Of course it is a joke. They are just nicknames

NannyR · 20/09/2018 12:53

It's a joke - it's what he's been referring to them as throughout the pregnancy!

BadderWolf · 20/09/2018 12:54

It's a step up from zig and zag

HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone · 20/09/2018 12:55

Yes its just what they have been calling the babies whilst in the womb. There is also a thread currently on this subject on the baby names thread...

MrsMozart · 20/09/2018 12:55

It must be in jest.

Nobody could do that to their children.

schooltripwoes · 20/09/2018 13:09

Yes they're just named they've used during the pregnancy- like peanut / jellybean / insert other twee foetus name here

He's already said they're 'working names' for the twins. I think it's cute and doesn't give any clues as to the gender.

My daughter was Iggy (coz she was my passenger) until she was born but we dropped the name very quickly!

sorry as nothing to do with original thread but that's adorable!

Of course they're joking, they are in utero nicknames, and either as they (a) haven't decided on names yet, or (b) aren't ready to reveal them, Chris used Ping and Pong in the announcement.

My twins were known as Zig and Zag!

Of course, the article I read before this, wrote 'they have named the twins Ping and Pong' actually the real names Walt and Boo I think almost just as bad

Walt and Boo? Boo? I genuinely prefer Ping to Boo!

Sunflower321 · 21/09/2018 16:28

Boo 👻?

EmilyDickinson · 21/09/2018 19:17

Boo does seem a strange choice. Very obvious teasing potential. Walt is fine.

MrsMozart · 21/09/2018 20:19

Those poor kids.

iklboo · 21/09/2018 20:21

DS was 'bumplestiltskin' - we didn't know what he was so couldn't guess the name Grin

toffee1000 · 22/09/2018 21:26

Walt is much better than Boo. That poor child. I think it’s the girl twin. Her older brothers are Noah and Eli, her brother is Walt, and she’s Boo?? Are they Monsters Inc fans??
