I have a ds(15) and a dd(13). They both have classic names that I still love. I am fascinated by names though and sometimes ponder what I might have named them on alternative themes. So.....
European - Matteo and Rosa
A little bit posh - Sebastian and Harriet
From my grandparents era - Nancy and William
Royal - Elizabeth and Charles
Care to add your own name choices/themes?
