Twin baby girls

Oh dear. Did the parents already choose a favourite because they clearly don't like Knatalye. If spelled properly the names are fine. The Hope and faith thing is a little corny but in the middle name spot it's bearable. I like both names separately anyway.
Gross.
Would prefer Gnatalie myself. ;-)

disappointed in their parents.
I really like Natalie, but that spelling is ugly. I think I heard somewhere that in the first half of the 20 century the ye ending was in fashion, so you had stuff like Sadye and Bettye and Rubye.
I don't like Adeline, and what's more I never know how it's supposed to be pronounced. I grew up saying (when I ever had to say it at all) Add-a-line. But now Add-a-Lyn seems to be the way to go. If this Adeline is the Add-a-lynn pronunciation, then it's going to be easily misheard as Natalie.

Knatalye is absolutely hideous! As bad as the spelling is (I thought it was pronounced ke-na-TAL-yuh), it never occurred to me that the pronunciation is the same as Natalie. WTH???
Little Adeline lucked out. It's so bizarre that one child gets a completely traditional name while with the other, it's as if the parents said, "Who cares about this one? You're on your own, kid."

I never get these twin sets, where one name is lovely, and the other is either a terrible name or (as in this case) a shocking spelling of a perfectly good name.
They are very mismatched to me. I wonder if each twin was named by a different parent.
That's an odd combo. Poor Knatalye got the shaft.
Agreed!
It's always good to learn of twins safely arrived, but..poor Knatalye! Luckly she has Hope!
