Need middle name ideas, please!!
| Sun, 09-05-2004 - 8:49pm |
My sister is having twin boys. She and her dh already have the first names picked out. They want to name their boys Cedar and Dusk. They absolutely LOVE unusual, weird names. I know many of you will not like those names but people have already tried to discourage them from using Cedar and Dusk. My sister and her dh have made up their minds. So, moving on, does anyone have any ideas for middle names? They do not have to start with the same letter. Thanks!

Continuing with the unique name theme...
Cedar Kai and Dusk Jax
Cedar Davin and Dusk Lane
Cedar Zane and Dusk Gage
Cedar Liam and Dusk Cade
Cedar Paxon and Dusk Corbin
More traditional....
Cedar Micah and Dusk Evan
Cedar Anthony and Dusk Mason
Cedar Michael and Dusk James
Cedar Isaac and Dusk Noah
Cedar Lucas and Dusk Owen
Cedar should have a strong middle name to go with his woody, earthy first name. Then again, you have to be careful: he could come out sounding like a lumberjack (ex. Cedar Jack, Cedar Ben). It should be more than two syllables; otherwise, it WILL sound corny and cheesy. How about Benjamin, or Cameron, or maybe even Xavier. That will take the edge off a "splintery" name.
Dusk is a little easier. Though I still think I'm stuck in a bad episode of Knots Landing or The Bold and the Beautiful, we should still come up with some ideas to take the hippie out of these names here. Dusk Dakota, though a little alliterative, is kinda okay. Dusk William, Dusk Donovan, Dusk Alexander could also work. It should be something that is a little rhythmic, as well as serviceable; otherwise, it could cause this kid YEARS of teasing and therapy. This is the reason I like Dusk Dakota. I know, I know, I'm leaning to the Fabio-fantasy these names incite, but it's better than Dusk Oceanica or whatever other crazy Greenpeace moniker your sister could have in mind!
Well, if it is of any consolation, at least they'll have each other to beat up the other kids who make fun of them. And who knows? Maybe when they are older, these names will lead them to exciting new lives as CK underwear model twins! Hey, it could happen!
Cedar and Dusk are kind of out there. But I don't think that necessarily implies any particular characteristics of your sis and her DH. I certainly don't think these names mean they are hippies or in Greenpeace. Though if they are that isn't a bad thing. To each their own!
I actually kind of like Cedar a little bit, LOL!
And how do you know these boys are going to be teased their whole life? Maybe the other kids will think Cedar and Dusk have "cool" names. I have a neice named Evergreen, and the kids at school actually compliment her for it. Not once have I seen her come home from school in tears because kids teased her about her name.
What I'm saying is, maybe you should watch what you say and be a little more open-minded.
By the way, the_moth, I think Cedar and Dusk are neat names, although I do not have any middle name ideas.. yet. :)
Best of luck to your sister and her dh!
