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 :)
