[Opinions] Twin for West Alessandra
Say for a pair of twins, boy and girl, I have the girls name picked: West Alessandra. What boys' name would work with it? I like Lysander for the middle name. I was going to go with North Lysander but West and North is a bit off for twins, what do you think?Thoughts?

I would choose another first name that wasn't the name of a direction name. Unfortunately, West Alessandra and North Lysander sound like city/town names and it may or may not inspire teasing. Actor David Duchovny's daughter is named West Duchovny and he even admitted that it sounded like the name of a city.Anyway, West Alessandra certainly doesn't sound bad or atrocious, but I'd definitely pick another name for the boy. How about Noah Lysander or Nathan Lysander?

I wouldn't go for another cardinal point of the compass. It would sound very cheesy.

West is very boyish and I dislike it very much for a girl, but I love Alessandra! West & North would be horrid for twins..

West = Westley = boy, imoAlessandra and Lysander as a set is acceptable enough, and North for a boy also scoots by the acceptability margin. But West for a girl? I think not.~Lillian~

And you are absolutely entitled to it, more power to youI hold many opinions no one else agrees with, that I cannot be talked out of. If you believe in something, no matter what it is, you should stick to your beliefs. I wasn't trying to dissuade you. I only answered your request for thoughts and opinions. If West Alessandra sounds good to you, go for it!~Lillian~

If they're real people (and not characters), West & North for twins is terribly tacky, imo. :-/ I love the mn's, Alessandra & Lysander, btw. For West Alessandra's twin, what about....Deacon Lysander
Archer Lysander (too many -ers?)
Alcott Lysander
Nash Lysander
Kenyon Lysander
Grady Lysander
Tate Lysander
Hale Lysander
Keaton Lysander
Bennett Lysander
Caspian Lysander
Noble Lysander
Bishop Lysander
Sterling Lysander
August Lysander

While I like Alessandra (have a predilection for Allisandra, though), West doesn't sound feminine to me at all--or even namey. Do you want another short, snappy, wordy name for the boy? If so, here are some suggestions:Jay
Noel
Quinn
Lon
Leo
Beck
Birch
Cedric
Hale
Indigo
Justice
Marley
OakAnd for some reason, the idea of twins named West Lysander and Rhyme Alessandra popped into my head.Array

She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on. A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
