Help us pick names for our b/g twins!

[WitchyKitten]

We've decided on Jasper and Grace as middle names and narrowed down our top three first names for each of them but we can't decide and their due in two weeks

We already have two dc - Phoenix and Nova

Boy:
Prince
Ocean
Ryver

Girl:
Pixie
Lux
Lulu

Pixie (or Pearl as suggested by pp) for a girl is lovely.
I really like River and think it goes really well with Phoenix and Nova. If the River Phoenix association works out to not suit you, would you consider Axel or Aries?

PS. Don’t be disheartened by the negative responses. MN does tend to be very conservative, and posters tend to be uninhibited and rude when they don’t understand or fail to appreciate creativity.

River and Lulu

Sessy19 - it’s not really creative is it though?

Jamie Oliver called his kid River
Mel B called her kid Phoenix
I think one of the teen moms called their child Nova
Michael Jackson called his son Prince
Bob geldof called his daughter Pixie

Etc etc etc

Copying celebrities is not creative

I like unusual names and am all for a bolder name choice-within reason. I don’t think your child’s name should be where you show off your creative skills though. It doesn’t have to be top 5 or made up, there are a lot of names between Emily and Ryver.

Ah, I love the no one understands us creative types, they’re all so boring.

Nothing creative about saddling your child with a ridiculously spelt name.

How tedious to have to go through life saying my names River, with a Y.

Best options - River and Lulu. Prince is very naff. I'd assume Lux was a boy's name . You wouldn't want other "light"names like Lucia/Lucy? Delphine? (means dolphin, but is an established name for a girl) Marina or Atlanta for a girl?) Could you do Marino for a boy? (Italian adjective meaning "of the sea/ocean"). I know a Lulu, but it's short for Eloise. Names like Sylvie, Fay, Ariel are similar in meaning to Pixie.

Don’t they have a banned names list in the UK? I’m fairly certain Prince is on that list here. Maybe I live in more of a nanny state 🤷🏼‍♀️

Actually no there is no list as such but names can’t be titles or ranks. And quite rightly so. Please don’t call your poor DS Prince. After all he’s not a Prince is he? Also smacks of tacky AF. Go with River but try and sneak another letter in somehow, what about Rievyer?

@Quizeerascal
Kai also means food in Maori, so there’s that. I did wonder where the love of the name Kai had come from. I think that may explain it

I like River and Pixie

I really like Lux for a girl but none of the others, sorry.

I taught a boy called Reeve. Nice name. Nice boy.

Lulus I have known were, in full. Louella, Elizabeth and Lucy.

Boy:
Prince -dislike
Ocean -love
Ryver - like but only if spelt "River"

Girl:
Pixie - Very cute and I like it. Although it could be an issue if say she grows up to be very tall and not "pixie-like" as it were.
Lux - Nice unique name which has a nice meaning. Could be a pronounciation issue as some people might say "l-uh-x" and others might say "looks".
Lulu - Like this name but you may want to give her a longer name such as Luseane, Lucy, Lucia ect and then just call her Lulu.

As PPs have said having two boys called River and Phoenix is odd. Given River Phoenix was a person.
Lux was (is?) soap.

Ocean

Sorry:
Ocean & Prince - no.
Pixie - no.
Lulu - at least it’s an actual name
