DH and I are expecting twins (boy and girl) and we really like slightly out-there hippy surfy names! Any suggestions?

Summer-bai for a girl, sea cucumber for a boy

shakemysilliesout · 16/12/2014 09:33

Or Jeremy obvs

I'm all for hippy and surfy but what if one grows up to work in insurance and the other becomes an accountant?

Will seacucumber still work?

shakemysilliesout · 16/12/2014 09:34

I wish my accountant was called sea cucumber

Aussiemum78 · 16/12/2014 09:34

I don't like them but for boys Taj, and Kai pop up a bit here as "surfie" names.

HoHonutty · 16/12/2014 09:35

Kylie and Bruce are my favourites from these suggestions.

Seacucumber and Jeremy would be considered unusual around here too.

Eastpoint and bicnod Grin
I came here to say the surfers I know are called Robert, Muriel and Jack. Really really old fashion names.
Having a revival?

Aussiemum, I imagine that's precisely why those names have been suggested!

OP, the most hardcore surfer I know is called Fergal. Think massive waves and freezing Atlantic off the west coast of Ireland. Some of his surfer friends are Eamonn, Paul Maura and Wolfgang. I think they'd think that 'surfie' names were ridiculous.

Digory for a boy. Digory's is a surf beach in Cornwall.

Mara - I think it's Irish for 'of the sea'
Mair is similar, but Welsh.

seacucumber? seriously... anyone who calls a child that needs to be bashed with a cucumber to knock some sense into them.

some of these names should only be given to characters/aliens on a film set - no one in real life should be given them. no wonder kids get picked on when given such stupid names.

magpieginglebells · 16/12/2014 10:59

Has to be Brad. Brad from Neighbours was the ultimate surfer dude.

Bluestocking · 16/12/2014 11:01

Don't you think he might end up being called Sea-Puke-Umber? Kids can be so cruel.

redredholly · 16/12/2014 11:03

Have any of you actually seen a sea cucumber? I have - it looks like a big hairy cock covered in petrol. Please don't name your child this.

MollyAir · 16/12/2014 11:05

I think you have a point there as far as Jeremy is concerned, Peggy.

Grin I'm certain most of the UK would agree.
