Names of Algerian twin girls
There was a story on yahoo about conjoined twin girls who were separated surgically in a hospital in Rome, and and are now doing well. Their names are Rayene and Djihene. I'm not really sure about the pronounciation, though the names look like they might rhyme?
"We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”

that's cute. rhyming names for twins are cute if they sound different otherwise. those both are very graceful sounding names too. glad they're doing well.
Thanks for the explaination! I'm wondering if the -ene ending depends on how they transcribed the names from Arabic?
