Crighton and Neeley. I'm not so sure how to spell them, but I know that Crighton is the boy and Neeley the girl. I was so excited to see little twin babies, but when I found out their names, I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. What do you guys think?

mmm.... N/G in my book. Crighton, isn't that the last name of an author? I dont' know, it just seems too much like giving homage to an author or something. Or trying to be different-- like, instead of using Brighton, like the son on the show The Nanny, they just used Crighton instead. I just don't like it.


As far as Neeley goes.... well, it sounds kind of cute, but I find it good only as a nn. And also, I have a strong association with it that pegs it as a BOYS nn, even though it sounds a little girly...see, one of the characters in the book A Tree Grown in Brooklyn is called Neeley-- his first name was actually Cornelius.


So, it's safe to say that these certainly aren't my favorites. Neeley is cute, but only as a nn. *shrugs*

I have to agree with you. Both names are not my favorites, or even close to it. I feel sorry for those kids!

I'm not sure, but it brought Halloween to mind. Frighten and Squealy maybe?

At least they are equally bad so one twin doesn't suffer alone.
