I was recently thinking how difficult it is for me to come up with names for one child, let alone multiple children. I can't get one name to stick for more than a month or two before deciding that it is awful and needs to be revamped, completely. This lead me to ponder how you name multiples, then. (And here's where our game ties in, eventually.) How would you name a set of twins? Would you just, automatically, use your top two girls or boys names? Is there more of an importance for twins, triplets, or quads, to have similar/different names, rather than if they had been six, three, or ten years apart? (I apologize if this seems like word vomit, I've been awake for over twenty-four hours.)

And now, your task:

In your opinion, the worst names for a b/b, g/g, and b/g set of twins? What about triplets? What about quads? (Can be similar in sound, theme, or just terrible names.)

If you gave birth to twins, triplets, or quads, what would you name them? How would you choose?

my worst name for twins is actually:

Alexander and Alexandra... poor kids. Their middle names didn't help either, Alex (the girl) had the middle name Nicole and Nick (the guy) was... Nicholas.

I don't usually mind same intials but the things is a doctor once explained to me that twins already have a hard time finding their unique self when they are growing up that given them names with th same sound and nearly the same letters also hinge their personal growth as kids... or that's the case with a lot of twins anyway. Same initals tend to be ok though because you can have a name like Christina and then name their twin something far form that like Celia.

As for the others I am usually afan of names with similar meanings but not similar sounds all together.

I guess the one that jump at me are for quads: Luna, Rhiannon, Juno and Chandra. All names are related to the Moon (which is the female symbol in most mithology) and Goddesses

Sorry for the long comment btw >.>
