Re: How would you choose twin names?
in reply to a message by Ismene
For identical twins, I would name them according to how I wanted the names to flow. Oldest gets the name I think should go first in the flow of the names. Make sense?
Like, if I wanted to name my twins Charles and Thomas and I thought they flowed better as Thomas and Charles, then Thomas would be the oldest and Charles the youngest based strictly off the flow of the names together.
If they were fraternal twins, I would name them based on appearance. My twin cousins are named Lily and Laila. Lily has dark brown hair and Laila has red. From the day they were born, I have thought the names should be reversed because I think the dark haired one should be "Laila" because it has a dark meaning ("night").
