Judged for my kids' names?!

[HughGrantFan28]

Hi fellow mums! I'm new to the site, not too sure how it all works LOL
I have always been a massive Oasis fan (sorry Blur fans) and they have influenced me and inspired me throughout my entire life, so when i found out i was having two little twin boys, i thought it would be amazing to name them after the Gallagher brothers! I thought it was a sweet idea, but people seem to frown and laugh thinking it's a joke!! Have to say it does hurt a bit. All the best, Catherine xx

Liam and Noel (is that their names) are actually pretty nice mainstream names. It’s not like it’s a Ringo type name or whatever

It IS pretty funny..

I know twins called Ronnie and reggie too

Oh dear

Not a fan of either name. Can also understand that when naming two children at the same time within the same family it'll seem a bit strange/funny to some people. But then... names are a bit of a polarising thing anyway and it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks 🤷🏼‍♀️

People just laugh about it because of the concept of being named after Oasis

You didn’t go for Hugh and Grant then OP?

Should've made those the middle names haha

I'm not surprised they laugh really.

@HughGrantFan28 these names are really nice but they cancel each other out

I suppose it's a little funny...still a bit sad though

Yep...hopefully they won't have a lifelong argument like the real Liam and Noel

John and Lewis?

If it makes you sad, don't theme your children's names after a passé band involving famously feuding brothers?

It is what it is and I'm sure you weren't daft enough to think it wouldn't happen.

Why not Hugh and Grant?

Mark and Spencer?

Apologies, been a long day.
I like Liam and Noel, wouldnt pick up on the Oasis thing unless it was pointed out to me.

I expected it as a little joke: that's inevitable! But I find it just a little unnecessary to be HORRIBLE about it...

My sons middle name is Noel after Gallagher. My other son has William as his middle name. Don't worry about it.

Some people just like to judge people.

Haha! Everyone picks up on it eventually, that's just what happens!!

Well, perhaps people think it's insulting to two babies to treat them as a sort of newborn tribute band...?

Are the babies already born and registered? If not then I would absolutely reconsider these names. Maybe keep them as middle names.

Aw thank you hun! William is a cute middle name x

They’re both lovely normal names. Noel is my favourite. My daughter is Noelle.
