Douglas James and Natasha Alice for our twins - what do you think?

[Jojay]

Probably would be known as Dougie and Tasha day to day.

Well?

Hmm, sorry to sound harsh but I really don't like Douglas, Dougie or Doug & I don't think your LO will when they grow up either as it's so old fashioned. I know it may have sentimental meaning for you but not for your LO, I had a friend called Albert - he hated it. What about James Douglas (if the Douglas part is special?) He could even be "JD" as a nn?

Natasha is lovely though. :)

The Douglas part has no sentimental meaning. I guess I like Dougie but feel he should have a 'proper' name

I don't really like Douglas, and I hate Dougie and Tasha. Sorry!

There is a little boy in my ds1's class called Douglas, I will confess to screwing my nose up a little but it suits him now I know him. All the boys call him Doug. Also Dougie from McFly he is definitely not old fashioned!

I have a JD it is really cute he calls it himself instead of his real name, he is 21 months old. I don't know if I like Natasha it reminds me of that woman from Emmerdale, I think I am associating it with someone I went to school with called Tasha who was a bit of a scruff. Obviously that makes no odds to you though :)

like douglas,dont like dougie.
like natasha dont like tasha
the diminutives dont work,beautiful name choices but not shortened

and fwiw,dont think douglas is imo good solid name

and most importantly congratulations,and ps dont pay any heed to any of us regards your name choices.

I love love love Douglas. I have one! I think it is a very masculine, strong name. Goes v well with James too! I don't think it's old fashioned, just (thankfully) underused.

Natasha Alice also sounds good.

I love the names, if that helps!

JoJay, I've just seen your other thread.

If you have a Jasper & an Edward, why don't you go the Twilight trio & have an Emmett?

Eeewww - can't stand Emmett! Reminds me of that drippy man in the Hyacinth Bucket programme

Pahahahah! Carlisle then?

I've never read / seen Twilight so I have no clue who you are talking about, but Carlisle? NO!!

Hehe, okay, will try to think up some better suggestions! :)

Natasha is lovely, I just abhor the nn Tasha! Alice is beautiful Douglas is okay, but James is simply perfect!

How about Natasha and James, or Alice and James?

I love those names! I like Douglas too, it's kind of cool. Most people won't be 'ready' for it but I see it becoming more popular.

I like James as a middle name, but it's a bit boring as a first name, IMO of course. I think I know too many

I prefer something a little more unusual, but not so far out that no-one knows how to spell it!

DS1 and 2 are Jasper and Ed (ward)

Natasha and Jayden - really? I don't think of it like that at all!

I agree that Douglas is a bit tweedy but in a good way I think!

I love Dougie Knew a gorgeous one once

I like Douglas - and Dougie but I prefer Natalie (how do you spell that - thought it had h in but can't work out where) or Natalia to Natasha

Love Douglas/Dougie - really, really fabulous.
I am not very keen on Natasha and Tasha is really awful.

I like Clara - it's been a contender. Steering clear of Kate this year!

Dougie/Doug/Douglas all fabulous solid names.

I think Douglas is a lovely name and so is Natasha. Douglas James is a great combination - what my brother is called and oddly enough there was another Douglas James in his class at school. Jim Morrison was a James Douglas btw.

Agree that Douglas and Natasha don't really go together somehow. Really like Douglas (or Dougal), Natalia is a good alternative to Natasha, but I actually prefer Alice. Just my personal opinion!
