Thaddeus and Balthazar

[SleepingStandingUp]

My lovely possibly boy matching twins.

Yes????

Please don't, poor kids.

They are quite traditional for Poland. A bit old fashioned but wouldn't be considered extraordinary. Are you of any Polish background? Lovely names and must be very exciting to expect twins!

Gtfo lol

They’re actually ok.

My ex boyfriend’s son is called Thaddeus.

Well I like both! I think they "match" each other, in that they're both three syllables, biblical and uncommon and both have a few options for shortened forms.

I'd probably pair them both with something simpler in the middle though, maybe still biblical but more mainstream:

Thaddeus John
Balthazar James
Or
Thaddeus Daniel
Balthazar Michael

Or non-biblical
Thaddeus Henry
Balthazar William

Congrats, op on twins!

Love them!

Balthazar and Castiel would be lovely! They could be Balt and Cas.

I also like Gabriel, not as keen on Thaddeus.

@MikeUniformMike what about pliers?

As a massive 'charmed' fan, Balthazar will always be the source of all evil for me.

“Thaddeus is alright for me, Balthazar on a cv sounds too much like an immigrant though.”

That’s the nastiest thing I’ve read in a while.

Anyway, back to the names. I’ve akso got a 3 King as a son.

This is Balthazar from Buffy

Sorry and all that

Are you a supernatural fan? @buttyblahblah

Er no for me.

Op why do you dislike your unborn children?

I'm in the Midlands, would much prefer Castiel and Balthazar to the typical Jayden/Kayden/Aiden options.

Don't like Balthazar, purely because Balthazar was a demon on Charmed.

@McShakey maybe I am. Are you?

Still good names though. OP could always go for Sam and Dean instead but much less interesting.

Amenediel? Benvolio?
Gabriel?

@buttyblahblah I am, I tried to convince DH to name our DC Dean if it was a boy. Thankfully for him it was a girl😂

I like Thaddeus, used to know one, nn. Thady. Balthazar I think is a bit pretentious but if you've got the guts for it then go for it.

I know an adult Balthazar, known generally as Bal. He's not posh.

Alternative TV show Balthazar;

Why would you? And I’m assuming the “simply divine” replies are taking the piss?!

As a general rule of thumb; any name that takes guts to use is best avoided. Isn’t that kind of self explanatory?

@McShakey my DH watched the first two episodes last night but wasn't keen. He might have finally figured out why I like it so much though, he noticed they were very pretty men and that's before Castiel arrives.

I don't think I'd wish triplets on anyone unless they desperately wanted children. Three lots ofeverything happening at once.

How about Horatio and Nicodemus. I love both. If they needed plain NN, they could be Harry and Nick, which defeats the point of having such terrific names..
