Hi all, need to get opinions on names for twins. Not sure if 2 girls 2 boys or 1 of each. Honest opinions please.
2 girls: Clementine and India
2 boys Cassius and Noah
1 boy 1 girl Clementine and Cassius. What do you reckon? Too poncey or ok? Thanks all

Clementine is OK, but I always think "Oh my darling"; I like India.

Of your boy's names, I prefer Cassius, so for a mixed sex-pairing I'd go fir Cassius and India.

Clementine - lovely
India - not so fresh these days, a bit tired now
Noah - a bit faddy
Cassius - like

I also like Caspar (with that spelling).

Clementine is nice not keen on others but have to say they are better than Caspar which is awful.

Love Clementine, Cassius is okay but seems to be rising fast in the popularity stakes. I'm not a fan of Noah at all, it seems a bit 'wet' for a boy, India did have a moment in the late 90's and so seems rather old hat now.

How about Caspar?

They are poncey but I don't mind them. There are lots of Noahs about these days. There were probably zero 10 years ago, now there's swarms of them.
What would Cassius's mates shorten his name to? I can only think of Cassie.

clem clam =fanny

india ver 90's wanna be different nuveau wave

not too keen on cassius.


think you should seriously consider twins with the same initial and this can complicate bank statements etc - especially if they have the same birthday - you would be amazed how fucking stupid some institutions can be, i one had a benefot application sent back becuase i had put the same birthday fro two children

i had to write back in capitals ITS BECUASE THEY ARE TWINS!

fucking stupid

anyway, congrats
