My mother dreamt last night that I had boy-girl twins.
I’m not pregnant at the moment, nor even trying, though I’m engaged and my fiance and I have begun discussing it. We’re thinking in two years or so we’ll try.
My mother is a bit psychic and has a history of uncanny dreams… so her dream has been on my mind today. In reality, I think having twins would be extremely challenging-- in fact, when she told me the dream I felt immediate, piercing dread (!).
Naming them would be very fun though.
So, maybe to dispel some of the dread, would you all help me consider names? Here’s my list:
Girls:
[name_f]Judith[/name_f] (family name)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (partner’s favorite)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (with the nickname Cookie-- a wildcard name)
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
Gwenllian
Boys:
[name_m]Martin[/name_m]
[name_m]Joachim[/name_m] (nn Achim)
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Ingram[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Gram[/name_m])
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Cy[/name_m])
[name_m]Arvo[/name_m]
Middle names: likely they would be 2 family names that I don’t want to write out for how distinctive they are, but other possibilities (all with personal and/or less distinctive family meaning):
[name_f]Sojourner[/name_f] (g)
Nightingale (g or b)
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] (g or b)
Wildflower (g)
Makepeace (g or b)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] (g)
Turiya (g or b)
[name_f]Ananda[/name_f] (g or b)
Our last name rhymes with “[name_f]Molly[/name_f]” and starts with an “S”. So yes, [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] both get a little hissy…
