HelpRe: Found out our twins are boys
in reply to a message by pickles
Oh what happened to Jacob? :(
Well, I must say that I loved William and Jacob, but I like pretty much all of your names, although I would prefer Jack to Jackson and John nn Jack to Jack as a full name. But then again, I allow myself to say Rudolph honors Robert, Laurentius honors Larry, and Maria honors every form of Mary. So John "Jack" would easily honor Jackson to me. But most people don't stretch honoring that far.
How do you feel about Luke as a full name? I like it so much more, it's so handsome and simple and stately and calm. Lucas is angrier and more similar to an ant to me.
I like the way Haley ends openly and Bishop ends closedly, and I would pair them with opposite names: Bishop with the open-ended Elijah or Josiah, and Haley with Nathaniel, Jackson, or Lucas. They're all pretty good combos.
My personal favorite sibset out of these is Elijah Bishop and Lucas Haley. But you can't go very wrong. Unless you picked Jackson and Nathaniel, which both leave me slightly cold.

We still love Jacob, but we had to eliminate some names or I don't think we would ever be able to make a decision. But we change our mind about every two weeks, so who knows Jacob might make it's way back. And we just didn't like William with our last name, although we love the name.
And I really like John (nn Jack), but I have a cousin named John, and I had dated a guy named John, so I think that might be a little weird for my husband if we used John. I like Jackson as the full name because I think the extra syllable makes it sound nicer with our last name, since both have the "ck" sound. Plus it does have the special meaning for us. Same goes for Luke. I love Luke on it's own, but with our last name I think the extra syllable in Lucas makes it flow better.
