[Opinions] Mythological names for boy/girl twins
I'm expecting boy/girl twins and we're having a terrible time coming up with names that match with our older three children.
Ideally they would be:
- From mythology/lengends or astronomical (possibly historical but with some mystery/magic attached). Have a good story (some adventure, strong characters, no rape/incest etc).
- Preferably Indo-European.
- Not popular.
- Not Norse, Greek or Welsh.
- Mostly phonetic, easy to pronounce (for American English), ideally 2-3 syllables with a 1 syllable nickname.
- Not start with F, C/K, H, N or S.
- Have a similiar story/theme for both names but not sound very close (ideally but not necessarily from same source), same first initials maybe.
Impossible? Probably. I know we'll have to give up some points. Any ideas?
