To call my twins Kensington and Chelsea even though we can barely afford to rent in Enfield

[ljrenf]

Ive always liked the name Chelsea but when I found out we were having twins I thought this would be a genius idea. My family is originally from around there (grandparents and great grandparents lived there) but its way too expensive for me these days.

Dh thinks its a bad idea but I'm really keen on it.

Lol

I prefer Fulham and Wandsworth.

This is a joke, right?

How about Brixton and Balham?

Elephant & Castle.

It worked for the Clintons, but they're American.

I don't like it because I'm not keen on naming your kid after an area or football team. But it's not dreadful is it.

Notting Hill

The eldest can be Notting, the younger Hill.

What about Crystal Palace or Tottenham Hotspur?

Camden and Sutton I've heard before...

Willesden and Green ?

If you are serious OP then I think it would be a mistake. Chelsea and another name yes. Kensington would be a weird name. Having to refer to Kensington and Chelsea all the time would be weirder still .

There was a kid in an East London primary school I worked in called Stepney. Yes, her surname was Green. No joke.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Elephant and Castle Empress you have killed me.

Love - Elephant and Castle

May and Bel (Mayfair and Belgravia) - assuming both are girls

I'm an East London girl so I'd probably go with Globe Town and Mile End?

You're right - its genius!

Now that I think about it Bermondsey has a nice ring to it. Bermondsey and Newham perhaps?

Nice one op I love a chuckle in the morning.

I think I remember one of the rowers in one of the Oxford v Cambridge boat races being called Hammersmith, or calling his son Hammersmith - but I might have imagined that.

But you'd need another name - Putney perhaps if it is a daughter

I once had two cats called Tyrrell & Green.

Older Mnetters who know Southampton will get the reference!

High and Barnet?

The thing about names is whatever you are called to people who know you it is just you!

Kensington - Kenny or Ken for short

I really wanted to suggest Elephant and Castle but I have been beaten to it.
