Bruce Willis' youngest 2 daughters definitely got the better names! It also answers the question of who picked out the names for his oldest 3 daughters with Demi Moore. Evelyn and Mabel are beautiful, classic names. They're some of the few celeb BA's I've seen lately that I'd actually use.As for Roger Federer's twins, I like Leo but not Lenny. Also, if Lenny is a NN for Leonard... that's like naming your kids Leo and Leonard. Kind of redundant?

Apparently, Willis' second wife has much better naming tastes than Demi ever did. Not a huge fan of Mabel and Evelyn, but perfectly normal compared to Rumer, Scout and Tallullah.

I can't help but wonder if Bruce Willis is desperate for a son. Anyway, I like Mabel and Evelyn as a sibset. Leo and Lenny are just too close. I can't really understand that they thought it was a good idea to name twin brothers Leo and Lenny. The girls' names are not my style but I'm glad they aren't matchy twin names.

I will not soon recover from the sheer awfulness of the four Federer children's names. My DS suggested that giving birth to twins scrambles their parents' name-giving brains, and I must agree. The last two Willis girls got lucky, compared to the first three. I'm delighted with Mabel!

Lenny is butt ugly, but I guess they couldn't use Leonard with a brother Leo.

I LOVE Mabel and Evelyn for sisters! Two names I find to be gorgeous and in the one sib set, divine! They clearly like their "grandmother" names, which is fine with me!Leo and Lenny sound cute together too, even though I can generally leave Lenny alone.

I was going to say that Evelyn, much as I dislike it, is a vast improvement over Rumer et al., but when I saw her sister's name I changed my mind. Mabel and Evelyn, straight out of the nursing home.Lenny is kind of a hoodlum name, and doesn't go with the hipster Leo at all.
Nice to see Charlene, I've always liked it and it's a nice change from Charlotte.
Two sets of twins ... twins seem to be the hot celebrity fashion statement these days.

Mabel and Evelyn go very well together. Good for them. OTOH, guess Roger and wife don't realize that Leo and Lenny are practically the same name. I love Leo, but still ...
