Finding a name for one baby can be a challenge, but what about two at once? Should you find a pair of names that “match” in some way, with common sounds or themes? Or should you look for names that are completely different and emphasize individuality?

Need some help? A good starting place is the Social Security Baby Name Index. The SSBNI publishes the top 1000 baby boy and baby girl names every year—and it publishes a list of the top twins’ names for girl-girl, boy-boy, and girl-boy twins.

Top Girl-Girl Twin names in 2010

Expecting a set of little girls? The SSBNI Index publishes the top 50 most common choices made for girl-girl twins in 2010. Here are the 20 most common choices:

Ella, EmmaOlivia, SophiaGabriella, IsabellaFaith, HopeAva, EmmaIsabella, SophiaMadison, MorganAva, EllaAva, OliviaMackenzie, MadisonAbigail, IsabellaAbigail, EmmaHailey, HannahMakayla, MakenzieAddison, AveryElizabeth, EmilyAva, MiaHeaven, NevaehAbigail, EmilyEmma, Olivia

As you can see, most of the names on this list are simply pairs of the names that are most common for girls right now—like Isabella, Olivia, Ella, Emma, Emily, Abigail, Mia, Ava, and Madison. Parents seem to pair up common names that are of similar length (Emma and Ella, Mia and Ava) and that have the same number of syllables (Abigail and Emily, Gabriella and Isabella).

Of course, a common twin naming trend is to give twins the same first initial. That’s reflected in the Top 20 list here with Ella and Emma, Madison and Morgan, Addison and Avery, Elizabeth and Emily, and Hailey and Hannah. Other first name-same pairs in the Top 50 include Chloe and Claire (#22), Kayla and Kylie (#44), Paige and Payton (#48), and Valentina and Valeria (#50).

The 1950s style rhyming trend seems to be out; the only rhyming pair that made it to the top 50 is Chloe and Zoe, at #29. Themes aren’t big either, with the exception of Faith and Hope (#3), London and Paris (#21), and the newly trendy Nevaeh and Heaven (#16). Nevaeh, if you haven’t heard, is “heaven” spelled backwards.

Top Boy-Boy Twin names in 2010

The SSBI also publishes a list of the top 50 choices for boy-boy twins. Here are the top 20 choices.

Jacob, JoshuaEthan, EvanJayden, JordanDaniel, DavidMatthew, MichaelLandon, LoganElijah, IsaiahJacob, JosephJayden, JaylenIsaac, IsaiahCaleb, JoshuaAndrew, MichaelJames, JohnAlexander, NicholasJeremiah, JosiahJoseph, JoshuaNathan, NicholasJonathan, JoshuaLogan, LucasEthan, Nathan

There's a big difference between the top female twin names and the top male names: by far, the majority of top boy-boy pairs have the same first letter. In the top 10, all but one of the top choices (Elijah and Isaiah) were frst letter pairs, and in the top 50, 30 of the top pairs had the same letter. More unusal same letter male pairs include Brandon and Bryan (#30), Santiago and Sebastian (#44), and Carter and Cooper (#48). As for the rhyming trend, the only example in the top 50 for boys is Jayden and Kayden at #35.

Top Girl-Boy Twin Names in 2010

Looking for a pair of names for one little girl and one little boy? Here are the top 20 choices from 2010.

Madison, MasonEmma, EthanTaylor, TylerMadison, MichaelJayda, JaydenMadison, MatthewSophia, SamuelAddison, AidenOlivia, OwenZoe, ZacharyAddison, JacksonAva, AidenEmily, EthanEmma, RyanIsabella, IsaacNatalie, NathanAbigail, BenjaminEmma, AndrewIsabella, IsaiahJada and Jaden

The same letter trend was also very common for boy-girl twins. In fact, all 10 of the top 10 pairs began with the same letter, and 29 of the top 50 names shared the same letter.

Another popular boy-girl twin naming trend is to give twins male-female versions of the same names -- or names that sound like male-female versions of the same names. In the top 20, the examples of this were Taylor and Tyler, Jayda and Jayden, and (similarly) Jada and Jaden. Other examples in the top 50 include Brian and Brianna (#21), Michael and Michelle (#27), Oliver and Olivia (# 41), and Jayla and Jaylen (#49).

If you're tasked with finding two names for new babies, hopefully these popular choices will give you a good starting place. Whether you go with popular trends or seek something more unique, best of luck.

, , , The Story of Makaveli

The name makaveli is much known throughout the urban community and hip hop community. The makaveli name carries the pride and honor of the one of the largest personal legacies of any music artist in the history of music, Tupac Shakur.

The name makaveli is only one of the many stage names that Tupac carries with him, but among his entire stage names, the makaveli is the most famous of all. Tupac started to call himself makaveli when he was bailed out of jail by the CEO of Death Row records, Suge Knight.

While incarcerated in Clinton Correctional Facility, Shakur read and studied Niccolò Machiavelli and other published works, which inspired his pseudonym "makaveli" under which he released the record album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.

Even after his death, the name makaveli still rings in our ears because of the legacy that makaveli left after his death. The name makaveli can also be seen on one of his mother's fashion clothing line, the makaveli branded clothing. The makaveli banded clothing line was founded to preserve the legacy of Tupac.
But other than the makaveli branded clothing line, his mother also founded the Shakur Family Foundation (later re-named the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation or TASF) in 1997. The TASF's stated mission is to "provide training and support for students who aspire to enhance their creative talents." The TASF sponsors essay contests, charity events, a performing arts day camp for teenagers and undergraduate scholarships.

The Foundation for makaveli officially opened the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA) in Stone Mountain, Georgia, on June 11, 2005. On November 14, 2003, a documentary about Shakur entitled Tupac: Resurrection was released under the supervision of his mother and narrated entirely in his voice.

Even if makaveli has passed away for more than eleven years now, we could still feel his presence through his makaveli branded clothing line and his foundations. If you want more information regarding the makaveli branded clothing line, then visit www.streetzwear.com.

Instead of boasting take your cues from her conversation. - Hysterical Bertha

If you want that skirt, you have to know how to flirt! Subtlety is king. An ill-timed remark or crude innuendo will puncture your repartee faster than a fork in a soufflé. A successful flirt lives in the moment and takes his cue from the flirtee. He has no need to boast about his accomplishments or possessions. Rather, he uses her conversation as a reference point and establishes a rapport. She feels so familiar with him she opens up like a tulip in the spring.

One way to get her to feel comfortable with you is to mirror her movements and match her breathing. Don't do it to the point of being creepy, but enough to give a sense that your bodies are in sync. Doing the same thing is a powerful bonding agent. According to neuro linguistic programming, people are visual, auditory or tactile. Visual people say: “I see what you mean.” Auditory people say: “I hear what you’re saying”. Tactile people say; “That feels right”. Determine which type you’re dealing with and match your speech and behavior patterns accordingly.

If you fancy a woman, stick around long enough for her to know you're serious, but not so long she starts to wonder whether you've thrown your back out. Then pluck the cherry out of her Pimms cocktail, drop your voice two octaves and ask in your smoothest baritone: “Were you going to eat this, or may I?” If she's not drinking a Pimms, you'll have to improvise.

Here are a few more ideas:

Maintain eye contact

Look at her for three seconds and smile as though you are sharing a private joke. Hold the contact just long enough to give her time to respond. A blatant stare will make you look crazed. If her pupils expand when she returns your gaze, you're winning.

Check out the space between you

The more she likes you the more she’ll let you into her personal space. Move in a little closer to her. If she backs away, she’s a no-go zone and you still have work to do.

The accidental toucher

Once you've established eye contact and the body language is welcoming, you can move on to "accidental" touching. Casually brush up against her and maintain contact for longer than strictly required. The inference is far more erotic than the actual touch, so it would be wrong to grapple at any part of her anatomy. Don't prolong the contact beyond what feels natural for the situation.

The purposeful toucher

The best touches are not sexual but suggest possibility. For example, if the conversation is going well, you might run a hand lightly down her upper back. If she doesn’t move away, she’s interested. Enjoy the tease. Keep it light Stop the motion just long enough to let her know she can move away. No woman likes a too-firm hand clamped on her shoulder.

Make her laugh

Women love a sense of humor. A little grin or wisecrack tells us you're playful, easygoing, and secure. Dark brooding Heathcliff types are so passé. No one likes a misery guts. Making her laugh is the best way to develop an affinity with her. Tease her by telling her she’s bossy, cheeky or saucy, but you’re never allowed to call her loud, aggressive or ugly.

Dress the part

If you want an elegant woman, look elegant. A girl who likes hiking and dirt biking will accept more casual attire. Mix and match. Wear jeans and a casual shirt one day, then try a sharp suit and see how women respond to you.

Practice

Today you have to get at least one woman’s telephone number. Clear your mind, take a deep breath – pretend you’re an actor – walk up to her and say: “Hi. I’m rushing to meet some friends but I know I will kick myself all day if I don’t do this. I think you’re gorgeous. Can I have your telephone number?”

Feel free to deviate from the script a little but persevere. If she rejects you, you have to do it again and again. Go on, have fun with it! You’ll amaze yourself at the results.

Casanova always persisted until he got what he wanted. Persistence can make a girl feel like a princess. Just don’t make a nuisance of yourself. Make your interest clear, but not so clear she is forced to take out a restraining order against you.

Once you have her phone number, send her an SMS: “Hey Gorgeous ... feel like some curry? I'm not usually that big on chili but there is this new place that I’d like to check out. If things get too hot you can always hose me down later. LOL.”

Then let her respond to that and let you know when she’s free …

Women's Necklaces and Men's WatchesLadies, You Deserve a Bonus! Suite101.com

Most women prefer to wear necklaces, wealthy woman who frequented jewelry store, is to find your favorite necklace. Feelings of pure gold that will last forever; agate that rich and elegant; diamonds that will be strong. All in all, women have a thousand reasons to buy into the jewelry store necklace.

Many men like to wear watches, in fact, this is not the man to see how important the time, but the man to watch as their status symbol. Because men generally do not like a woman free to wear and a ring associated, nor too much modification in the face on their own, even the "wealthy" man will not "money" hanging in his waist, so the man likes to watch shows on their own.

Maybe the women are too concerned about their image, and for the use of necklace almost to the extreme level, For the interpretation of men who are willing to watch a woman can not wear a necklace, a deep understanding of, many women think men wearing the watch is to "was a blessing", they are often of what a man wearing a best men's watches which a man wearing a Swiss watch "really boring"; even if they would simply ask a man to wear a watch price worth? Have a career it is easy to wear men's watch because the watch is a part of their life and work. They are generally complying with the time, to comply with the time as an important aspect of their approach to work, so there are business men to watch There are those who will be the cultivation of a strong man to watch the use of vivid, in time with a woman, no matter how much a woman of their romance, they need to leave the woman and they will explain their ideas using the watch, they will inadvertently see of a watch, and then natural to himself to say "time off really fast!" which means that they have to retreat.

With the narcissism woman necklace, men will still watch all the time to find their own, but do not put myself in any watches for men to fasten the woman's necklace. Men have their own world, they would not be a woman too much attention to the necklace, the time to cancel their attention. So the wise woman will not spend in the necklace of the world their feelings, because men do not have the necklace, "brilliant" to focus on in you. Men valued a woman's noble sentiments and deep feelings, rather than a woman with a gorgeous necklace shines out appearance.

How many women would like to converge on the desire and pursuit of necklaces, men are still willing to walk in wearing at the time of their own watch, because both men and women, good quality in a real spent every day is the most important.

A mummy bonus activity - cake making! - ES Gray

As a former career woman who was used to the reward and remuneration culture of the professional world I have spent most of my adult life working to fulfill a set of criteria. These were usually laid down by the people at the top of the organisation and would qualify you for financial rewards or career advancement. But now I find myself operating in a rather different world! Like many women with a degree and successful career behind them, I now find myself in a remarkably similar position to my mother, looking after my family and home. That is not somewhere I ever imagined I would find myself.

As I battle with the weekly laundry mountain and plough through bills and letters from the tax office, I frequently ask myself, "How did this happen?" Then I remind myself that our life is significantly less manic than when we both worked full time, juggled the childcare with business trips and driving through volumes of traffic. I’m very relieved we do not live like that anymore. However in order to ensure my efforts to keep the children clothed and bathed, the bills paid on time and the house from disappearing under a carpet of cat hairs are appreciated, I remind my husband regularly how lucky he is not to have to worry about such domestic things.

This leads to further deliberations regarding “performance related bonuses” for general housework, household administration and childcare duties! The fact remains that most women, working in or outside the home, do a large amount of the caring, cleaning and clearing up. When I chat to friends I find invariably they have taken up a variety of roles in addition to their “day job” in order to keep their home life going - social secretary, financial controller, animal care and control etc. Since those working for organisations with performance assessments and related pay perks/bonuses etc are getting rewarded for good work I think its time we got in on the action for our oft-ignored contributions to a greater quality of life for our partners, friends and families.

So I propose a bonus scheme for our unrecognised efforts, but the beauty of this scheme is that it will be designed and managed by us! I am setting out a new range of performance indicators that can be rewarded by the things that keep you sane, relaxed and in touch with what matters to you. My rewards come in the form of nights out with the girls or nights in with a good DVD and a bottle of wine. A yoga class, a trip to the hairdressers or some retail therapy can all be included in the “bonus package” plus the essential one for all mothers - time spent with other mums to enable adult conversation to take place while the kids entertain each other.

My friends regularly provide several of those rewards for me. The monthly coffee mornings I attend are a great way to catch up with other women who are in a similar situation. Girls' nights out are another way to keep up with my friends who are not free during the day, plus you can have a conversation without being interrupted to change a nappy. Finally, the life saver for those of us with under 5s, the mums and tots group where we gather with our “little angels” and let them entertain one another while catching up with other mummies and trading sanity tips for life with small people in the house.

There are a range of other activities I aspire to add to my regular list of “bonus scheme” outings once both my little darlings are safely tucked away at school during the week. A reading group (I can dream of having time to read!) or craft group are on my list of performance related rewards - once I’ve found out how to find that 25th hour in everyday! So ladies, when the pile of paperwork is making your heart sink or the washing seems never-ending, make sure you check your diary and find time to do something for yourself. Because you’re worth it!
