I don’t do “help me name my baby” questions around here, except to suggest that you pick a saint’s name, spell it normally, and go for it.
That said, I would like to see a new trend back to some solid, serious meat and potatoes names and away from the frothy nothings so common now.
To that end, here are two entries from today’s page of the 2005 Martyrologium Romanum for your edification and Latin skills.
1. Caesareae in Palestina, sanctorum Marini, militis, et Asterii, senatoris, martyrum sub Gallieno imperatore; quorum prior, ab invido commilitone quod christianus delatus, coram iudice fidem suam voce clarissima professus est et coronam martyrii capitis abscissione suscepit; cum Asterius corpus martyris, qua induebatur veste substrata, exciperet honorem, quem martyri detulit, continuo ipse martyr accepisse narratur.
And…
8. Confugiae in Hassia, sanctae Cunegundis, quae plurima Ecclesiae contulit beneficia una cum coniuge sancto Henrico imperatore, post cuius mortem in claustro monialis, quo secesserat, Christum sibi heredem faciens, ipsa obiit. Corpus eius honorifice iuxta sancti Henrici ossa Bambergae depositum est.
We need more kids named Asterius and Cunegonda!
I would also suggest Nunilio and Alodia for twin girls.
