HELP NAMING TWINS!!!

90 replies

sockieA · 21/07/2020 16:26

Me and my DH are expecting twins in November and desperately need help choosing names as we are horrific at thinking of names. We want the names to be meaningful to us and not just sound pretty but it's quite hard to do! Here's what we've got so far

DD -
Scout
Birdie
Luna
Star

DS -
Blue
Sparrow
Knox
Xavier

Any opinions or suggestions??

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Fox is a fab name. You have to be pretty cool to pass it off though.

Giganticshark · 23/07/2020 05:24

Ohhh Briony is beautiful!!!! I actually like Blue.

@sockieA

Me and my husband travel all of the time due to his job (it's how we met) and so we are trying to think of names to do with that. So nature and things similar although we don't want place names!

Going with the travel theme

Google (girl) and Maps (boy)

Most of them sound like pet names to be honest.

What about:
Boys:
Peregrine - means wanderer/traveller/pilgrim, plus the bird
Ferdinand: traveller meaning
Ulysses
Moses

Girls:
Linnet
Marina - sea meaning
Romana

The OP hasn't come back so I'm gonna assume (and hope!) that this thread is a wind-up.

Cheerfullygo4 · 22/07/2020 16:41

Luna and Knox

PaddyF0dder · 22/07/2020 14:18

“ we are horrific at thinking of names”

Yeah.

starkid · 22/07/2020 14:00

Luna and Xavier yes, the rest a big no no from me

FeedMeSantiago · 22/07/2020 12:19

Is Birdie a typo for Bridie?

Regardless, Luna and Xavier on the grounds that they are established names, and whilst Bridie (if you meant Bridie and not Birdie) is an actual name - I know two - Luna is a nicer name.

micc · 22/07/2020 08:52

Love all of them:)

What about Luna and Nova?
I know that Nova can be boys or girls, more popular is easten Europe as a boys name.

I love Luna so maybe another space/star inspired name for the boy?

Apollo ?
Orion ?

Riv12345 · 22/07/2020 08:37

So OP what do you think?

I do hope this thread is genuine

COPPER3 · 22/07/2020 06:53

Oceana, Kaia, Gali for the girl's name?
Caspian, Raffety, Alon for the boy's name?
These all derive from the sea btw.
I love unusual names!

Good luck xx

Ugzbugz · 22/07/2020 02:12

You cannot call a child birdie or sparrow, birdie will always be called bird.
Xavier is just pretty common. Knox reminds me of Amanda Knox, wasnt she that apparent high profile murderer?

Ocean, Rain, storm, Atlanta, venus, river? Probs all very common now, what about classics like Jane and Peter

Allmyeye · 22/07/2020 02:03

Rowan, Dale, Heath, Ashley (Ash) Glenn. All nature names. Wouldn’t be my choice but they are proper names that won’t be thought ridiculous. Another girl one - Jasmine.

Allmyeye · 22/07/2020 01:47

Awful and not even names. Poor kids.

What about proper names to do with nature like Heather, Hazel, Rosa? Even Willow which I don’t care for is a better option and more acceptable as a proper name these days . Must admit I’ll have to give the boys names more thought and come back.

ParsleyPot · 22/07/2020 00:22

Birdie and Sparrow, really classy.

For short, they can be Bir and Spaz.

SleepingStandingUp · 22/07/2020 00:16

DD -
Scout no
Birdie ew
Luna love
Star how about Seren instead?

DS -
Blue feeling a bit blue with the baby blues
Sparrow girlie
Knox fort
Xavier awesome

I'd have Xavier and Luna from your list.

How about Wren or Farrow?

NotYourDawg · 22/07/2020 00:12

I think you're confusing naming children with naming pets.

Sparrow!?

Poor bloody children.

Ginger1982 · 21/07/2020 22:49

Well this has given me a good pre-bedtime giggle.

Might I suggest Lufthansa and Quantas?

OhYeahYouSuck · 21/07/2020 22:27

Some those aren't names. Don't be so stupid.

COPPER3 · 21/07/2020 21:56

Luna is beautiful
Xavier is nice
Ocean, Jax for boys names? Ula, Iris for girls?

123Dancewithme · 21/07/2020 21:48

Everyone on here seems to be having twins at the moment, all with ridiculous names too.

MikeUniformMike · 21/07/2020 21:15

we are horrific at thinking of names

dobbyssoc · 21/07/2020 21:11

@MIgZig the idea you would subject a child to have the name of Leaf!
