[Opinions] Re: What do you think of these names for twins?
in reply to a message by Tiarnán
Two boys:
- Aodhán & Setanta > Setanta looks really strange to me... it sounds more of a girls' name than a boys' name! The spelling/pronunciation of Aodhán is too complicated: I'd suggest Aden / Aedan / Aidan / Aiden which I like a lot
- Randy & Cody > they match although I don't really like any of them... reminds me of cowboys or some farmers' sons
- Remus & Regulus > I love Remus! Regulus sounds like "regular" or at least not really like a name... plus it looks too much like Romolus, the other founder of Rome. Suggestions: Aeneas, Evander, Silvius
- Fiachra & Conn > they might match regarding their origin, but Fiachra looks/sounds weird... more like a surname, and it sounds feminine. I like Conn a bit better, but it doesn't look complete.
How about Fergus / Fin(n)bar(r) / Finl(a/e)y/ Finn(a/e)gan / Finn(i)an / Fionn(an) / Flannan & Caolan / Cathan / Colum ?
Two girls:
- Joanna (Joey) & Andrea (Andie) > they match, but I think it's weird to think of nicknames while thinking about their real names
- Sunshine & Moonshine > a NO-GO in my opinion!
- LaQuisha & Shaniqua > look made-up and a little too similar
- Ginnie & Carrie > seem to be more of a nickname although they're not too bad... but what about Gena / Geena & Carla / Carlie / Carlotta / Carola / Karola / Karoline ?
- Kylie & Dannii > poor copy of the famous Australian sisters
- Mickie & Melina > Mickie is more of a boys' name for me, and reminds me of "Mickey Mouse" - Melina is ok
Boy & Girl:
- Jason & Brooke > ok, although I'm not the biggest fan of Jason
- Umbriel & Ariel > Umbriel looks made-up, I like Ariel - too similar though! There are so many alternatives as of Hebrew names for Umbriel though
- Aodh & Fionnuala > Aodh looks hard to pronounce/spell, Fionnuala as well... what about Aden / Aedan / Aiden / Aidan & Finola? a little more folksy
- Aodhán & Setanta > Setanta looks really strange to me... it sounds more of a girls' name than a boys' name! The spelling/pronunciation of Aodhán is too complicated: I'd suggest Aden / Aedan / Aidan / Aiden which I like a lot
