Unusual but not ridiculous - opinions?

[magicstar78]

DH and I already have two DSs Rohan Hamish (known as Rolo) and Darwin Cassius and are now expecting twins! We don't know the gender so we're going to have to be extra creative in getting four sets of names :)

We have got a few ideas but none that we are completely sold on. I'll put them below and any feedback would be fab as well as suggestions.

Girls
Melanie Alice
Skye Flora
Tansy Juliet
Luna Phoebe

Boys
Ty Leonard
Gray Finnian
Oswald Rupert
Fergus Gabe

Opinions welcome as well as suggestions/different combinations of names we have listed.

TIA

From your list I like,

Girls
Skye Flora
Tansy Juliet - What about Tanith nn Tany?

Boys
Gray Finnian
Fergus Gabe

Good Luck

Tansy Juliet and Gray Finnian

TJ and Melissa Alice (not keen on Melanie - sorry)
GF and Fergus Gabriel

Congratulations.

Tansy Juliet is sweet

Not too sure on the boys names. How about;

Murray
Fraser
Sebastian
Elliott
Elijah
Montgomery (Monty)
Chase

Melanie Alice -- Melanie will be forever Spice Girls for me
Skye Flora -- too hippyish for my taste and adjectivey
Tansy Juliet -- very nice but I prefer Juliet Tansy, though tansy the plant used to be used to treat intestinal worms among other complaints
Luna Phoebe -- Phoebe Luna nicer than Luna Phoebe and there's a strong potential for Luna being turned into Looney

Ty Leonard really, really dislike Ty but Leonard isn't bad also 'tie Leonard'
Gray Finnian -- Gray is a very blah colour and name imo
Oswald Rupert -- Moseley? Nein
Fergus Gabe -- the nicest of the bunch though I would use Gabriel and not Gabe as the mn

I like the name Corbin, mentioned upthread and think it would go well with your other names and the MNs you have chosen. Corbin is an old word for a crow.

I agree with Scathac's comments.

WinnieMac, I like the suggestion of Augustus nn Gus and we already have Fergus (maybe Gus?) on the list :)

How about Juliet Tansy and Gabriel Fergus? I think they sound better that way round. And Flora Alice is lovely.

Phoebe's lovely but Luna is too close to Loony to be safe.

A lot of people have mentioned Luna becoming Loony - think that may just have been demoted to a middle name!

Oooh congratulations with your twins! I love the names of your boys as well - Darwin was on our list but sadly sounds awful with our surname ('w' alliteration, not good) :(

Out of your list at the moment for boys I love Ty, Gray, Rupert and Fergus and for girls I love Melanie, Juliet, Flora and Skye

So you could have

Ty Fergus and Rupert Gray
Melanie Flora and Skye Juliet
Ty Rupert and Melanie Skye
Gray Fergus and Flora Juliet

Hope I helped!
