, Sean / Shane, Rowan, Avery, Francis, Remy ("RAY-mee"), Adrian, Loren, Laurie (as a nn for Laurence), Jordon, Morgan, Ashley, Cary, Aidan, Dorian, Jules, Jesse, Asa, Greer, Adair, Rory, Sidney, Alexis, Carsten, Emeric, Gervase, Germain, Kitt (as a nn for Christopher), Jude, Terry (as a nn for Terence), Robin (as a nn for Robert), Jonty (as a nn for Jonathan), Shannon, Jamie (as a nn for James).
Good luck and please be sure to let us know how your search progresses. Also, birth announcements are always welcome. :-)
