What's in a Name? | Twins! — A Bookish Sarah

At long last, another twin post!! Oddly enough, I cannot find the first one. . . Well, I did find it, sorta, but it said the page "does not exist." O_O WHAT? Oh dear, oh dear, tut tut. I don't know what happened, but I don't like it. I don't even remember which names I used for that one!! AGH. Do any of you happen to have a better memory than mine? If so, I'll gladly re-create that post. . .
But in the meantime, enjoy these!

I don't think I ever remember seeing a twins post before, but this is a fantastic idea! I love the pictures of the twins and the equally sounding names. :)
And if you're interested, I tagged you for the Liebster Award!

These are great! I remember that first twins post, but unfortunately, I can't recall the names you used... I'm pretty sure you used the names of the twins in those Frank Peretti books, the Veritas Project or something, right?

By the way, not sure if I've mentioned it already, but I love the new blog design! So pretty! <3

Katie Grace: Yes! they sure are. Exactly! It's a great way to learn more about meh blogger friends. :]

Tracey: Thanks, girlie! And you're brilliant! I do remember doing the Elijah/Elisha combo... But I can't remember the other... Thank you, dearie. I LOVE my new design.

These are both adorable! You come up with the greatest names.

I'm so sad your other twins post disappeared. D: I definitely remember you doing it, but my memory doesn't go much farther than that. Sometimes I wonder why I even have a memory, it doesn't work very hard for me. XD So, sadly, I can't remember what names you had on there. I wish I did!

So am I! :[ Ah well. I'm glad you all remember. Haha, exactly! Same with me! When someone asks what your favorite song/movie/book is and you have all these favorites, but when they voice the question ALL of those just... disappear... So frustrating!

Thanks for commenting, dearie!!
