A very close firnd has just had twins ( 4 days ago) one girl one boy. She is beside herself because they still have not chosen names for either of them. So oh wise mumsnetters......any suggestions?

She likes quirky and old fashioned names, but is open to absoloutley anything!

Thanks in advance :)

Opal Seraphina has a nice ring to it!

Wow,what lovely considerate reactions to Opal after it's actually been chosen. Classy. Has made me want a third dd just to call it Opal.

Until it's on the birth certificate then it's still up for change. It seems that choosing something before bed time was higher on the list of priorities than actually choosing a nice name.

We are just being honest. If someone already had a child named Opal, I wouldn't have been as blunt. If you like it then use it.

Opal is a lovely name, rolls off the tongue and is such a beautiful stone. I was under the impression it was a lucky stone?!

Opal has very unlucky connotations, sorry. Wouldn't bother me personally but might put lots of people off.
