Re: New twin boys - opinions?
It really bugs me that there are 3 “A” names and Charlie. Like, it would be much more aesthetically pleasing to me if they would have done Adam Alexander and A____ Alastair.Other than that... Adam is fine, Alexander is fine, Alastair is fine, if a bit persnickety and snobbish, and Charlie is just dumb as a full name.

Seems to be a trend in the UK, having NN as full names, I like the idea of the middle names. I think Alexander and Charles would have been better and I think having different initials is good

Yeah I thought Charlie as a full name was a very UK thing. I didn't know if that was a trend elsewhere though.

Australia has lots of Charlie's here too, mainly girls though

And I can see the point of people naming their children what they plan on calling them.
My boys have often asked me why we didn’t just name their sister Gracie, since thats what we have called her since birth, as opposed to Grace.
My reasoning is that Grace sounds better as a name, and if she decides to when she is older, has Grace as an option instead of Gracie.
But, I do see their point. I just don’t like it. Lol
