I came across another news item involving names. Two Italian twin sisters , Rossana and Valentina, gave birth on the same days to baby girls, respectively named Amelia and Daphne Regina.

Thoughts? Amelia is surprising because it’s so dated and kind of frumpy in Italian. I like Daphne and Regina individually, not sure about them together if they’re supposed to be a double first name rather than a first name/middle name combo. And I must say I love Rossana.

“And I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty,
I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine”
Leonard Cohen
