[Opinions] twin boys name opinions
My husband and I are adopting twin boys from Eastern Europe. Their names are Sasha and Artur. We have decided to keep their first names, but change Artur to Arthur. I need opinions on middle names, please.Most of these are constellation/ star names. Arthur Erasmus
Arthur Orian (o-RYE-on)
Arthur Eridanus (eh-RID-uh-nus)
Arthur Caelum (SEE-lum)Sasha Eridanus
Sasha Achernar (ACK-er-nahr)
Sasha Orian
Sasha Leonardo I love this combination as well, but it must be used together: Sasha Castor and Arthur Pollux. Castor and Pollux are "twin stars" and are named after twin brothers in Roman mythology. Other suggestions are completely welcome. Thanks :)

I like:Arthur Orian & Sasha Leonardo I also like Sasha Castor and Arthur PolluxI would personally change Sasha's name to Aleksander and use Sasha as a nickname. I think it will give him more flexibility as he grows. Good luck.

Arthur Erasmus and Sasha Leonardo GMV, but I really like all of the combos except Arthur Caelum.I love Castor and Pollux too, but I'm not sure if I prefer them to Erasmus and Leonardo or not. (Come to think of it, Erasmus and Leonardo are kind of theme-y too, as they were both Renaissance hotshots.) I think I'm one of very few people on BtN who sometimes enjoys themes, though. :PCongratulations and great names! Lucky that their names were good to start with, too.

Thanks. I was worried Castor and Pollux wouldn't sound right.
