Honest opinions on these.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Erm. No. Just no

SageRosemary · 03/06/2021 17:09

I'm guessing this is a one post only thread by the OP who is on school holidays

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 03/06/2021 17:08

Paul + Stevie?

Anoisagusaris · 03/06/2021 17:07

Dumb and Dumber?

CandyLeBonBon · 03/06/2021 17:03

Ebb and Flow??

PetraRabbit · 03/06/2021 17:03

Not together! I actually really like Ebony for a darker skinned or black haired baby- it's a name for an attractive woman I think- but please don't use it on a blonde or pale baby! I think Ivory isn't particularly nice. It sounds too much like a mash-up of other popular names at the moment.

Gin and Tonic?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 03/06/2021 16:53

Macca and Mikey.

Not ebony and ivory.

You may as well go tibia and fibula.

Misseasteregg · 03/06/2021 16:53

Heard the song as soon as I saw the thread

BlueDucky · 03/06/2021 16:51

Not for human babies

MumofSpud · 03/06/2021 16:50

What about Chas 'n' Dave?

SionnachRua · 03/06/2021 16:49

For puppies, kitten, foals, rabbits? Lovely.

Not on humans.

Notreallyawaitress · 03/06/2021 16:48

Bubble and Squeak?

applespearslemons · 03/06/2021 16:45

Go for it! Love it for two little puppies

GettingItOutThere · 03/06/2021 16:31

for hamster? yes

children - absolutely fucking no way

partyatthepalace · 03/06/2021 16:24

For Gerbils or pot plants yes.

But only rodents or house greenery

CandyLeBonBon · 03/06/2021 16:19

Snow while and rose red?

TellmewhoIam · 03/06/2021 16:17

Whisky and Soda?

pilates · 03/06/2021 15:43

No

BackforGood · 03/06/2021 15:36

Awful

RickOShay · 03/06/2021 15:29

I really like Ebony. The one I know is blonde Smile
Bianca or Chiara mean white and clear, if you would like a contrast.
Or Blanche?

Hallyup6 · 03/06/2021 15:24

Ebony sounds like a stripper's name. Ivory isn't a name. Don't be so daft as to use them for actual real babies.

UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme · 03/06/2021 15:17

You could do Ruby and Pearl instead (although it brings to mind characters in bad novels its a better pair). I suspect that the OP is looking for names for pets or fictional characters in a creative writing piece, not real human babies.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 03/06/2021 15:15

For twins or siblings? Absolutely not.

For a pair of rabbits, possibly.

Guardsman18 · 03/06/2021 15:14

Salt and Pepper is nice though!
