Are these names legit?

My neighbor just had twin girls and she named them Olivianna and Emmeliena. They are nice names, in my opinion, but I have never heard of them anywhere else. She said she got them from a dream she had about her daughters, before she even knew she was having twins or girls, so she stuck with the names, because she felt it was her daughters way of naming themselves. Anyway, what do you guys think??

Olivianna simply appears to be Olivia and Anna smushed together, so "legit" to the extent that either is a valid name separately. ;)


Emmeliena just looks like a garbled, over-complicated version of Emelina (which IS a real name) ... but that's assuming the pronunciation, of course.

I have a baby name book that's about 20 years old that lists Olivianna as an alternate form of Olivia.

how special for your nieghbor and her twin girls! if i had a dream like that, i would stay true too. what a special story they will have all their lives!!!

..i've had a dream about my first son's name, Seth..and looking up meaning is Appointed, Chosen. i cant be negligant about not giving him, Seth. i never ever considered, Seth before. oh and, we arent pg yet, thinking another year or so..
and also, one of my best friend's son's is Seth, but she's had these type of dreams too, so she's onboard with me too, no worries of name stealing.

I have a friend who had an imaginary friend named Wah-Tin when she was a little girl.
