Final names for twin boys. I think. Opinions?

[SleepingStandingUp]

Castiel Quinn
Malakai Torin

Nn Cass and Kai

We've come a long way from Balthazar and Theseus and they're never going to Jack and Henry level of normal.

Thoughts?

Cass and Kai do sound like a Nissan car together ... but actually, yes, I do quite like those names and the nicknames.

They're OK, prefer Malachi spelling.

Cass and Kai together sound very Wayne Rooney but not in a good way.
If that's what you like, go for it!

Please spell Malachi properly.

Hate Kai as a shortening of Malachi though.

You also sound like you are copying Wayne Rooney’s Kids names 🤣🤣🤣

I think I would rethink Malachi actually so you don’t have matching K sounds.

Love Cass.

🤣🤣🤣 x post

Cass and Kai are both Rooney kids names. Just mentioning in case that could bother you.

Not keen at all. I'd much rather Balthazar and Theseus.

I’m way too slow typing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sorry I don't like them at all...

Quinten Torin
Caspian Malachi

Aren't they the Rooney's kids names?

I love Quinn and Torin! I'd use those as first names.

Much prefer @Caspianberg suggestions.

They feel slightly ‘try hard’.

I much prefer the middle name choices

Malakai is dreadful, but I actually don’t mind Castiel.

Both middle names are nicer than the first names though.

Cass and Kai also immediately made me think of the Rooneys, so if you’re specifically aiming for unusual I’d steer clear.

Nissan Qashqai. If they’re still making them when your twins turn 17 then that’s their present sorted.
I really like Torin and even much prefer Balthazar and Thessus to your current picks.

Why are you spelling Malachi like that?

Really not keen. Those names on a school register would instinctively make me think that they would be disruptive with parents who encourage their “uniqueness”!

What about Caspar/Caspian and Melchior/Malcolm/Michael/?

Rooney’s fan??

Sorry, but bloody hell, they are awful.

You've gone from Rees-Mogg to Rooney. Not keen on either end of the spectrum except Cass.

I prefer the middle names. I think you should reverse the order and have a Quinn Castiel and a Torin Malachi. You could NN Torin to Tor.

But they're your kids so name them something you love!

Castiel and Pollux?

OOOHH i really like Melchior

Kai means food in Maori

I'm aware of the Rooney connection to the nicknames, guess I was hoping it might be missed and I might get away with it. I love the names, always the option of Mal instead of Kai as definately not aiming to copy the Rooney and he'd have been out the door ehikst I contacted an amazing lawyer long before all the other kids came along if I was Colleen.

Re Cass... I like Caspian and Cassius, DH doesn't. He likes Cassidy. I don't. We both think Casper is a friendly ghost. We both like Castiel. I think that is set in stone. He really likes Quinn and I'm less sure. Middle name seemed like a good compromise.

It's me who adores Malachi / Kai. Seen both spellings, latter seems more sensible to nickname the ending sound.
Torin I really like, DH is ambivalent about so no way would I get it as a first name.

Naming one was hard enough, and @AlexandPea if teachers are going to judge me based on a name rather than any interaction from me, I suspect the shop sialed with DS my PFB
