My mom is trying to come up with names for the kittens she is adopting and wants famous Biblical or literary brothers. I’ve given her probably 30 pairs that I could think of off the top of my head (and then cheating using the Bible). Anyone want to contribute to the effort? Leave me the suggestions in the comments.
Meditatio
"Though she be but little she is fierce." — William Shakespeare
they’re not brothers, but i love the names rosencrantz and guildenstern (from hamlet and also from the tom stoppard play rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead).
literary threes:
quentin, benjy and jason
atticus, radley, and scout (okay, scout is girl – but it works for a boy)
zooey, seymour, and buddy
Castor and Pollux
Moses and Aaron
Jacob and Esau
Romulus and Remus
Hector and Paris
John Darling and Michael Darling (and Wendy if they ever get a girl)
Peter and Edmund (plus Susan and Lucy for future girls)
Brent and Stuart (Tarleton – Scarlett’s suitors at the beginning of GWTW)
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Boromir and Faramir
Elrond and Elros
Elrohir and Elladan
Agamemnon and Menelaus
George Little and Stuart Little
Other dynamic duos:
Pippin and Merry
Sam and Frodo
Achilles and Patroclos
Pooh and Piglet
well, and Batman and Robin 😉
Joseph & Benjamin
Ephraim & Manasseh
Simon (Peter) & Andrew
James & John
Not brothers, but like brothers: David & Jonathan
Alexander, Anthony, & Nick (from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible…)
fred & barney
andy & barney
batman & robin
magnum & higgins (how’s that for obscure)
richie & fonzie
gomer & goober
holmes & watson
chip & dale
sam & dave
peaches & herb (girl and guy, but still a great combo)
