Aurora and twin names...

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

So, I've been thinking about the name Aurora recently, and I've decided that I like it. What do you guys think? The only thing that I don't like is that she could potentially be called Rory, which I hate.

Also, the post on twins got me thinking - how do y'all feel about matchy-type names for twins? Twins run in my family, so I think about this quite often. Personally, rhyming names (for twins or siblings) disgust me (my grandmother tried to name her children Penelope and Dennis so that she could have a Penny and a Denny, but my grandfather thwarted that plan by changing Penelope to Christine when he filled out her birth certificate), but I kind of like alliterating names - my dad and his twin both have names that begin with M. Some of the "logical" names featured on Behind the Name are kind of cool, too.

Anyway, thoughts? And, just for fun, some of my favorite match-y combos are:

Aidan & Anna
Brendan & Sarah [Irish for "prince" and Hebrew for "princess"]
Ethan & Emily
Luke & Lola
Roderick & Ruby

Carina & Lyra [constellations]

I really like matching names when they match in meaning. I wouldn't give my children alliterating names, if I had twins, but it doesn't bother me all that much. What I absolutely cannot stand are rhyming names, or super similar names, like Deanne & Dionne.
