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.

Or yet another... Barbie-Ken

These threads always make me want to post a link to that YouTube video where the guy has written a song of all of the Tube stations.

Colin and Dale lovely! Brighton and Hove

Many of these have had me laughing out loud.

Kenneth would be much better than Kensington

We could almost link this thread to the Mornington Crescent game thread...

Nick names Morny and Cressie.

This makes me think of the girl called Nutella

hairbrushbedhair · 03/11/2015 23:09

I knew a girl called Malaria once

Didactylos · 03/11/2015 23:16

I like it - aspirational, innit?

or is it like Brooklyn Beckham, related to suspected place of conception?
in which case I am really intrigued
is there a fulcrum point that allows you to use both names?
or did your twins have an astonishingly athletic conception?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 03/11/2015 23:22

Lweji how about Maurie & Cressy?

Both have the advantage of being real names Wink

MrsJoyless · 03/11/2015 23:27

I once came across siblings Shannon and Jordan which amused me.

Bunbaker · 03/11/2015 23:55

This is the funniest thread I have ever read on Mon. Some of the suggestions have had me in stitches.
How about Tinsley and Viaduct?
Meadow and Hall?
Cheltenham and Gloucester?
Don and Valley

Flashbangandgone · 04/11/2015 00:16

I rather like Canary and Wharf

TurquoiseDress · 04/11/2015 00:17

Lewisham & Brixton?

Flashbangandgone · 04/11/2015 00:20

If you end up with a surprise third baby (hiding behind the other two at the ultrasound), Old, Kent and Road has nice ring to it!

FatRun · 04/11/2015 00:27

Ken and Chels. Don't see an issue. Wink

Personally though I quite like Finchley Road (boy) and Frognal (girl).

Needmoresleep · 04/11/2015 00:39

A bit more suburban?

Cock and Fosters?

musicposy · 04/11/2015 00:59

NerrSerr and Dazoo's reply Grin
I am trying so hard not to wake DH up laughing!

Placeinthesun · 04/11/2015 07:57

My twins were gonna be Felix and Arthur.... Until SIL pointed out they were both brands of cat food.

PositivePete · 04/11/2015 08:03

Clapham & Stockwell?

MissHooliesCardigan · 04/11/2015 08:14

I'm still not amused at everyone mocking my DC's names. They tend to get shortened to Ellie and Cassie which I'm not really keen on.

TweenageAngst · 04/11/2015 08:44

Dag and Ham

Booyaka · 04/11/2015 08:50

I want triplets so I can call the Kingston, Upon, Hull.
