Is this a bad twin name pairing?

Question

Are twin names: Aidan and Nadia too tacky?

Answer 1

i think its cute. even though i dont like the name nadia.

i like doing the same initials or even the reverse initials:

nathan thomas & tess nicole

jared christopher & claire juliet

luke sebastian & lauren samantha

aiden joel & alexis juliet

Answer 2

It's not tacky, per se, but it is a bit kitschy when you explain it. LOL Just don't tell people that they're the same name in reverse!

My only glitch with the name as a "set" is that, other than the spellings, they're really not much to tie them together. Nadia is Russian whereas Aidan is Irish - two totally different worlds! I like both names... I'm just not sure that I'd like them together.

It IS a cute idea, though.

Answer 3

No, I think that's very cool. I had read about someone doing this here last year, and I love the idea.

Better than having names rhyme!

Plus, they are both very classic names.

Answer 4

I don't think it is too tacky as it is not immediately obvious until they are written down.  Tacky would be Lara and Mara.  

Answer 5

I think that's really cool!  Not tacky (and I think everything is tacky!!!).

Now rhyming names are tacky - but I like this!

Answer 6

Haha i like how you did that. But I dont like the name nadia

Answer 7

recently i was in the nail salon getting a pedicure, and this woman had her two kids with her and there names were Talyor and Tyler.... i mean C'MON! i hated that. lol

but anyway i like this. i say go 4 it. good luck hun

Answer 8

I like it.  Its cute.  

Answer 9

Aidan and Nadia most people would not get, and it's cute

Some names in pairs are cute

Sarah and Brandon(princess and prince)

Austin and Savannah(cities)

Andrew and Brianna(A,b)

Alia and Zayden(a an z names)

River and Skylar(nature)

Shane and Janelle(both means god is gracious)

Some are just bad

Justin and Justina

Joseph and Jolee

Hayley and Bailey

Kevin and Devin

Alexander and Allison

Aidan and Nadia is cute, and clever, not tacky

Answer 10

Not tacky at all, I think they're beautiful together. When I first heard of this I was surprised about how nicely they compliment one another.

Answer 11

Very clever! I love both of those names! I dont think it is tacky at all!! Go for it.  

Answer 12

why not?

i liked them  

Answer 13

I think it's great. Not too tacky. Good Luck!

Answer 14

I think that is cute!  

Answer 15

no they sound nice, i get more annoyed with people that names like bob and rob or polly and molly

Answer 16

no, thats a cute idea.  Most ppl wont even catch the spelling of it anyways.  

Answer 17

Typically I dislike when people do this.  However these two don't jump out as being "matchy" so I like it.  Aiden is far too common where I live but I used to like it a lot.

Answer 18

I like it, and it isn't tacky as long as you don't point it out everytime you say it. For example, "Nevaeh-it-is-heaven-backwards" kind of thing.

Answer 19

They're nice names, but I don't like creative twin things.  Yet, I'd say Aidan and Nadia is better that Tammy and Terry or Rowan and Cohen or whatever.  I had to look for a second to notice the issue of the backwards spelling.  If you like the names and you're not just doing it for the effect, go for it.  Otherwise, don't.  Kids aren't punchlines.

Aidan is way popular and Nadia has an ethnic feel, maybe use them as middle names.

ex: Dominic Aidan and Catherine Nadia

or whatever.

or Aidan and an equally trendy female name, like Emma

or Alexei and Nadia

Answer 20

I like it, they don't sound alike so it doesn't make it sound tacky!

Answer 21

I never noticed before that Aidan spelled backwards is Nadia!  I like them for a set of twins, the names go well together (Aidan for a boy, Nadia for a girl).  Although, I'm not a huge fan of the name Nadia, because it sounds so much like naughty- naughty Nadia.

Answer 22

I like it.  Both are actual names, not some contrived tihsllub.

Both names are good strong names as well--not too common or weird either.

Answer 23

I LOVE IT!!! that is very creative....a friend of mine named her baby Aiden and i think its cute and i think the name Nadia is gorgeous!

Answer 24

Haha. thats really clever.

I'm not very keen on the names

But if you like them. then why not!

Answer 25

I wouldn't do it.

Both are beautiful names but there's something cheesy about the fact that they're eachother spelled backwards.

However, these are your children and you get to choose and if you like it, you should do it!  

Answer 26

I think these are adorable names!  I've always loved the name Aidan.

I don't think they sound tacky at all.  They flow very well together, and yet they don't rhyme or sound the same at all.
