just don't get all weird about it ,you want the children to fit in not be separated cause their names are too strange.good luck.

Reply:I love the name Lucy, but if you have a flower tradition, here are some suggestions:





Susanna and Lily (Susanna means "lily")


Dahlia and Daisy


Liana and Rosaline ("climbing vine" and "beautiful rose")


Aster and Acacia (based on the info you added, I like this best)





The drawback to these names is they all make me think of little English girls. Maybe your twins would prefer something associated with their heritage. I'll research more and get back to you. :)





Names used in Ethiopia:


Abeba -- means "flower"


Ayana -- means "beautiful blossom"


Adey -- means "Ethiopian daisy"


Azmere -- means "harvest"


Bilen -- means "iris"


Lalla -- means "tulip"


Sossina -- means "rose"


Zahera -- means "flower"





I think the names Ayana and Zahera would work really well in the U.S., and they would sound cute for twins.





Here is a link to some East African names. If you give your twins an English-sounding first name, perhaps you could consider one of these as middle names:

Reply:Lynae and Tana and Azaela would be beautiful
Reply:not from your list but I'd suggest:


Tsegereda meaning "rose" %26amp;


Adey meaning "daisy"


If u are not into the flower thing then, I'd suggest:


TANA and ADWA (another historical city in Ethiopia)

Reply:I think Lucy, Aster, Kindred and Acacia are nice but if you wanted matching names for the twins then I would say Aster and Acacia.
Reply:Lucy and Tana are the only ones I even remotely like from that list.
Reply:I like Lucy for a girls name or maybe Lynae but if you are looking for flower names what about:


Daisy


Rose


Rosie


Poppy


Petunia


But it is really up 2 you


Good Luck!
