Actually, my neighbors (one Irish, one Greek) named their twins Aiden and Constantine, and so far, so good (they're only 3, though.) They named the blond one Constantine and the brown-haired one Aiden, to further blend the ethnicities. So I'll be looking forward to meeting Patrick and Moishe some day. :-)
RMF -- Yeah, and I realize nobody knows the nationalities of names anymore. I'd still be a bit hesitant.
AMANDA -- I heard a rumor that Bono was going name his next kid iPod, so I figured it was out the window.
TAMAR -- I actually don't hate those names, plenty of other celeb baby names are more ridiculous. I was just reminded that Penn Jillette named his daughter Moxie Crimefighter.
JESS -- Yeah, I was thinking of your family when I said that. Do you think, if your parents had had 15 or 16 more kids, they would have all been Js, too?
You can always go with nicknames once they are born - like with mine, once I realized they were feral children, they are Remus and Romulus. Guess that makes me the she-wolf. . . You can always name the panda iPod when you get that reality show.

ReplyDeleteNoah, why did you give away our top contenders--Other Jason and IPod?
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! How about pull a Brangelina - Vivienne & Knox, anyone?
ReplyDeleteIf only you had mentioned the problem of having three people with the same initial in one family earlier...like, in early 1985...

Oh, definitely. Whenever I see the Duggars on TV, I do a double take--wait, is that us...?
ReplyDeleteSo many similarities!
The best named twins I have ever met are Sassy and Sauci. Sassy is a girl and Sauci is a boy.
