Castiel Quinn
Malakai Torin

Nn Cass and Kai

We've come a long way from Balthazar and Theseus and they're never going to Jack and Henry level of normal.

Thoughts?

I prefer the middle names. I think you should reverse the order and have a Quinn Castiel and a Torin Malachi. You could NN Torin to Tor.

But they're your kids so name them something you love!

You've gone from Rees-Mogg to Rooney. Not keen on either end of the spectrum except Cass.

DontCallMeShitley · 02/09/2019 16:58

Sorry, but bloody hell, they are awful.

IsobelRae23 · 02/09/2019 16:58

Rooney’s fan??

AlexandPea · 02/09/2019 16:45

Really not keen. Those names on a school register would instinctively make me think that they would be disruptive with parents who encourage their “uniqueness”!

What about Caspar/Caspian and Melchior/Malcolm/Michael/?

BertrandRussell · 02/09/2019 16:35

Why are you spelling Malachi like that?

Expressedways · 02/09/2019 16:33

Nissan Qashqai. If they’re still making them when your twins turn 17 then that’s their present sorted.
I really like Torin and even much prefer Balthazar and Thessus to your current picks.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 02/09/2019 16:32

Malakai is dreadful, but I actually don’t mind Castiel.

Both middle names are nicer than the first names though.

Cass and Kai also immediately made me think of the Rooneys, so if you’re specifically aiming for unusual I’d steer clear.

MistyMinge2 · 02/09/2019 16:29

I much prefer the middle name choices

Littlechocola · 02/09/2019 16:27

Much prefer @Caspianberg suggestions.

They feel slightly ‘try hard’.

Sparklysunflower · 02/09/2019 16:26

I love Quinn and Torin! I'd use those as first names.

cocomelon23 · 02/09/2019 16:23

Aren't they the Rooney's kids names?

Caspianberg · 02/09/2019 16:21

Sorry I don't like them at all...

Quinten Torin
Caspian Malachi

BoswellsBollocks · 02/09/2019 16:20

I’m way too slow typing 🤦🏻‍♀️

FreckledLeopard · 02/09/2019 16:20

Not keen at all. I'd much rather Balthazar and Theseus.

BoswellsBollocks · 02/09/2019 16:19

Cass and Kai are both Rooney kids names. Just mentioning in case that could bother you.

Bumbags · 02/09/2019 16:19

🤣🤣🤣 x post

Bumbags · 02/09/2019 16:18

Please spell Malachi properly.

Hate Kai as a shortening of Malachi though.

You also sound like you are copying Wayne Rooney’s Kids names 🤣🤣🤣

I think I would rethink Malachi actually so you don’t have matching K sounds.

Love Cass.

MrsJoshNavidi · 02/09/2019 16:17

Cass and Kai together sound very Wayne Rooney but not in a good way.
If that's what you like, go for it!

user1493494961 · 02/09/2019 16:15

They're OK, prefer Malachi spelling.

Echobelly · 02/09/2019 16:13

Cass and Kai do sound like a Nissan car together Wink... but actually, yes, I do quite like those names and the nicknames.
