Can I have a John and Lewis?

[treehugger10]

Please say I can!

[SpotTheDuck]

Um....sorry but no, think of all the times you'd be shouting to them both across the park "John! Lewis!". You'd just sound like a really enthusiastic customer.

[LestatVonGaribaldi]

I would probably laugh if I heard you shout them out in that order at the playground.

[treehugger10]

I could say "Lewis! John!"???

[BernardsarenotalwaysSaints]

You could but your subconscious may not let you

[LestatVonGaribaldi]

You could but you won't.

If you like shop names what about Burton? (Clas)Olsen? Clark? sorry I'm a meany

[QueenMe]

No , sorry.

But that's probably why you like them together......

Convince yourself your lo's are called john and Lewis. Reverse psychology. You'll change your mind

[QueenMe]

Though I have come across a Josh and Rogan

[JenTeale]

No. Bad idea. Sorry

[mumblechum0]

No. Nor can you have a Ben & Jerry, or a Frankie & Benny.

Sorry

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

No!

[ThisPasadenaHomemaker]

No!

Mark and Spencer would be equally bad.

[LestatVonGaribaldi]

No way QueenMe!!!

There was that infamous twin name rejection, Benson and Hedges. I think new Zealand (might be wrong / could be an urban myth)

[QueenMe]

True Lest.

I assumed they didn't eat curry so wasn't aware...

[strawberrypenguin]

Nope sorry. For the same reason I couldn't call DS2 Eliot when we already had a Billy

[Costacoffeeplease]

Oh go on, Mark and spencer definitely

[starsinyourpies]

I also prefer Mark and Spencer.

[treehugger10]

Yeah, probably not going to happen when DS is John... No Mark or Spencer here!

[CakeRattleandRoll]

You could if you emigrate to Australia. No John Lewis here. But probably a bit extreme.

[Costacoffeeplease]

Well go for mark and maybe you'll have a spencer later

[Sophronia]

I went to school with a John-Lewis (about 8 years ago) 😄

[DoYouRememberJustinBobby]

Oh no, terrible ideal.

[QueenOfTheNaps]

Sorry, I don't think you can...

I went to school with an Ernest Jones poor sod

[Gazelda]

If you're Feeling sloaney you could maybe have a Harvey and a Nick?

[NeedABoysName16]

A colleague of mine has a Sam and Ella

How do you manage to name your second child without saying their names together out loud

[MikeUniformMike]

William and Benjamin? John and Edward? Thomas and Jeremy?
