We were thinking of "Deus Ex Machina" for the boy and "Anastrophe Onomatopoeia" for the girl. What do you think? Our surname is Christenson, thank you.
CONSTRUCTIVE comments welcome :)
.Is this set of names appropriate for twins?
Omg! Edit....... No name them
Boy: Comma Quotes
Girl: Nouna Illiteration
I like the idea of having a similar name, that doesn't necesarily scream "literary term," but is kind of like a puzzel.
Deus Xavier Michael Christenson
(Deus X Michael)
I guess.
Or you could have his name be
Deus Xavier Christenson
(Deus X)
And have the literary allusion implied. That way, he can go about life either embrasing his funky name, or not really mentioning it, and it can be a family thing.
As a name alone, I actually really like Deus. I think it's latin enough that people wouldn't necesarily freak out over the "God" thing.
As for Anastrophe Onomatopoeia Christenson
Onomatapoeia is cruel, I think, for a girl. On-o Mot 0 Pee-a. I just think its ugly and a little too silly for her name. Its like you're making a joke out of your child.
With this name she'll constantly be correcting people on pronunciation and spelling, and constantly being asked why her name is so weird. Besides, her name would be 13 syllables. That's a lot, especially for a little kid just learning to speak. There are plenty of other options. Maybe ones that would go along the lines of Deus Ex Machina.
And also, don't forget the names meanings. Deus Ex Machina has a cool meaning, both literally and its literary meanting. Anastrophe Onomotopoeia doesn't.
Good luck.Is this set of names appropriate for twins?
definiton constructive:relating to construction; carefully considered and meant to be helpful
With that being said I think that both names are long and that it would take the children forever to learn to spell their names. They would also have to constantly correcting people for misspellings. There are many literary names that are cute and practical..trust me your children will thank you later.
Well, they are definitely unique names, but theres nothing wrong with that! The only problem with the names is that your children with have a very hard time spelling them, not to mention that they will probably get teased about them too. I would either make the names easier to spell, make up some nice sounding nicknames, or change the names all together. Anyway, good luck with your twins! God Bless!Is this set of names appropriate for twins?
They are your children, but I guarantee you those poor kids will be laughed at no matter what school they attend. Take it from me, the girl who had a "funny name" all during school ...
They're going to hate you for it in a way. Not hate you, but resent the fact that you gave them that name. I don't let my mother have input with my baby's name now that I'm pregnant because I was teased all throughout my childhood because she failed to just think of how other people would react.
Good luck.
Edit: Also, Ashley is not the funny part of my name. It's my middle/last names that are horrible.
I am thinking those names are a mouthful and bound to be pronounced wrong and spelt wrong.
but they are your kids not mine.
Deus reminds me of Dueces.
Anastrophe can at least use Ana for short.
I mean I want to name my sons Helix %26amp; Gauge because their dad is an inspiring piercer and tattoo artist and I love piercings.
He also wants to have his Helix pierced the day our son is born.
So who am I to judge your name choices.
Constructive only - Dues Ex Machina sounds like two machines, he is going to be targeted for life. And Anastrophe Onomatopoeia is going to be and Apostrophe for life. They are bad bad name. I do like the unusual but familiarity of the names however, just not the right choice.
If you're from America that's a big no-no. Your kids will get made fun of. If you're from another country it might be okay, but I don't know.
I say no. That's a bad idea. Go with someone more modern. If you want to name them after authors or someone influential... how about Charles or Mark after Charles Dickens or Mark Twain?
For a girl: Jane after Jane Austen or Emily after Emily Dickenson.
It would be cool if you did Emily and Charles after Dickenson and Dickens!
Your poor kids aren't going to be able to spell their names until they are in high school. You might want to show them a little pity and give them a monacor they can use the rest of their lives. Why not give them a nice sensible first name and go a little crazy with the middle name.
Thats a little extreme...
I'm going to be an English major next year as well, but that's just going over the top and really is not fair to your children.
What about choosing names from your favourite novels? Or the names of your favourite authors?
I normally say call your kids what you want but in this case I have to ask, do you want your children to be bullied and ridiculed in the playground or not? If the answer's no then dont do it. They are truly awful names.
My daughter loves pride %26amp; prejudice, and is naming her daughter Jane after the author.
Do you live somewhere else, not in the US? If you lived in France, that might be okay. But in the US, I'd recommend a name in English.
TX Mom
Maybe the Anastrophe part.
and Ana for short.
But to be honest, i dont really know about those names.
They might be too complicated for the children.
and why would you want to name your child after a poem?
Personally I don't think you should name your kids names that you will have to explain to EVERYBODY. But they are your kids so you should name them what you want.
I think the girl's middle name is more than a bit silly. Every cool-sounding word does not make a good name. (Although it would be sort of the same thing if you used 'Middle Name' as her middle name, wouldn't it?!)
constructive only: Your kids will probably be made fun of for their entire like with those names. Why not something like these
Deus Micheal and Anna Olivia
or
Daniel Thomas and Arabelle Ophelia
I really don't like those names and I think your kids will be teased.
Isn't Deus wat you call going to the bathroom?
Like "I'm gonna take a Deus" or do you pronounce it Day-us?
Lol
id say no, really no, not that they sound horrible, but my friend has a 'different name' similiar to the girls name and she gets a hell of a lot of stick from it
i dont like to criticize but those names along with your surname sound like quite a mouthful. maybe something in the same category but a little shorter.
I sure hope you are joking!
To be constructive:-
Deus Micheal and Anabelle Olivia!!!!
I'm sorry I don't like the names. But it's your child, you need to think of what the children will go through when they start school. Good luck
i think these names are a little too wild. the girl name is too long too. i think kids would get made fun of with these names.
would you like Deus Ex Machina to be YOUR name?
uhuh.
but i like Alex and Anna :)
ya those kids will be made fun of, those are the most ugliest names give them names like Lillian and Ryan those are cute
No.I am sorry.i do not care for those names.
well, they are your babies.. i think the name are too long and confusing, i hope you have nick names picked out for them.. good luck and Congrats...
I'm sorry, but no.
I hope you're kidding.
Way to guarantee your kids a butt kicking every school day.
Umm, no.
