What do you think?
These are my current dream land twins.
They are on my list for dc5, and not sure dh will go for dc 6, so maybe twins.
I like nn Gertie and Gussie, but there is also the options of Trudy and Aggie.

Nothing wrong with being fat :o

They both sound like fat girl names. Sorry. Both really ugly names.

nuns' names. Sorry. Sr Gertrude and Sr Augusta.

I dislike both, especially the nicknames - sorry!

Sorry but Gertrude is definitely on my top 5 ugliest names ever list.

Augusta is okay. Not a fan though

My chances of me actually getting twins or dc 6 is small Grin , so I am not too worried about them sounding matchy! Realistically dc5 will be the last (of dh has anything to do with it!)

Nice names and sweet together but I wouldn't really. They sound a bit like a pair of guinea pigs! Hmmm I don't know - I think they sound too much like a 'pair' to work well together. The kind of names you'd give a pair of guinea pigs or rabbits just about sums it up for me.
