Help[Opinions] Re: What would you name a set of twins?
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
Without a theme and names I'd really be able to use (not taking other half's opinion into account) they'd be
Alba Liadan Ilta and Ione Tamsin Wren
Alba Liadan Ilta and Magnus Luca Valo
Magnus Luca Valo and Runo Somerled Odhran
With themes
Alba Tamsin Ilta and Iris Vanamo Saorsa
Alba Liadan Ilta and Magnus Luca Valo
Magnus Luca Valo and Rune Somerled Jari
Themes - I'd want the children to have a Finnish name and a 'Scottish' name. Magnus is not a Scottish name really, but he's a saint of Orkney, so close enough. Somerled is also an anglicised verision of the Gaelic name Sormhairle.
Alba and Magnus are also Latin names, Magnus and Rune (replacing Runo which is Finnish but doesn't sit well with Magnus in the theme) are also Scandinavian names and I like the balance. I also like the double letters of Alba and Iris. Tamsin and Vanamo both are a twist on 'twin'. Vanamo means twin flower, Tamsin is the feminisation of Thomas which means twin.
Alba and Saorsa together mean Scotland and Freedom, so I'd love to throw that in, but I don't think I'd use them together in reality as Saorsa is difficult with our surname.
But I might have overthought this.
