Full disclosure: I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] matchy twinsets. But not too matchy.
I was reading the Wikipedia page about [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] [name_f]VI[/name_f] and when I read her childrensā names, I was OVERJOYED. Twins called [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] II & [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Helios[/name_m]!!! First, the matchy second names: [name_f]Selene[/name_f] in honor to the [name_f]Moon[/name_f] and [name_m]Helios[/name_m] after the [name_f]Sun[/name_f].
Then, their first names. [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] means āglory of the fatherā/ āglorious ancestorsā and it was the name of several princesses and queens of ancient [name_u]Egypt[/name_u]. While [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] was named after [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] the Great and it means ādefender of the peopleā/ ādefending menā/ āprotector of menā. I just love how both of them were named after past rulers and their names have powerful meanings for people of royal lineage.
Now Iām looking for ideas, suggestions and inspiration for twinsets (or multiples in general). Girl-girl, boy-boy, girl-boy. The objective here is to find combos which work perfectly well by themselves (cough cough [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] II), but complement each other and amplify the imagery when together.
So, no [name_f]Lola[/name_f] & [name_f]Lula[/name_f], please. We are namenerds, we can do better.
