[Opinions] Re: Time to name your twins!
I love Eleanor Phoebe, Hugh, and Thomas. Samuel's okay, but too popular, and Samuel Hugh has too much of the 'yoo' sound together. Gawain is a GP. Charlotte's fine, but too popular and I don't even know how to pronounce Amadea...

I pronoucne Samuel as "SAM-yul" rather than SAM-yoo-ul, so Samuel Hugh doesn't really sound like too much "yoo" that way. And Amadea is sort of a feminine variation for Amadeus, pronounced "ah-meh-DAY-uh."

Even with the "SAM-yul" pronounciation (which I use, as well), it still sounds like too much 'yoo' sound. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.Thanks for the help on pronouncing Amadea. I don't think I could use it, specifically because I'd be singing (in my head) the song, "Rock Me, Amadeus" every time I'd try to use her middle name! Then again, I would use Anakin (for a boy), so to each their own. :)
