Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT | Twins
in reply to a message by Immovable
Isla Primrose / Columba Rose: Awww :) I must admit that I prefer Iona to Columba, but you are right that it's much cheesier than this set - that would have been some rather intense matchiness. I think all of these names are wonderful, anyway.
Ignatius Carlisle / Blaise Donovan: I adore both Ignatius and Blaise. I adore them as a pair, as well - they go together beautifully (also my synesthesia wholeheartedly approves). I think you're right that Ignatius is strong enough to stand on its own, but I've always found middle name omission to be strange and a little sad. Not having a middle name just doesn't seem like anything to brag about (even if the first name is), and in a society where middle names are expected, the comment "oh, I don't have a middle name" is kind of awkward. Besides, I think it would be a shame to drop the middle names when they're so nice, and that Blaise would certainly do better to have one, as he's only one syllable.
Vincent Marcel / Regina Estelle: I am in love with Regina and think that she and Vincent are a perfect match. I cannot even describe how thrilled I would be to meet twins called Vincent and Regina.
Cordelia / Dashiell: Cordelia and Dashiell are both favorites of mine. Of your two combos, I prefer Cordelia Pearl and Dashiell Golden - Cordelia Pearl is iridescent and gorgeous, and Dashiell Golden is just so cool. Cordelia Inez and Dashiell Jerome are both lovely as well, so if you decide you want to go down the path that honors the father's heritage more, you certainly have an excellent option there.
Your twins are going to be stunningly named no matter what.

How would you pronounce Iona? Besides the matchiness, that was something else I had trouble with. I don't like it as Ay/ona at all, but when I said E/ona, it seemed wrong; Like it should be Fiona.
Ignatius and Blaise have been my B/B pairing from the start. I'm not particularly synesthetic, but something about the pair just sounds so right. As far as middle names go, I definitely don't want to go without. Ignatius is just such a good name that I can't seem to be content with any middle name; nothing seems good enough. Also: I like Carlisle- and I love Blaise Donovan- but something about those combos comes off as very English. As I've said, I haven't been too concerned with the other half of their lineage, but these seem too... ethnic, and completely in my favor?
I'm glad that you like Dashiell! Not a lot of people do, and I don't get it. I must admit to being unfamiliar with Dashiell Hammet, and more into Cate Blanchett. She's the reason I came across the name.
Cordelia Pearl is iridescent and gorgeous, and Dashiell Golden is just so cool
I concur! =)
