So hubby and I have fallen in love with the name [name]Amabel[/name]!!
It is officially going to be our daughter’s first name!
Now we just have to finish up the middle name! sigh
In our last thread I said that we wanted to change the middle name from [name]Artemis[/name] to another mythology name. I started to really fall for the middle name: [name]Iris[/name].
However…(it can never be easy can it?) hubby has changed his mind (once again sigh) on [name]Artemis[/name]. Now he wants to use [name]Artemis[/name] as our twin girl’s middle name after all! He has argued that he loves the thought of our twins middle names being [name]Artemis[/name] and [name]Apollo[/name] and still loves the connection the two would share. I argued that it wouldn’t be a good idea to use [name]Artemis[/name] because [name]Amabel[/name] and [name]Artemis[/name] don’t sound good together. He doesn’t agree with me on that though.
At this point I really don’t care whether we go with [name]Artemis[/name] or [name]Iris[/name]! I love both! But I [name]DO[/name] want our daughter’s name to have a nice flow…
So I’m looking for honest opinions guys! Which sounds better?
[name]Amabel[/name] [name]Iris[/name]? Or [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Artemis[/name]?
Thanks!! (hopefully no more threads about [name]Artemis[/name] will have to be made :rolleyes: )
I don’t know what your last name is so if it were with my last name (3 syllables) I’d prefer [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Iris[/name].
However, with a shorter last name [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Artemis[/name] would be just a good.
I think connecting your twins with twin-middle names [name]Artemis[/name] and [name]Apollo[/name] would outweigh my LN concerns. I think it’s a great idea and really special. So I think my official vote would go to [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Artemis[/name].
What if you did [name]Diana[/name] instead, [name]Diana[/name] is the roman goddess and equivalent to [name]Artemis[/name]. [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Diana[/name] sounds much better. [name]Apollo[/name] didn’t change so to Romans it was [name]Apollo[/name] and [name]Diana[/name].
Other options are to go with moon goddess like [name]Luna[/name] or [name]Selene[/name].
If [name]Diana[/name] isn’t your thing, than I think [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Iris[/name] sounds much better.
[name]Amabel[/name] [name]Iris[/name] is gorgeous and flows better than [name]Amabel[/name] [name]Artemis[/name]. [name]Iris[/name] is mythological too so the twins would have a more subtle connection than the stronger link of brother and sister team, [name]Artemis[/name] and [name]Apollo[/name]. However, if he won’t budge on [name]Artemis[/name] then don’t sweat it.
