Hi,

So at 2am we my brother and his wife welcomed their twin babies, boy & a girl into the world.

The little Girls name is Aaliyah and the Little Boys name is Rylan.


Family members ALL have their opinions - One hates Rylan, the other thinks Aaliyah and Rylan is too made up and like its not complete names.....


Me?

I quite like it. DH & I loved the name Ryan - but since Dh's nephew was already named that I would never do that (even DHs parents named him Steven after his first cousin was named Steven - Oh and also Dhs sis is Gina, & their cousin Steven's sister is also Gina - very very weird a bit like on my big fat greek wedding where heaps of guyz name was Nick or Nicholas lol).



Anyhow what do u think??


Only thing is my 7month old bub is Natalia - and she gets called 'Talia' by everyone especially the young cousins and already when u say the new bubs name is Aaliyah - My daughter and the cousins say 'what Talia?'.....all confused lol but that will pass.

Congrats on the safe arrival of your twins ! How great to be an Aunty.

As for their names, not my style but who cares, I'm sure they are adorable.

Congtatulations! Their names are NMS but I still like them. I would have thought Aaliyah was pronounced 'ah-LEE-ah'?

How awesome!!
I wish my sister would have twins!!

I like the names, especially Rylan, I personally wouldn't use Aaliyah but its not a bad name.

I don't find Natalia / Tahlia and Aaliyah similar at all.

Not too sure the point of your post? Just to get opinions on the names? Or see if Aaliyah and Tahlia are similar?


ETA - I pronounce Aaliyah ah-lie-ah, like the singer.

Rylan I have only heard for as a girls name, but then again I think it might be a new trendy take on Ryan???

not my style either, but congrats on the safe arrivals

Congrats one their safe arrival.

Names are NMS, but there isn't anything wrong with them either.

They aren't too bad. Congrats on your new neice & nephew!

dislike both names (not my style)

congratulations

NMS either but a huge congrats!!

There is an Aaliyah at my DD's dancing school. Pretty name.

Prefer Ryan to Rylan, but it's not too bad.

Hope the babies are doing well.

I like Aaliyah as a name. It's not made up. It's just not English. It's got a pretty thorough Hebrew/Arabic background.

Rylan, on the other hand, is NMS. Can't please everyone.

Congrats on the twins.

I really don't like either name but they are perfectly matched IMO.

I have only heard of Rylan being a girls name but these days anything happens I guess!!

Not a fan of either but congrats on becoming an Aunty

The names are NMS but congratulations, great day for your family!

i do know a boy Rylan ...sounds like a kind drug to me...

Awwww twin boy and girl, how adorable

i adore your DD's name - Natalie is gorgeous.

As for your neice and nephews name - hmmm not so much..

Congrats on becoming an aunt

I dislike both names.

but congrats to you and your family, lovely to have a niece and nephew at the same time

I am not a fan of the names - But congratulations on the new family members

I love both names, congratulations.

Those names aren't my style at all but congratulations on the new members of your family-I bet they are just adorable

Not a fan of either name but I'm sure they're very cute bubbas! Congrats
