Opinion on Baby names

So, my turn to post. I've been really worried about finding names- I'm nearing 25 weeks with twin boys. Last night I had this dream that they were both here, lying side by side, and I still didn't have names for them. Here's what we've been looking at, keeping in mind that my husband is Peruvian with strong Incan roots-

Khael Simeon (Simeon was his Dad's name)
Pronounced Ky-El

Now, I like Khian- It's actually gaelic, which is my ancestry. We want to pair it with my Dad's name, which is Thomas, so-

Khian Thomas (Pronounced Key-un)

But hubby doesn't want their names to match, but I kind of do. What thoughts are there about that? I know they are individuals, and I plan on raising them as such. I also wondered about the K spelling- it is too feminine? Khael is an Incan name, and we want to use that, so the K is it. In the "baby name" books Khian is spelled Kian- I added the H to make it look more like Khael. So, what are your thoughts? Too feminine looking? I just worry about it. Thanks for the advice ladies! This is a tough choice- I could name two little girls in a heartbeat, but I really struggle with boy names. We wanted something different, as our daughter's name is very different. Here is what the names would look like-

Khian Thomas Merino

Thanks!

i like them... and it seems like you thought them out for a long time... i have a jayson and will have a jaylyn... so i get the "its the same" and "why dont you let them have thier own names" often as well...ohh well... when its all said and done they are your babies... the names dont match... and sound nothing alike..

I think they are great names but don't get mad when people mispronounce or mispell them.   It just goes with the territory of having an unusual name (my life).

I like the names. I think the KH is nice to be in common cause they're twins but yet the names are different enough so they can be individuals. I don't think they come across feminine either.

Hey .  I like'em too.  Very different.  They will be mispronounced though.   I can see it already.  

Have you thought about giving them the same middle name (father's or grandfather's name or both grand fathers name = Thomas and other name)?  Just a thought.  Good luck.

I love them and I am used to people not saying my childrens names right I like to spell them how I like them and I like names also that not everyone around us has. Nothing against normal names or anything I just love picking names at the time are not common and then making the spellings how I sound them. Drives the MIL crazy but thats just a bonus!!

I like them too, but had absolutely no idea how to say them until you sounded it out for me. So, as long as you are OK that people will mispronounce them, then go for t. Although, I will say you should take into account that your hubby doesn't like the matching names. I totally agree with him on that. I am sure he has some valid points. It's cute when they are young, but may be embarassing when they are older.

BTW, I really like Simeon.

I quite like both and Khian doesn't seem feminine to me at all, but probably because "Ian" (very masculine name) jumps out at me, so to speak.  They don't exactly match... I mean, it's not Molly and Holly or something like that, to me they have different pronunciations so not that close at all.

I love both of them! SO unique!
