Pegasus and Philomena?

[GetOutOfMyBath]

for twin boy and girl...? I appreciate its a bit unusual....

Is it wrong that I'm in stitches reading these replies! "Pegasus is fine for a baby foal"!!!
Agree that Pegasus is pretty horrific but Philomena isn't too bad. Not great but not as bad as Pegasus!
I like Atticus and Aoife!

I'm Irish, so Philomena is worse than Pegasus. Although I'm totally up for all those old lady names that haven't been revived to made cool again.

Personally, if you want classical names starting with P, I'd go for Phineas or Phaethon and Penthesilea, Persis or Pandora.

Perseus and Persephone nn Percy.
Pegasus and Pygmalion nn Peggy and Piggy.

I'm normally nice on these threads but Pegasus is officially the worst name anyone has ever asked about. Sorry. But it's just awful.

You could make it nicer by double-barrelling it with something more popular ...

I went to school with a Philomena, she said in reception she thought she was a bit think because it took her a long time to learnt o write her name compared to Amy and Jane.

You've got to be taking the piss.

"Another vote for "makes a nice change from Jack and Lily"

0h, ffs.

Put down the crack pipe and move away from your cherished copy of the Iliad

But thanks for a brilliant laugh

How about Ptolemy and Terpsichore?

You know your choices are 'out there' when you can't imagine Jacob Reece Mogg using them

Please remember you are not naming babies but people. These little people will grow up, go through school, maybe college and go on to get jobs and be adults in their own right.
Give them names that they can be proud of, not names that they will to explain forever.

Sorry I usually try and say something positive on these threads but I think they are both awful and seem far too try hard. I get unusual names can be appealing but do you really want names that will be remembered by their teachers forever...for all the wrong reasons!

Pegasus? Erm, no. You could go for Minotaur & then start a thread about its pronunciation (My-nataur or Min-nataur)

Twins? Human twins? Not even part goat?

Pegasus is on a par with Carpet, shoe-Horn, LED Lightbulb, and Roundabout. It's not a name, it's the name of a thing. If you like it so much why don't you call yourself Pegasus?

I've been on these forums for quite some time and Pegasus is one of the most ridiculous suggestions I've seen yet.

Aah Jaysus.

Go for it Op.
They'll be hard as nails by the time they've been through school.

OP, I think you need to do the "imagine them as an adult doing everyday things" test. Can you imagine a young man called Pegasus making a report to the police? Giving his name over the phone to an energy company? Being introduced to his girlfriend's parents? Having his name called out in the GP waiting room? Making a formal complaint at work? Now can you imagine him doing all of those things with the people around him maintaining a straight face throughout?

I'm not saying it's impossible. It may even be character-building. And certainly memorable. But worth considering maybe.

Unless your own name is Centaur or Appletree or Set Square or something else ridiculous, you'd be very unfair to saddle tiny humans with those names.

I prefer Dobbin and Deirdre.

Forgive me op, but no! Especially not Pegasus.

Peg & Phil, but sexes reversed

Philly and Filly

No! Horrendous

Percy however I like and can be unisex
Mena? Rather than Philomena
