HelpRe: My friend just had twins!!!
in reply to a message by AnnaMarie
Lennon, Leonardo, Leonard, even Leon...and they go with just Lenny? Whatever. It's not a terrible name, but it would've been nice for the kid to have a more mature name to grow up with. Vernon is ugly, but I guess it's honouring.
Chrissy is 10x worse than Lenny. Chrissy sounds like something a toddler would call someone named Christine/Christina. It sounds beyond cutesy...it sounds like either the name of a very young child, or something a young child would call an adult as a nn.
If all the names are family names, then I'm sure the parents were trying to honour people while still allowing their children to have their own names. I completely understand the appeal in honouring someone named Christine with the name Chrissy (because it's cute), but that child does have to grow up.

I keep thinking I want to call this pair of twins Lenny and Squiggy. Lenny just sounds like a loser, somebody who hangs around on the street corner till somebody tells him to move off and/or he can get himself into a fight.
Chrissy just sounds like a girl who lives in a trailer park in 1982 who has a bad home perm and wears her shorts so tight they show half her butt and she's always cracking her gum and bumming cigarettes off Lenny and pushing her boobs out at him.
