I posted a while ago looking for ideas for names for my boy twin. They're here now, six days old. We had a big brainstorming session while they were in NICU overnight and suddenly came up with one that we both adored. It hadn't even been on our radar.

So we have:

Finley Étienne Bélanger-Taylor (nn Finn)
Genevieve Madeleine Bélanger-Taylor (nn Vieve, pronounced "Veev")

who have joined

Alexander Damien Bélanger-Taylor (nn Xander)

in our no-longer-so-little family.

I've always thought Étienne was feminine; you learn something new every day! Anyway, great names you have bestowed upon your children. Genevieve Madeleine is quite nice; I like it!

I must ask, though: there's obviously a French theme going on; why did you choose Genevieve over Geneviève?

We were planning on Geneviève right up to the very end... but then half my family couldn't say it and people find the accent in our surname confusing enough.

Awww... I prefer the French variant over the English myself. Such a lovely name all the same, though. :)
