Question, and a game.

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

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?

I'd use my top names, provided they sounded nice together and weren't the same (i.e. Julian and Juliana). I don't see why naming multiples is any different than naming single children. Some people who think that just because you give birth to them at once, it means they're a set and should have matchy-matchy names.

Worst would be rhyming (Arlene and Carlene, Ayden and Jayden) or a very obvious theme (Rose, Lily and Ivy). Famous couples would be bad too (Bonnie and Clyde or Adolph and Eva).

Names I'd use for twins/triplets or quads:
Madeline Amelia
Elizabeth Audrey
Benjamin Colin
Theodore Josiah
