In the village where I grew up, the greengrocer was called Mr Bacon and the butcher was called Mr Onions. I always thought they should swap shops.

My friends twins are Leon and Noel. I thought this was genius for twin boys. Love both names and perfect for twins. Their parents are 2 of the nicest people I know ( just incase I have outed myself!)

so that's real

calamity, twin boys 'Leon and Noel'
I don't get it! Do you mean 'Liam and Noel' or am I being really thick here? Grin

VimFuego101 · 11/03/2016 00:23

My surgeon is called Mr Cutts. It pleases me.

Translated as - you mother is a prostitute

It's so phonetically perfect that I did have my doubts.

My twins have really boring names. I feel like I've missed an opportunity here.

ChristmasZombie · 11/03/2016 10:04

Twowrongs I know of a boy named Aston Martin!

Also know of twin girls named Rose-Loveday and Valentine-Dae. Can you guess their birthday???

A friend of mine has several middle names, including Rose Baby One. Her younger brother has Rose Baby Two. Their first names are slightly hippyish, but perfectly normal!

Icanseeformiles you are forgiven for your tardiness. However I fail to see what is wrong with Broxi, y'know with mine being called Coisty and Laudrup!! (Can you tell what colour I am!) GrinGrinGrinGrin
