Congratulations!

I love most of your names but would choose Felicia or Maria from your girls list and Quentin from your boys list. Lovely names Smile.

fairieswearboots · 13/06/2011 21:53

Congratulations :) How lovely.

From your list my choices would be
Christina Kirri Alice and Michael Eti Alden

How about
Lara Kirri Alice and Dominic Eti Alden

rachel234 · 13/06/2011 21:54

I like Christina, Felicia and Maria very much, as well as Alisdair and Quentin - they're all beautiful classic names that aren't overused and go well with your other childrens' names.

evamummy · 13/06/2011 22:00

Wow, you'll be busy Smile, congratulations!

I think with your existing children's names these sound very good imo
Christina (Christy)Kirri Alice
Mariana Lani Alice
Andrew (Andy) Eti Alden
Quentin (Quinn) Hemi Alden

I would avoid Thomas and Oscar because if you're worried about popularity because these are much more common than the others (certainly round here).

poppydaisy · 13/06/2011 22:14

Congratulations! These would be my favourites:

Christina Lani Alice
Felicia Lani Alice
Maria Lani Alice
Natalia Kirri Alice

Alisdair Eti Alden
Andrew Eti Alden
Michael Hemi Alden
Quentin/Quinn Hemi Alden

My favourites from your list are Maria and Quinn.

Other suggestions - Josephine and Alexander

Oscar and Adelaide.

There, job done.

Ihavewelliesbuttheyrenotgreen · 13/06/2011 22:51

I love Adelaide and Alisdair but I'm not sure if they go together. Maria goes really well with your other names as does Thomas and Matthew.

Children fed?...... check, Asleep?....... check, DH in from the farm?....... Check, House clean?........ ummmm.... it'll do!..........Tired...... CHECK......... Should get an hour of peace before next feed(hopfull emoticon)

Thank you for all the replies. It looks like Christina and Quentin are the topGrin.

Thats settled it for me as they were on both mine and dhs original 'like list' along with Maria, Oscar and Thomas. Quentin was 1st on mine and 4th on dhs and Christina was 2nd on dhs and 6th on mine!(quite spooky when u think of it) So we both get a 'fave' name.

So I would like to formaly introduce:
Christina Kiri Alice
and
Quentin Hemi Alden

Just one more request re nn. Quentin will be Quinn or Squeek. What do you think sounds best for Christina (other than BubbleGrin) Chrissy, Cece, Ina, Nina, Tia or Rissy?
I know that their friends will prob 'choose' a nn when they start school but if they are anything like our other dc they will put them in their place (Elizabeth ony likes full name or Eliza and goes MAD if anyone calls her Elle/Ellie/Lize).

I love the nickname Teeny for Christina. Congratulations. Twins are great

mopsyflopsy · 16/06/2011 09:50

Lovely - Christina and Quentin are gorgeous and go well together. Congratulations.

I would wait what nicknames evolve naturally, but options include
Christina - Christie, Chris, Teeny, Tinny
Quentin - Quinn, Quent, Quenny, Tin Tin, Tinny Smile
