Sometime I just wonder what people are thinking....

A few names I have seen recently:

Euphoria (girl)
Onix (girl)
Akias and
Akimas (twin boys)
Christina and
Christiana (twin girls)

Both twin sets are younger than 2 years. There is only 1 letter difference in each set. One letter. I feel sorry for their teachers. What do you guys think about Onix (or Onyx) and Euphoria? I kind of like Onyx, but for someone else's child! lol It looks odd to me spelled with an "i" instead of a "y." I just can't get over those twin sets. ::sigh::

Ok, the mothers of those twin sets are just plain mean!

Christina and Christiana are absolutely awful. I think it is cruel to give kids such similar names! (Plus, personally I hate all "Christ" names, but that is just me.)

You know what is even more odd? I have actually seen THREE babies (all boys) named Onyx in the last year. Ick.

W/ the second set of twins, I would give them different nicknames, like Tina and Ana.

That was going to be my comment.

And even giving them those nicknames, I don't think I can justify their having such similar names. At least the one-letter difference in the other set of twins actually makes their full names sound a little different. Not much, but a little.

I'm not a fan of Onyx. Those twin sets are a bit much. I know of a twin called Jesslynn and Jazzlynn, Jess and Jazz for short.

I actually like Euphoria lol.
I prefer Onyx for a pet, and Onix for a Pokémon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onix)
I'd be interested to know what Akias and Akimas mean.
Christina and Christiana are ridiculously similar, but I agree with the suggestion of different nicknames.
