I think your name is 80s classic, probably quite popular hence why you like less common names I'm guessing Rebecca, Laura, Sarah, or Louise. X

My sick baby is doing incredibly well. He's super talented and very strong physically. He's also a wee bit arrogant and show offy, so we're working on that.

Only a month or so till you can find out the babies sexes. I guess they're either 2 girls or 2 boys! How exciting. I'm sure you'll be on this thread a fair bit!

It's all very subjective, but I am not keen on frilly names for girls. Lilyanna and Ariella do sound frilly independently. When they are a pair, that seems to overemphasise the frilliness iyswim.

Xavier is such a cool name, it seems a shame to me to give his sisters frilly rather than cool names and, rightly or wrongly, it does make me think why does the boy get to be cool but the girls have to be... French fancies?

Meaning the cakes btw 😂! Nothing to do with French PEOPLE! Don't wish to offend.

Babynameseek · 30/06/2019 11:19

Which pronunciation do you use for Xavier? I know a French adult Xavier with the ‘Zav Ee Ay’ pronunciation and an 8 year old Aussie ‘Zay Vee Er’.

CatkinToadflax · 30/06/2019 11:36

Oh and I’m predicting that you’re a Sarah.

Babynameseek · 30/06/2019 11:45

With the er not ay at the end Catkin.

My name was guessed upthread, Charlotte

I actually really like Shiningstar Beauty and Ohsoclever Bestest , but you should change Xavier's name to Handsome McGenius so he doesn't feel left out x

Owlbert · 30/06/2019 20:40

It tells me that you want lovely names for your children!

Babynameseek · 30/06/2019 20:58

@Iliterallycantthinkofanythingq it's like you've met him, that name is perfect!

Sofia & Elena.

Congrats on your twins! FX all goes well!

AGnu · 30/06/2019 21:50

Oooh, more ideas...
Dionne & Andrea
Coco & Ziggy
Coco & Rafaela (nn Raffy) - a bit more "European" sounding to go with Xavier.

If they turn out to be boys:
Leo & David
Robert & Cameron

Babynameseek · 30/06/2019 21:53

AGnu I am not naming my babies off Home and Away! 😂😂

Spoil sport! Grin

Babynameseek · 01/07/2019 00:48

@Agnu at least play nice! Coco is a brat, Leo and David are annoying and wasn't one of Robert and Cameron crazy??

You could have at least suggested Dean and Colby lol

Xavier has dark, slightly long curly hair. He likes playing with wooden swords and is boisterous.

Lilyana and Ariella are a bit spoiled and bratty. They are super girly as little girls and will be terrible during the teenage years.

Family is middle class, mum is a bit of a free spirit. She might consider home education and likes spending time outdoors with the kids.

It would make me assume you owned more than one item with 'Live Laugh Love' written on it.

Then I'd give my head a shake and remind myself to stop judging people.

My first genuine thought was how close Ariella is to Areola.

SleepingStandingUp · 01/07/2019 21:19

@Gingerkittykat oh God I def need to take the twins to soccor tots or something lol
