[Opinions] Re: If you had twins today
I was actually thinking about this really hard earlier, because I discovered I had changed my mind about Charlotte a lot. I'm also on an honoring-people stint.Charlotte Adele and Henry Benedict are still my b/g, because I like the sibset a lot.
BB: Henry Benedict and Simon Ludwig. (Or Beethoven, or Mozart, or Wolfgang. I'm really torn here.)
(Or maybe I would be really irritating and give them both two middle names:
Henry Mozart Augustus and Simon Beethoven Benedict. Hmm fun!)GG: Josephine Cecilia and Adele Minerva. (Cecilia for the patron saint of musicians. I just learned this.) This is an agonizing choice today, much more so than before. Fun though!

These are all very handsome.I've always had a strong musical association with the name Cecilia; there is a painting in my childhood home of a serene Saint Cecilia sitting with her fingers poised on a keyboard and a little angel dropping flower petals around her hands. I used to stare at it and swear I could see her fingers moving.So, Cecilia always means grace and music to me, so it's an excellent choice if you want a musical name for your daughter.I knew a boy in school, a brilliant pianist, with the beautiful middle name Amadeo, after Mozart. I think given names might be a much more graceful, and almost as obvious, way to honor composers than surnames.
