Dream Twins!
Last night, I had a dream that my mom (who is in her 60s!) gave birth to a set of boy/girl twins. This would've been her second set of twins; she had boy/girl twins (my older brother & sister) in 1991. The dream twins were named Wyatt Timothy and Eleanor Josephine, a.k.a. "Ellie". Timothy and Josephine are the names of my mom's maternal grandparents. Elly is the name of my cousin-in-law (short for Ellyn).What do you guys think of the names?——

Nice! A little on the boring side as far as dream names go, but I love the flow of those combos.I once had a dream that I gave birth to b/g/g triplets - Joshua (okay, I take back the "boring" comment lol), Philippine, and I can't remember Baby C's name. But yeah - talk about mismatched! lol

Maybe the dream means that you will end up having twins in the future if so inclined!Eleanor Josephine is lovely. Hate the nn Ellie though - trite. Nell, Nella, Nora would be more interesting.I don't have anything positive to say about Wyatt Timothy, there's not many boy names that I dislike more than that pair. And the combo doesn't fit with the sister imo.

Eleanor Josephine is beautiful. Wyatt Timothy is meh.

An older woman giving birth would intuitively symbolize something like wisdom creation to me. Or a mirror of a past experience, I guess.
Interesting that Timothy means to honor and Josephine means to increase, even if they're literally your great-grandparents/past.Wyatt sounds stereotypically American "frontier" to me. Eleanor and Timothy could be too, but in a more classic British way. Josephine and Ellie are between.
I like Josephine and Timothy, don't feel much in particular for Wyatt or Eleanor (they're bland/familiar yet feel unrelatable).

I like Timothy more than Wyatt. Eleanor Josephine is pretty though I myself would pick a different El-name since I'm not a huge Eleanor fan in comparison to others. I had B/G twins with the middles after my maternal grandparents they'd be Leonard "Leo" and Patricia in the middle spots. But I'd consider trimming Patricia down to just Patrice and Leonard would be Leonardo

Nice! Don't you wonder where that whole dream came from? The scenario itself. And why those particular names? On the one hand, I think Timothy Wyatt flows marginally better than the reverse. But I do like Wyatt. I have a couple of ancestors named Wyatt. So I have a soft spot and it's fine with Wyatt first. Eleanor Josephine is just super classic, with both names enjoying a recent bump in popularity. They are well paired style wise.

Although I dislike the name Eleanor (I find it quite plain), I do really like the (nick)name Ellie. Wyatt and Ellie make a great sibset!

Wyatt doesn't happen where I live, and I find it extremely unattractive. I like Timothy and Eleanor a lot; enough to use. Josephine doesn't appeal to me as a fn, but as a mn for family reasons it's fine. I also dislike Ellyn, and Ellen.
