HelpRe: Twin names
in reply to a message by Anngelique
I'm going with the general opinion on the twins names. Kyra & Kiera and Blade & Blaise are way too close for twin's names.
I think twins really do a little more of their own identity and one way to do that is by giving them names that flow together nicely but are seperate. One of the most comon misconseption about twins is that their names have to start with the same letter or sound the same.
I know several twins who hate having their names be so much a like. Like two older ladies Dorothy & Dorothea who adopted the names Mary & Hope because they were always getting mixed up and their mother really wanted to name her daughter Mary Hope but she ended up with two daughters so she thought she had to use names that were alike!
So my suggestion would be to give your twins names that flow together nicely but are distinctly different names to help distinguish their different personalities. As you'll learn twins can look a lot alike but yet be so totaly different!
If you want a theme perhaps you should try first names that mean the same thing or have a theme like flower names, Bibical names, ect. or you could try doing a middle name theme. Names starting with the same letter are nice but often sound too cutesy and people (including you and your husband) will find themselves stumbling over their names! :)
I think Keira Anngelique & Blaise Leander are really cute combos! I almost hope you have boy/girl twins so you can use both of those names! :)
Sorry this is so long! I hope you find names you like soon.
