[Opinions] Childhood dream about twins
As a kid I really wanted to have twins (boy/girl) during Purim, and call them... yup, Mordechai and Esther lol
If I used them today, the full names would probably be Hadassah Esther or Esther Hadassah, and Mordechai Bilshan (Hadassah & Bilshan being the Hebrew names of Esther & Mordechai).It's probably a bit tacky, even in a Jewish family, and I don't think it's common to have b/g twins on Purim lol
But WDYT?Prononciation:
Hadassah = hah-dah-sah
Esther = es-ter (e like in pet, men...)
Mordechai = mohr-deh-khie (e like ^)
Bilshan = beel-shahn

No, please don't. I really hate themes, especially on twins. And since the kids would be Jewish too, it would be obvious to them and their families. Good idea, though, and it's more subtle than, say, Kayla and Shayla.

I say go for it! I like themey names! Sorry if I sound stupid here, but what's Purim? I'm not familiar with it. Is that a religious or cultural thing? I'f so, I'm a white American baptist girl, so I'm confused!

Hadassah is lovely, it sounds strong and is very interesting IMHO. Esther is a nice name as well. Mordechai has some strange, somewhat evil athmosphere to me, but I'd certainly say use it!

I think it's sweet. Hadassah is a very nice Hebrew name. I do hope you have b/g twins on Purim, despite the odds against you, lol!*Cody*Michelle*

Would you name a daughter or son after them if you had only one child during Purim?I like Esther and Mordechai.
