My Name Is??


We are having the hardest time coming up with a second name for one of the twins. 
We know that one of them will be named after Ray. His real name is Leimoni which is Raymond in Tongan. Family and  close friends call him  Moni. We knew that if one of the twins were a boy we would be naming him baby Moni- we didn't think we would have to come up with TWO boy names though :)

Boy names are SO hard. Let alone boy names for twins. We've gone over a gazillion names out there, but nothing sticks out to us.. well, nothing sticks out to Ray I should say. He wants the twins to be named Moni and Ray. We have debated and debated over this because, well it's the same name. lol. He thinks one of the twins will feel left out if one is named after him and one isn't. He's funny...

I have 2 names that I really like... Noah and Elia (Eh-Lee-Uh)
Noah means rest; comfort
Elia is the Samoan translation of Elijah which means 'the Lord is my God'

I think Moni and Noah and Moni and Elia go well together.. I'm really leaning towards Noah though, just because Baby A has always been my calm baby in the womb at every ultrasound and just lays there and I love the name. 

We are up for suggestions though for a second boy name! :)
What are some of your suggestions??

ooooh... that's a hard one. I like Noah & Elia too but I'm kinda leaning the same direction as Ray. I would hate for one to feel left out. Just curious... what's the samoan translation for Raymond??

That's actually not a bad idea. Reminds me of George Foreman -- aren't all his boys named George?

Noah is cute. My second sons' name is Nohea - Hawaiian but we pronounce it in Tongan (if that makes any sense)....anyhow, the palangi's want to pronounce and call him Noah. Lol.

Oh and which do I like -- I like Ray's idea.

Hey I know, just so that one doesn't feel left out....Name one after you and one after him....My kids gave these ideas Kasey, Kassious, Kassidy, Kash, sieA Aja said pronounced (See-Ah), Kass, Sea, Seamus. Just sayin', LOL! Good Luck. You know I have all my kids with "K" names all because Kev said to me when I was pregnant with baby #2 you have to have a "K" name or the baby will feel left out. Now I feel like all the baby "K" names that were good for us, I used. Now I am stuck. If any more babes come our way I have no clue what to name them! Good Luck :)
