Off the top of my head, I think that Nerdanel eventually named the fated twin Umbarto.
When Feanor asked her if she'd meant to say Ambarto, she basically shrugged and said 'whatever'. By this point I get the impression that she knew her family was headed for disaster.

One thing that really caught my eye about Nerdanel was the fact that she did not possess the beauty that nearly every other female Elf is noted to possess. In fact, somewhere within the 'Laws and Customs of the Eldar', there was a line that went something like this:
"And many people wondered at Feanor's choice, for Nerdanel was not accounted among the fairest of their kind."
While this may not reveal a great deal about our auburn-tressed lady, this may reveal something about Elves in general, that perhaps some can be as shallow as the general Hollywood crowd of today.

By cololary, it also says something about Feanor; that he was able to see beyond the veneer of physical beauty. Nerdanel's mind, spirit and personality were more imporant to him than her appearance.

Finarfin!
*Little rainbow parade passes... OSA members look on with confusion* |
I wouldn't make that accusation too quickly, BB. Both Fingolfin and Feanor's wives chose to remain in Valinor. It would seem logical that they would stay with their brother-in-law.
Just what were they doing there all of those ages?
Maybe Finarfin had a royal harem?
