Naming fictional twins. .

I’m working an a fanfic and, since I’m a huge name nerd, I’m having a some difficulty deciding on names for a pair of boy/girl twins. So, I would really appreciate it if you would vote on the combos. :smiling_face:

Also, I would suggest reading this ENTIRE POST before actually making your choice. There’s more information down below.

  • Ambrose & Celestia
  • Amias & Alma
  • Arthur & Stella
  • Asher & Ingrid
  • August & Freyja
  • Ezra & Elsa
  • Frederick & Adela
  • Luca & Enid
  • Magnus & Saga
  • Silas & Marnie
  • Theodore & Lyla

If it helps you decide, I’ll go ahead and lay out the meanings for each pairing for you as well.

• Ambrose ~ “immortal”
• Celestia ~ “heavenly”

• Amias ~ “beloved”
• Alma ~ “nurturing; soul”

• Arthur ~ “bear”
• Stella ~ “star”

• Asher ~ “fortunate; blessed; happy one”
• Ingrid ~ “fair; beautiful”

• August ~ “great; magnificent”
• Freyja ~ “a noble lady”

• Ezra ~ “help”
• Elsa ~ “pledged to God”

• Frederick ~ “peaceful ruler”
• Adela ~ “noble”

• Luca ~ “light”
• Enid ~ “life; spirit”

• Magnus ~ “greatest”
• Saga ~ “story; seeress”

• Silas ~ “from the forest”
• Marnie ~ “of the sea”

• Theodore ~ “gift of God”
• Lyla ~ “night”

I feel like knowing the meanings of the names may help understand why some of the names a paired together the way that they are.

Also, just as a bit of an aside, these fic babies have some Icelandic ancestry. Hopefully that explains some of the name choices.

And, lastly, this is part of a Star Trek fic (yes, I am a Trekkie). The story takes place within the AOS movie universe (also known as the Kelvin timeline).

If it helps any further, the boy twin’s two middle names are Ólaf Sashok. And the girl twin’s two middles are Rosamund T’Cara.

Based on the second middles for both, I think it’s fairly easy to guess that the babes also have some Vulcan ancestry. They are mostly Human, though.

Ólaf means “ancestor’s relic” and Rosamund means “rose of the world” when derived from Latin.

Sashok is a name that I thought could pass as a Vulcan moniker. It’s actually in the NB database, too! I’ve figured that in the Vulcan culture it would mean something like “strong leader who defends; protective warrior”. And T’Cara is something that I felt could pass for a female Vulcan name. It could mean something like “true friend; cherished one”.

Anyway, any and all help is appreciated! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Also, since I can’t get anyone to respond to me on my Wattpad account, does anyone on here have any suggestions for a fan cast / face-claim for Dr. [name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] “Geoff” M’Benga? And yes, this will always be his name to me. It was like that in the FanFic-verse forever before they gave him a different name in the [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek : SNW.

I have selected the names [name_m]Luca[/name_m] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]! :hugs:

[name_m]Luca[/name_m] ~ “light” (Italian or Romanian via Latin)

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] ~ “harp; lyre player” (Greek, Latin)
