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?

My grandmother was a twin. She was Ada and her twin sister was Ida. I think that's bad.

If I had multiples, I'd probably name them as though I had them separately. Obviously I wouldn't use names that were too similar, but then I wouldn't use names that were too similar if I had my children separately, either. I dislike it when people name twins/triplets/however many as though they are a set rather than individuals.

So I'd name them:

Girl/girl twins: Isadora Claire and Eve Shiloh
Boy/girl twins: Felix Grey and Isadora Claire
Boy/boy twins: Felix Grey and James Dietrich/James Vincent

Also, I'm likely to have twins, so I think about it a lot, haha.
