It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've been rather busy! Our twins arrived
July 26th, about two weeks ahead of schedule. Joining big brother
George and our little
Philomena are
Barnaby Hamish Edward and
Cecilia Christabel Jessamine. Both are healthy and doing well, and the older two are adjusting wonderfully.
We did not go with the names we had initially chosen,
Julien and
Cosima. The names
didn't seem to suit them, so under heavy medication and my husband jittery from about 10 cups of coffee, these are what we came up with. I named
Barnaby and
Christian named
Cecilia.
Barnaby has a warm, friendly feel to me, and we both love it.
Hamish honours my Scottish heritage and "exoticizes"
James, which is one of my family names.
Edward is one of
Christian's many middles. We both love
Cecilia and think it works beautifully with the others.
Christabel honours
Christian and
Jessamine honours me, a
Jessica.
Overall, we're completely happy with the names we've chosen, and this forum has been a great inspiration. Thank you all so much!
