Douglas (Dougie) and Meg for twins?

[Jojay]

What do you think?

Meg's lovely. Douglas not so much. May be a bit old. Also there is a popular picture book -Hugless Douglas-which always makes me cry when hormonal at least.

Where do you live? Is that Duggie or the Scottish Doogie?

Ooooooh! Those names are so lovely together, I want to cry! :)

We're not scottish, so Duggie.

Well, there you go. I like Douglas, but I find Meg an abrupt, clunky and ugly name for a little girl.

If you really like it, at least give her the full name and not the nickname, then she will have some options. If Margaret is not acceptable, there are variations such as Margarita or Marguerite.

I've got an Uncle Douglas and Aunt Margaret

What about Megan?

DH prefers Megan to Meg, but there's something about Meg....

Nutmeg

I think I agree with Constance

Thanks all - food for thought...

I think they're lovely names together, but I did assume were scottish...

I think it has a lot to do with who you know with the names etc. I think Meg is incredibly cute. I picture a little bundle of mischief.
I think Douglas is more manly but Duggie is cute when he is wee.
Congratulations on the twins. I am

assume YOU were scottish.

Ds1 and 2 are Jasper and Edward (Ed).

I think Jasper, Ed, Dougie and Meg sounds quite cool!!

Thanks Carrots We're very excited too, now we're over the shock

Lovely. But Meg is a nn so I'd give her a fuller name for birth cert/future purposes. Megan or Margaret (I'd go with Megan).

Too many Gs?

Margaret and Douglas are lovely though but perhaps not together?

My DTSs are William and Charles (accidentally very royal!! wish i'd asked MNers first)

I absolutely bloody love Douglas and Meg....wish I could use these!!
So fab separately and together!

Really lovely names. Meg is beautiful just as it is. Many conratulations x

I love those together-Somehow Iimagine two sweet natured,kind and good humoured rosy cheeked children!!

Great choices.

Yes, absolutely. These are very good names. No further discussion needed .

Both lovely names, but I think I'd go for Douglas and Megan/Margaret, known as Dougie and Meg, rather than giving one child a 'proper' name with its own nickname, and the other child just a nickname, if you see what I mean.

I agree, think they should both have 'proper names' so Douglas and Margaret / Megan - personally prefer Megan
Dougie and Meg are love nn for children
