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.

Jus in case you can ever afford to live in Enfield, I'd go with Arnos and Grove.

Bahaha Tyrell and Green.

Lewisham and Catford!!! Lew and Cat for short, quite trendy for b/g twins..

I was living in the Nam (as we call it) when PG with DD and pondered Catford as a name, in the style of Brooklyn Beckham.

There was a woman in the US whose children's names were pronounced (I think) Le-mon-jell-O and Or-ran-jell-o. (Lemon Jello and Orange Jello.)

Colin and Dale

Brilliant!

If I have twin boys (unlikely) I am going to call them Brixton and Peckham.

Bill and Ricky

Enfield and Chase?

Highbury and Islington

Far more aspirational

Beth and Nell Green

Why restrict yourself to places - why not used buildings as inspiration.

When my son was 5, he was determined his future sons would be called: Gherkin, Shard and Strata.

thanks for the laugh OP

(actually I'm fine with Chelsea as a name)

Trafalgar and Square or East and Ham

Bombay & Sapphire?

Tyne & Wear?

I'm sure I've heard high school kids round here calling each other Kent

Brighton and Hove

Sorry OP but its vile.

I prefer Zone 1 and Zone 2.

Zone 1 being the favoured child obviously.

I still shop in Tyrell and green. So does my mum. I don't care what they try and call it...it's still Tyrells so there .

Carter and Hatch with your next child called Lane

Susie that end of town will always be known as Tyrells

If Brooklyn had been conceived in my neck of the woods, he would have been called Peckham Beckham.

or depending if you are joking!

Peck and ham?
Wolver and hampton?
maida and vale?
Birken and head?
