Lacks, had to at Samuel L! Guess you're not going for Latoya either ! I think it is good having a 'plain' surname,'exotic' names actually sound cooler with it. There was a midwife in the hospital the other day called: PRUDENCE JONES. I mean, what a fab name is that? I would love to have Prudence, but Prudence Emmanuel is just too much!
Liking the orange name idea, but Sienna Emmanuel is a bit of a tongue twister! Whoever pointed out about all the M's had a point I think...
Am TOTALLY at a loss.
By the by...On the subject of differentiating twins. I think you can also go too far the other way and try to totally deny they are twins (as a reaction to the days of Alec and Alex - I actually know id twins called this!!!). For example, I know many non twin siblings with names starting with same letter (dozy? ). In my opinion (and I am not a twin, but only a mother of twins), being a twin is something unique and special to be celebrated as well as doing your best to aid different, unique identities. The trick is finding the BALANCE in this. The fact mine are boy/ girl and non identical already differentiates them a fair bit.
Having said all that, it is proving hard enough to find 2 names dh and I both like, let alone 2 names that go well together (and our first ds).
Ooooh, you will all get a great surprise when we finally get round to naming these babies! I will take the baby name book to hospital.
