[Opinions] Re: Twin Girls: Allison and Eliza
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I used to find Allison very dull, but a few years ago I met a very nice, older Alison, and then I read a great book written in the 1950s with a character called Allison, so that really lifted the name's value for me. I think I prefer the spelling to be either Alison or Allyson, but that's just me being picky.
If I think of Allison in the medieval sort of sense, it works well with Eliza (although I'm not sure Eliza was used in the middle ages, it just has that antiquated patina to it). I kinda wish it was Elissa, but I also kinda like how they have their own distinct energy. Ruby and Rose would be pretty twee on twins, if they are together (like "these are my children, Ruby and Rose"). If they are separate it's totally fine. I do love both names too!

oh I think I disagree there. I think Allison and Elissa would be too similar then. Almost Allison and Alyssa which is in the Too Matchy territory. Agree on your thoughts of Ruby and Rose exactly. I also appreciate that Allison and Eliza have their own unique energy.
