Yes it is...

I have to say, I like the names that do not go together... the ones that do sound too sing-songy for me. When I was in the hospital with my twins, the nurses said they were all grateful to see twins that were not named similarly. Apparently they had seen a lot of twins birthed at that hospital where some names actually either rhymed, or one child was named a favorite name of the couple, and then the other twin sounded as if they picked whatever, as long as it was similar... an afterthought, really.

What are your twins' names, if you don't mind sharing? :-)

I have been asked this before an am reluctant to share considering leaving their names open for ridicule, which I do not want. Maybe if I tell you the reason, maybe there will be less ridicule... maybe not.
My daughter is Kamrynn Marie. Cameron is my grandfather's middle name, as well as my favorite cousin in the world. But even while growing up, it sounded too soft to me to be masculine and have ALWAYS thought it sounded like a girl. So I decided to go against the grain and pick it based off what I felt was appropriate. I changed it from a C to a K because I thought that was more feminine (to get it away from the masculine as much as I could). And, I always thought the spelling looked wrong... like there is no reason for the e in it. Made no sense to me. So in trying to figure that out, was thinking how I could also honor my 29 year old cousin that was killed 3 years ago. After a while, I realized that having her name as a part of my child's name was way too tender... and ever time I said my little girl's name, it would actually be very sad to me instead of happy. So decided against it, but realized that one time, I told her before she died that her daughter Rynn, sounded so much like the ending of Cameron. Then it came to me... put Rynn in Cameron, and that way I will have honored someone she loves, but am able to keep it not so sad. So that is how Kamrynn was born. Marie is my grandma's middle name (the twins were born on her birthday)... and I am so glad I did it, considering she passed away 1 week ago.
My son is Bridger Ace. Had a 3rd cousin name their child Bridger, and always thought it was odd until I heard the song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by the Judd's.

I ditto what Tippins said. It's true that at first glance they would seem very trendy to me, but your explanations are so wonderful and meaningful. I think you did a marvelous job naming your children, and I actually really like Bridger Ace. I think you should be proud that you chose names that had real significance to you, rather than just coming up with something because it sounds 'cute'. Well done :-)

I can definitely understand why you are reluctant to share because of ridicule. Probably a lot of people including me would turn up their noses at these names before hearing your explanations. After hearing why you chose their names I feel that you did a great job and gave them names they can be proud of :)

Thank you. You have no clue how much that meant to me.
