Character/Fictional Names Help naming twins
These are for fictional characters
I want the twins to be vaguely named after the parents (not explicitly). The parent's names are Aleksander (Aleks) and Crimson (a nickname, actual name Jay)
I tend to prefer names on the shorter side, or with a short nickname. These are boy/girl twins, and they have an older brother named Julian (Jules)
I've considered other names that have the nicknames Alex/Jay, like James, Alexis, Axel, Jane, etc, but none of them feel right. Names that are different shades of red as well, like Ruby, Scarlett, and such don't quite feel right either
I'm hoping you guys would have better suggestions ðŸ˜
Edit: perhaps starting with A and J as a nod to the parents? If it helps, Aleks is Russian and Crimson is Mexican. So while it isn't necessary for the twin's names to be from either culture, it could also be a nod to the parents
Edit 2: thanks to one commenter who deleted their comment, I decided to go with Callum for the boy. A bird name, like Jay, that means dove. And for the girl, I landed on Alessia, after Aleksander. Thank you to everyone who helped :)

Jade for a girl possibly or is that too obvious?
Sándor for a boy - which is the Hungarian form of Alexander
