Re: Twins
in reply to a message by Circus Lullaby
I agree, these theme-y name sets that are given to twins are just obnoxious. To me, it kind of compromises a child's sense of personal identity when she has a name that's about one letter away from her sister/brother. Mary and Marie would just be annoying to me if I was a part of that set.
There are some themes that do work for me, like historical context or same meaning. For instance, BTN suggests Elijah and Joel, which I would use in a heartbeat. I also like Merav and Michal for girls, as they were sisters in the Old Testament. I think that as long as you don't go over the top with themes, it works fine.
