HelpRe: Twins?
in reply to a message by JessicaLeigh
The following are my honest opinions:
The only name I like is Grace. And Lynne, if spelled that way, for a girl. Lynn to me is a male name.
Haleigh and Kelsie are way too similar for twins imo. Imo, you can change the spellings to the orignals of Hayley and Kelsey; you'll still honour your family members, since the names are exactly the same except for the spelling. I will also say that I prefer both names for boys only, of course.
Royce and Landley are very masculine to me and don't suit girls at all well imo. But they're better because they're mns, so it doesn't matter quite so much.

I think she meant...
... that it's the sound that matters. You say a name more than you see a name so I think that's what Miranda was getting at. You can still name Kelsey after Elsie and Hayley after Leigh because it's the person's *name* or *identity* that you're doing the naming after... not the spelling.
But personally, I think you should just go for whatever spellings you like best. :)

p.s. We'd like to name a daughter's fn or mn after hubby's mother, Clare, but neither of us like the spelling. We'd opt for Claire or even Clara, but it's still considered 'naming her after Clare'. :)
