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

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.

My imaginary Ken does sound rather fun.

Maybe if the op wants a London theme for her boy-girl twins how about David and Chastity.

To be known as Chas and Dave.

This was the Kenneth thread. I don't see why it shouldn't be extended to Kens of all kinds.

If we were going by family connections to areas my (nonexistent) twins would be Roundhay and Park.

Personally I prefer Hinge and Bracket.
Your twins will hate you if you chose matching names

Perhaps you will be blessed with exceptionally kind, loving and pious DC:

Kens are not babies, Kens are jovial late middle aged coach drivers with mutton chop sideburns who go to line dancing

Lweji's suggestion of Kensington & Barbara, but shortened, is amazing!

Bar-Ken Grin

And you instantly have another London station!
