I vote for [name]Morwenna[/name], but only because the one [name]Morwenna[/name] I “know” is awesome. Fabulous names btw, comgrats on your twins.

I think I’d rather it was [name]Helen[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name]

I voted for [name]Morwenna[/name], but it is very close to [name]Morgana[/name]. I thought the [name]Gwen[/name] combinations seemed a little more awkward, but [name]Guinevere[/name] is the obvious person missing from the Arthurian sibset; perhaps another variant of her name?

I prefer [name]Helen[/name] [name]Morwenna[/name]

I like [name]Helen[/name] [name]Gwyneira[/name] the best.

I really dont care for any of the middle names. I would use Gwyndolen. [name]Gwyneira[/name] sounds like an std. Sorry.

I voted for [name]Helen[/name] [name]Gwyneira[/name]. Gweneira looks strange to me since I’ve never seen it before. [name]Helen[/name] and [name]Morwenna[/name] both have strong “en” sounds so they’re a bit too rhymey for me. Are you purposely trying to do a medieval/[name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] theme? You’ve got [name]Morgana[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Percival[/name] and [name]Merlin[/name] from [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], and [name]Isolde[/name] from the medieval poem [name]Tristan[/name] and [name]Isolde[/name] ([name]Iseult[/name]). And if you are… as far as I know neither [name]Rosa[/name] nor [name]Meredith[/name] is medieval or Arthurian… if you’re the kind to worry about “even” sibsets.

Thankyou all for your comments. We have decided! [name]Helen[/name] [name]Morwenna[/name] it is. Rhymey I know but [name]Morwenna[/name] is a name I’ve loved for years.

bonfireazalea: they did start just as names we liked, so not tied to a theme as such - they were names we liked in spite of the theme!

[name]Helen[/name] [name]Maria[/name] or [name]Helen[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Helen[/name] [name]Faith[/name]… is my best ideas. Congratulations.

Very lovely choice!

Yes. [name]Guinevere[/name] is a much better choice. I dislike the way that the -en syllable repeats in [name]Helen[/name] [name]Morwenna[/name] and the [name]Gwen[/name] combos are too awkward for me.
