Hi there ladies!
I myself am a very traditional woman from a high-class background with conservative views and friends. I'm currently pregnant with twins! Having 4 children already; Simon , Harry, Emily and Edward, I'm essentially looking for a less "common" name, I don't at all like these "new-earth" names such as Jago or tigger. I am however looking for something a little... different. What do you all think about these? -
Wichard,
Ceculle,
Samwell,
Job, (possible Joab),
Gawker,
Delphina II,
Eli,
Belle,
Beau,
Beaux,
Fant (French pronunciation)
Nathanwell (similar to Nathaniel)
or Theadore?
I look forward to getting to know you all better soon!
Delphiii!
xxxxx

I love the idea of giving them similar names, but that just doesn't give them the scope to become autonomous beings and that saddens me. I do however like the name Eric, it's simple, granted, but I like it. Geronimo is a bit tacky really :( Horatio sounds good, Trixabella too :)
Haven't fallen in love yet though

Delphiii had a think for you - what do you think of the names Gryssentellia, Horatio or Trixabella? x

swanker · 22/06/2011 22:47

I'd go for Geronimo and Flangerella

headfairy · 22/06/2011 22:47

excellent, so plenty of scope for Eric and Erica, Alan and Alana, David and Davina....

swanker · 22/06/2011 22:47

You could let the girl grow her hair, that way you'd know which was which.

culturemulcher · 22/06/2011 22:46

Okay Delphiii time to unmask yourself. Who are you?

GwendolenHarleth · 22/06/2011 22:45

What about Gawkerfanteli ? That way you would be using three of your favourite names.

I've been told they're not identical, bit of a relief really! I'm not good with faces, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart, I'm sure!

delphi... are the twins identical or fraternal?

Toddlerama is terrible.
As for Woderick and Woger, brilliant, I love it!
alas, I read in a similar topic that for twins to have the same initial is a bad idea

reality - I have a Teddy but he is that on his birth certificate. It is obviously the best name in the world. Im not too keen on Edward though, nor Ned. Ted or Teddy.

PamBeesly · 22/06/2011 22:35

I think Kate or Pippa, lovely :)

culturemulcher · 22/06/2011 22:29

For the twins:

Woderick and Woger

toddlerama · 22/06/2011 22:25

I think Toddlerama has a nice ring to it.

Fanjeau... I'm sure I've seen at least three in this years Debretts.

culturemulcher · 22/06/2011 22:22

Peachy I'm with you. Crying with laughter. This is priceless. Great OP, OP. Grin

GibberingGinger · 22/06/2011 22:22

How about mixing up all the initials of your previous children and calling the twins SEESH and SEESHina. Capitals optional of course. Makes the siblings feel special and I'm sure the high classes will think it uber classy!

MarioandLuigi · 22/06/2011 22:21

Maybe you want an UC name for your DC because you quite obviously dont have any.

toddlerama · 22/06/2011 22:19

Gollum?

Purplebuns · 22/06/2011 22:18

How about Torquil?

ThePathanKhansWoman · 22/06/2011 22:17

Grin Grin i love this place. Gawker gets my vote.

culturemulcher · 22/06/2011 22:16

I've got the perfect "high class" name for you. It's out there.

It's Jedward.

har har har, nothing but a social climber. What kind of name is Middleton, no breeding whatsoever!
