Help[Opinions] Re: How would you choose twin names?
in reply to a message by Ismene
Well, the most important thing would be that I'd use names I liked the same amount, and which didn't differ a lot in unusualness or style. That would be easy for boys, less easy for girls.
As for which twin got which name ... there is virtually no personality or even a good estimation of appearance, at birth. There's only an ineffable feeling, IME, about the "fit" of a name. I would rely on that to decide which name belonged on which baby. Nothing else makes sense. If I really truly couldn't tell them apart I'd probably use alphabet order = birth order. Because I could be pretty sure I'd always be able to remember that!
I would not care in the least about how the names sounded when said together.
