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

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think surfers and hippies are very different stereotypes.... I don't think surfers are very hippy.

Hippies I know:
Gaia (girl)
Lisa
Daygan (boy)
Rowan (girl)
Sukhina (girl)
Hazel

I wouldn't say any of those were very surfer-y.

I vote Seacucumber!! Really like Jesse though.

But Thalassemia sounds like an illness or other (undesirable) condition, don't you think?

How about:

Snorkel? Driftwood? Flotsam? Jetsam? Beachcomber? BladderWrack? Ferdinand? Pericles? Holothurian? Nudibranch?
or - (I think I've found the ultimate name here!) -

DUNE ?

Jessbags001 · 16/12/2014 13:01

Thalassemia (albeit slight different spelling) is an illness - it's a blood disorder... so perhaps not!

Jessbags001 · 16/12/2014 13:03

How about Ripcurl or Riptide (either gender)? Curly/Tidy for a nickname?

shakemysilliesout · 16/12/2014 13:10

Flotsam and jetsam are characters in little mermaid. So what about ursula?

BigRedBall · 16/12/2014 13:48

My vote is for THONG...hahaha tears down my eyes ??????

MollyAir · 16/12/2014 14:12

Dune is actually quite good, dude.

Maybe Dune and Rune.

MollyAir · 16/12/2014 14:13

Could be shortened to Dun and Run.

shakemysilliesout · 16/12/2014 14:14

Has the op picked a Favourite yet?

coldtoe · 16/12/2014 16:12

I like Kit and Nell as mentioned before.
Also...
Ned and Olive
Marnie and Sid
Barney/Barnaby and Juno
Hebe and Kip

Think I like Juno and Ned best

I think the poor OP has the sense to stay well away, and I think you lot have been at the sherry Grin!

I like alpacacino's idea of winds - how about Zephyr which is a real name based on the Greek name of the West Wind? There's also a female version Zephyria, but that doesn't seem as cool somehow.

I very much like Cqcumber. His sister would have to be Kalamari.
