Tie broken!
I agree with Yunhua98 - Archeowyrm gives the impression that more thought was put into the boss than just Twin Serpent.

That said, both would look good, IMHO. Just maybe have it with some dragon elements if you use the 2nd one, due to the part that looks a bit like Wyvern. That said, it also looks close to Worm, so maybe it would sound more accurate to other people. As other choice there would be Twin-Snake, but that may be a bit too simple :P

I personally like the sound of Archeowyrm, I've always liked and was fascinated by the Old English terms and such. Just sounds cool to me :) And it gives some break from so many of generic names. Also, Archeowyrm just sounds really powerful and boss-like, while Twin-Serpent sounds more like a monster that might just pop out from the random water or something.
Just my thought tho, and it's mostly your choice, Zera

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Well, if its set in older times, with swords and stuff, then I think archeowyrm sounds better.
If its more modern, then go with Twin-Serpent.

It seems less tied now. I think people are more heading towards Archeowyrm

I ended up voting for "Archeowyrm" as the name. I like it. Truth be told, that name is already in-place and the only thing that stands between me and changing it back would be looking for the name.

That said, I can go on and blurb about useless stuff: File ESoR\p1\enm-name.z80 merged with ESoR\p4\names.z80 , former file deleted, and code updated to supply correct pointers to data. Verified to function correctly.
