HelpRe: What would you name twins? middle name optional
in reply to a message by FictionPrincess31415
The mother of a friend of mine is a fraternal twin (both females). A cousin of that friend's - the cousin's father is my friend's mother's brother - had fraternal twin boys a couple of years ago. I was once told it was a trait only females could pass on, but if it's somehow X-chromosome-linked, then my friend's uncle may have passed the gene(s) onto his daughter.
Some days I think having multiples would be good, because I could get all or most of my parenting (would like to have 2-3 kids) done with at the same time... and then most days I think it would drive me nuts so no, thanks.
Today they would be:
Arthur James & William George
Charlotte Emilia & Theresa Niamh
Charlotte Emilia & Arthur William

It is passed through the X chromosome, but it is possible that it was passed from further up the lineage through a mother or grandmother somewhere.
Plus, not all fraternal twins are a result of genetic inheritance, some are just plain luck or diet. For example, some types of yam have a tendency to make women release multiple eggs during ovulation. Also, women who consume a lot of dairy, have children late in life or are overweight may release multiple eggs to increase the chances of having twins.
Genetics is only part of it.
As for your names - Theresa Niamh is adorable and classy at the same time! I like it with Charlotte a lot.

Yeah! I heard about Yams increase the chances of producing twins (or other multiples) I read that some where's online. Same with consistent diet of dairy and having kids later in life. But I really don't reccomend being overweight and trying to conceive (Even though that does happen) I heard that overweight or heavier mothers have an increase chance to have a child with Autism (a child on any part on the Autistic spectrum) though even more if they have diabetes. ): not so great...

it's specific types of yams (like Yoruba). Most of these yams are imported from Asia or Africa. Eating them (or buying the dried stuff and taking it like a pill) totally works, but it's crazy expensive.
However, you can get some of the yams in the imported section of the store.
I also do not recommend TTC while overweight, but I am currently pregnant and (unfortunately) obese technically. I am far more worried about diabetes than Autism.

Yes, "Yoruba" is what I heard. But to be honest, if twins don't ever come my way, it is what it is. I wouldn't want to force myself to eat something I don't care for (yams i dont care for lol. I'll stick with dairy
And the overweight thing while preg I heard many times for YEARS from several resources. Bigger moms have an increased chance of having a child with autism but even more if they have diabetes (diabetes regardless of their weight\body type) at least that's what scientist supposingly say. You can Google it yourself. Tons of sites and article supporting the claim. This does not gaurentee that your child will be on the spectrum. Its just from what they say that the chances are increased
Take care (:

Cassava, not Yoruba. Sorry, the Yoruba peoples eat cassava.
Cassava candy is my husband's favorite (besides Durian). Cassava cakes are also quite nice.

Totally off topic
Oh man... I looked up cassava cakes and they sound so good! We've got lots of Filipino people in my city...I wonder if I could find the ingredients to make it at a specialty grocery store. Or maybe I could beg the ladies at work to make me some.
