Lux and Allegria
So, I'm writing a story and there are twin girls in it. Currently their names are Lux and Allegria, but I don't know if I'm gonna stick with it. I definitely want to keep Lux, but Allegria can go. Do you have any suggestions of names that compliment Lux? I especially like Mythological names and Celestial names, but the name doesn't have to be one of those. Any ideas? Or should I keep it the same?
Replies
Lux gives me dual impressions: she is the daughter of either a flashy celebrity or mobster, or of strict Catholic parents (à la The Virgin Suicides). In the first case, Allegria would actually still fit - but not in the second case.
For alternatives if the family is "flashy":
Harlow
Zia
Austen (as a feminine name)
Cyan
Fortune (as a feminine name)
Brandy
Billie
Jaclyn / Jacklyn
Chantal
Lisette
Samara
Adria
Audrea
Divina
Giselle
Larayne / Lorayne
Monet
Caprice
Jolie
If they're strict Catholics / religious / conservative:
Bettina
Audrey
Candace
Bernice / Berenice
Drusilla
Eunice
Joanna
Judith
Julia
Junia
Lydia
Maeleth
Magdalene / Magdalena "Magda"
Priscilla
Ruth
Susanna / Susannah
Tamar / Tamara
Amor (as a feminine name)
Aurea (this could also work for the "flashy" people)
Candida
Fortunata
Justina
Perpetua
