Help[Opinions] Re: Twins Full Names
in reply to a message by Millie
I've never seen the appeal of Abigail - my friend has a delightful Abigail daughter, but even she doesn't change my mind. Maybe if it shortened to Gail rather than Abby I'd like it better. Or, Gail could be a stand-alone name. Better still!
My mother had a school friend named Evangeline who was always known as Vangie. Rather than risk a repeat, I'd use Eva as a full name; also, I'm not religious so Evangeline wouldn't be appropriate anyway.
Rosalyn looks like a contemporary of Marilyn and Carolyn; I'd prefer Rosemary, Rosalind or, especially, Rosamund. Rose on its own would be a pleasant surprise as a fn in its own right.
Since the family clearly likes long names with short nns, they might consider Annabel, Cecilia, Penelope, Theresa or Victoria, to be known as Ann, Celia or (shudder!) Cissy, Penny (or Nell), Tessa or Vickie.
