HelpLeila and Twinkle (seriously)
My sister works in a library so she sees a lot of kids' names signing them up for library cards. And mostly she doesn't tell me of them because she's not that interested, but this sibset...
Leila Rosebud Cherry-Blossom
and
Twinkle.
Just Twinkle, no middle names, which is odd considering Leila had three. With their last name it's especially amusing but I'm not putting that up, for obvious reasons.
Anyway. There the names are, for your enjoyment (:

I feel bad for those kids. I can see Leila trying to make sure no one knows her middle names and poor Twinkle. Unfortunately, she's bound to be the target of nursery rhyme jokes because lets face it, most kids are just mean like that.

What...happened? How do you go from four names to Twinkle? Not even Twinkle Littlestar Corn-Muffin or something? They don't sound like they were named by the same person.
Actually, I wonder if she let Leila name her little sibling. That might explain it.

Twinkle Littlestar Corn-Muffin! It should have been this :o
And that's an interesting idea, actually. It would still be strange they didn't tell the older one she had to choose a "real" name, but if that was true it would be less random.

Ahahaha, Twinkle Littlestar Corn-Muffin! :D

Twinkle is terrible, but is it bad that I actually think Leila Rosebud Cherry-Blossom is pretty kickass?

Heh, not necessarily. I can kind of see what you mean... it's so overly flowery and overdone that you can kind of see some hardcore punk girl being like "Yeah, my name is Leila Rosebud Cherry-Blossom and f**k you all."

Leila Rosebud I could enjoy, but Cherry-Blossom tips it over. Twinkle is just plain ridiculous!

Is the last name Littlestar?
1
Ha, no. But it should be!

Leila is fine, but those middle names sound like somebody overdosed on bath salts, real bath salts you actually bathe in to smell good.
Twinkle is just stupid, something a five-year-old might think was cute.
Together, Leila and Twinkle sound like somebody's pet rabbits.

Leila is the only practical name. I feel so bad for twinkle; she doesn't even have a middle name she can fall back on. Sorry but Rosebud (not Rose) Cherry-blossom and Twinkle are bluntly stupid for human names. It almost makes me think that the woman was heavily medicated while naming them. Seriously...(Though obviously not including Leila)

If I were Twinkle, I'd be super jealous of my sister. Though, Rosebud Cherry-Blossom is far too much flower in one name for my tastes. Why not Leila Rosebud and Twinkle Cherry-Blossom? Just to balance things out a bit or something.
Also, I misread Twinkle as 'Twinkie' about three times before I saw what it really said.
And of course, Twinkle does start with 'twink' which has a few rather negative associations (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/twink#Etymology_3). Poor kid.

Honestly, I have no idea...
I'd never heard to those uses for 'twink'. Maybe because here twink is the name of that liquid paper you use to cover up mistakes made with pen, it doesn't get used as these slang terms?
Or I could just not have heard of them.
Either way, it's a terrible name.

I worked with a Twinkle! It was so strange because it was a very corporate setting. No one ever brought up her name, which was polite I guess.
Leila is so so beautiful and all that jazz after it is a bummer. Just Leila Rosebud or just Leila Cherry-Blossom would have been better. Not perfect, but better.
I wonder if Twinkle also has middle names but just didn't include them on her library card.

Really? Wow, I never even imagined it was used as a name. I guess in that kind of setting people would be polite enough not to mention. If it was me, though, I would have changed it as soon I was old enough :/
No middle names for Twinkle (unfortunate). When they sign up they need to bring birth certificates as proof of name and age.
