Twin Names: Opposite Meanings

A few weeks ago I wrote a post on twin names with similar names. Today I have a list of names with opposite names. For some reason I found this list to be easier to make. I thought for sure it would be a lot harder.

Girl/Boy Twins

Winona (Firstborn Daughter) and Soner (Last Man)

Wayan (Old, Mature) and Nova (New)

Audra (Storm) and Sunny (Sunny)

Sarah (Princess) and Ryan (Little King) 

Azalea (Dry) and Leith (Wet)

Girl Twins

Soleil (Sun) and Luna (Moon)

Dagny (New Day) and Lilith (Of the Night)

Mara (Bitter) and Dulcie (Sweet) 

Oona (Lamb) and Leona (Lion)

Frida (Peace) and Hedwig (War Battle)

Boy Twins 

Blake (Black) and Finnian (White)

Mortimer (Still Water) and Brantley (Fire) 

Rueben (Son) and Abram (Father) 

Grant (Large) and Paul (Small)

Viggo (War) and Pax (Peace) 

What would you add to the list? What other twin posts would you like to see?

Twin Names: Similar Meaning

Twins can be tricky to name. Do you name with with the same letter? Do you name them in a theme? Do you just pick two names you like? There are so many things to consider! But then again how is naming twins different from naming siblings?

I think the best route to go down if you want to pick names that have a theme is to do a subtle theme to them. One such way to to look at the meanings of names and find 2 names that have the same or similar meanings. I have helped you out and given you 15 sets of names with similar meanings below.

Girl/Boy Twins

Noor (Light) and Abner (My Father is Light)

Emlyn (Around the Valley) and Holden (Deep Valley)

Maris (Of the Sea) and Kai (Sea)

Nina and Ignatius (Fire)

Adia (Valuable Gift) and Neo (Gift)

Girl Twins 

Amalie (Work) and Millicent (Strong Work)

Luna and Selene (Moon)

Tindra and Amaryllis (To Sparkle)

Felicity and Chara (Happiness)

Lumi and Eira (Snow)

Boy Twins

Jonah and Callum (Dove)

Ari and Leon (Lion)

Beaumont (Beautiful Mountain) and Montague (Pointed Mountain)

Asher and Benedict (Blessed)

Conrad (Brave Counsel) and Basil (Brave)

I have more ideas for twin name posts in the future but if you have any ideas leave them below! I would also love to hear your favorites from this list.

"Gift" Names

Hey guys! So today I went to visit a college that is 2 hours from my house. I won’t tell you the name because of privacy reasons. It has been a long day and I am just now getting around to putting a post up (it’s now 8:30). Anyway I am going to do it on baby names that mean gift. I only have 7 girl names and 5 boy names. So let’s get started.

Girls

1. Donatella- Italian; Beautiful gift
2. Keona- Hawaiian; God’s gracious gift
3. Eydie- English; Rich gift
4. Matana- Hebrew; Gift
5. Makana- Hawaiian; Gift
6. Shiloh- Hebrew; His gift
7. Dot- Greek; Gift of God

Boys

1. Jesse- Hebrew; Gift
2. Donato- Italian; A gift
3. Mace- English; Gift of God
4. Matteo- Italian; Gift of God
5. Theodore- Greek; Divine Gift

So that is the list. I’m sorry my blog posts have been short and not very organized. I have been so busy and barely get time to just sit. I am hoping to catch up tomorrow but I can’t promise anything. I hope you liked this and don’t forget to comment. Bye for now :).
