Help[Opinions] Re: Twin Girls: Allison and Eliza
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
It's pretty silly to name a baby after its hair color, since hair color so often changes over time, sometimes very dramatically. My husband was born with dark hair and ended up a blond; one of his sisters had hair so sparse and pale it looked like she didn't have any at all till she was three or four and is now also blond. The other sister had dark hair, turned blond and is now a strawberry blond, closer to red.
Ruby and Rose are both nice names but feel gimmicky if they both have red hair. Matchy-matchy even if they don't.
I like Allison, don't like Eliza. I don't think they really sound that great together. Eliza is too Colonial/revolutionary/plantation to be a fit with Allison. Elizabeth would have worked better, or Alice and Eliza.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

right, a perfect example of this is my cousin Melanie who was born with very dark hair. Later it fell out and it came back in honey blonde. go figure. (I have no idea if that was just a coincidence of her naming or not though, if it was intended that's a little funny)
