[Opinions] Celebrity twins BA
Dominican American actress Dania J. Ramirez and husband, director John Amos Beverly Land (known as Bev Land) welcomed twins named Gaia Jissel Ramirez Land and John Aether Ramirez Land. They join half-brother Kai Miles Land [12]. Dania on the names:Gaia is the Greek goddess of Earth. Aether is the god or personification of the upper air that only the gods can breath, hence the medical term ‘ether,’ adding that they call their son by his middle name. They were actually siblings in Greek mythology. My stepson’s name is Kai, which means ocean, and we wanted to connect them all. So now we have water, earth and air.
John is after my husband. Jissel (pronounced Giselle) is my middle name and I was called that while I lived in the Dominican Republic.” So, they have Gaia, Aether and Kai.Source:

I like Gaia and John. Don't really like Jissel and Aether, but at least Jissel is honoring and Aether goes well with Gaia.

No doubt the next one will be Aodh. Or Fiammetta. How very cosmic of them.

I guess they're going to have another one and name it Inferno or something for fire.
Aether, if it's pronounced ether, is a terrible name. (It is even if it's pronounced differently.) They might as well have named him Chloroform.

I love Gaia. John is OK.
Jissel looks like the Swedish word for a scourge (I had to look that word up...), gissel. I like Giselle, though, pronounced hi-SEL.
I'm not a fan of Kai. Aether is just silly.

Kai and Gaia are nice enough names on their own but in the sibset I feel they're too similar.I like the honoring names of John and Jissel, even if I prefer other spellings.Aether sounds like romanticized slang for inhaled narcotics in a game or book. It doesn't appeal to me at all.

Ah, yes, ether. The best drug ever. I hope to have triplets and I shall name them Ether, Sativa, and Cokelina. Gaia is too big for a human. I know it's being used more than it used to but there are people who still pray to Gaia so I just think it's weird. Jissel < Giselle < Almost any other name.Kai is getting boring. Miles has always been boring.
