[Opinions] Twins I met and new baby
I met these two identical twins today. Their names were Sean and Shane. I thought that was horrible!Also, my second cousin just adopted a baby from Russia. The baby's name was Alexandra (they called her Sasha) but my cousin changed the name to Emily Alexandra. I thought it was okay, but Emily is getting really popular.WDYT?

Sean is a lovely name (I adore the Shaun spelling). Shane is ok. Together, the names are just two twinny. I like the idea of twin names connecting in some way (such as starting with the same letter or having the same meaning, etc) but Sean and Shane? Ugh.Emily Alexandra is a simply beautiful name. A name I am considering for an original character in a fan fic. I know Emily is a popular name though that doesn't stop Emily Alexandra being such a lovely name.Sabrina :)

i like sasha spelled sascha for a boy. I like Emily too and its on my list. Alexandra is nmsaa. If I adopted a baby from a different country and their name was something from that country and i liked it I wouldnt change it like Sergei or Sascha. It's a pretty name though.

Sean and Shane are two names that I have been debating with forever and ever when I think about naming my future son. Not good for twins though!!As for your second cousin's new baby, I much prefer Alexandra to Emily. Sasha is so cute. I hope that is what she really goes by instead of Emily though. So cute!

The twin names are awful.I don't really think there was a good reason to change her first name to Emily (maybe add a mn) since not only is Alexandra nn Sasha a nice name, it's very easy as far as Russian names go for English speakers. I mean, it could have been Boleslava or Evpraksiya.

Sean and Shane > How stupid could a person be? I guess very. What are their middle name Evan & John? People really should have to take a test before they can name children.Emily Alexandra > Nice, but Emily has been the #1 name since 1996. with 25,494 little girls last year and that doesn't even include other spellings such as Emilee, Emmalee and countless others.

It's a shame that they changed her name. I love the nn Sasha for a boy or a girl, plus it connects the baby to her roots.Sean and Shane are ridiculous. It's kind of like the more babies a person has, the more stupid he or she gets about naming them.
