Due in Dec with twins - a boy and a girl!!!

Already have a Daniel Patrick (aged 8 July just gone). Really struggling with what to name his siblings though!!!

I LOVE the name Leah for the girl twin but really dislike the meanings; (weary/to tire/weak eyes/etc). They're just so horrible for such a lovely name!!! :( It's putting me off, although I keep coming back to it!!!!!

I'm completely lost on the boy twins name though. DH likes Thomas but his Dsis's favourite (and much mentioned) name for a boy, so we can't steal that!!! Is Nicholas totally horrendous? Maybe we should stick with a Biblical/Irish link?! (As in Biblical first name, Irish middle name)?!

Help me! I'm going nuts!!! Confused Any ideas welcome!!!!! Grin

It is so off-putting, isn't it?! I also think Rebecca is lovely - and Rachel also...

The trouble is, there aren't enough biblical names to go around that haven't been extensively used/stolen by my family, lol!!! Grin

Leah is really nice, I don't think it will matter too much about the meaning especially if you give a good meaning for the mn

for a boy what about Adam?

For your boy, may I suggest Alexander Diarmuid? (or Dermot if you want to anglicise it). I think that would be nice with a 1-syllable surname.

Fecker · 26/08/2010 14:14

Ooooooh - Alexander is AWESOME - how on earth did we miss that one?! I quite like Dermot as a middle name as well - I'd probably spell any Irish middle names in the Anglicised manner as my son's middle name is spelt Patrick rather than Padraig! Brilliant suggestion though - I will put that on the shortlist! :)

I have a Daniel and an Alexander and think they go really well together, great timeless names. I love Leah too.

Glad to be of service Grin. I only have DD or there would be an Alexander in my life too.
