Lily and Lottie

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]

Two posts in a row? Does that make me a post whore? ::ducks from the blow of the resounding "YES"::

Are Lottie and Lily too similar for nicknames for twin girls? Part of my ideal family is a set of twin girls and thats what I'm planning on while picking out my names. I've kind of set on Charlotte for the youngest of the two because I love the nickname Little Lottie. At the same time, I'm falling in love with Lillian the more I see it, which would be Lily as a NN. The names themselves are different enough that it wouldn't be a problem, and the nicknames would only be a family thing, as I plan on having them go by Lillian and Charlotte with else. But is Lily/Lottie just too much?

I don't think Lily and Charlotte nn Lottie would be problematic as long as "Little Lottie" were allowed to go by Charlotte outside of the home. Otherwise, yes, I would say they are problematic - especially if they are twins, as they're going to get mixed up regardless. As a Charlotte (and a twin) myself, however, I have to say that I find Lottie a rather insipid nickname - personal taste though.

As for planning your life and wanting twins etc. etc., it is easiest to naturally conceive twins later in your fertile period.
