[Opinions] 'Irish twins'
By Irish twins I mean siblings born less than 12 months apart. If you had two children born 10 months and two days apart, what would you call them and why?GG

I'd name them the same as any other set of siblings I plan to name (why would the age gap make a difference?).Barbara and Ana-Sofia

Leonora Blythe and Petra MagdaleneorFreya Marianne and Damian ArthurorRaphael Henry and Aurelia Marianneor Gideon Arthur and Matthias HenryNot really sure why. They are some of my favorite combos that I think sound good together in a sibset, and some sound more like older brothers/sisters, or younger.

I don't think I would name them any differently than I would two "regular" children. As far as names go...G/G- Aviva Ronit/Dalia Batel
G/B- Leah Meital/Ronen Tamir
B/G- Avram Daniel/Tova Nitzan
B/B- Hosea Doron/Reuben NatanI'm really diggin' Hebrew names lately.

To answer the why: FNs because I like them, MNs because they're honouring and the only thing I'd do differently with actual twins, is maybe mix up the MNs, because now I'll use the names that are most important to me first, while with twins I could let flow of the combo be a more important factor.GGNova Philippa Elodie

(these MNs would definitely be mixed up with actual twins, to avoid 3 -s endings in a row)
