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??

we are trying to think of names to do with that. So nature and things similar although we don't want place names!

There are lots of nature names that aren't those and considered more mainstream.
Think of it as your child is having to live with that name throughout their whole schooling life and to put on CVs etc.
Birdie and Sparrow are ridiculous!

I’ve never heard of any of them. I have DT’s - like any parent we gave them names we liked but I don’t recognise any of your list.

Personally I wouldn't go for

Sparrow and birdie

Riv12345 · 21/07/2020 16:47

Scout for a girl is very pretty

I know a

Rainbow
Lilac
Bluebell
Rumer

Abit our there but still pretty

Not sure about a boys name tbh

Knox and Scout/Star, I’d say.

Hippofrog · 21/07/2020 16:44

It’s got to be Sparrow and Birdie.

Total honesty here - I think they are all truly horrid!

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!

I only don’t like Birdie. But as a pp says, how can we suggest names if we don’t know what’s meaningful to you? My daughter has a beautiful name that we found from a show we love!

SweatyAndyFromWoking · 21/07/2020 16:37

What's meaningful about obscure names which are the same as various celeb kids?

flooredbored · 21/07/2020 16:37

TBH not keen on any of them. Blue, Sparrow, Star and Birdie are all pretty terrible imo.

Is it a nature theme? Do you want names that relate to a particular place? It's a bit difficult to make suggestions without a few more details.

Jilljams · 21/07/2020 16:36

It’s got to be birdie and sparrow

LovingLola · 21/07/2020 16:35

Twins again 🙄

Thistlegirl4 · 21/07/2020 16:33

Scout and Knox are my favourites from your lists.

glasshalfsomething · 21/07/2020 16:32

Not sure on suggestions as I don’t know what will mean anything to you. All I’d say is I can’t see any of those names ‘going’ together. Calling Birdie and Sparrow to come in from the garden sure as heck will confuse the neighbours!
