Twin baby names - Equinox and Solstice?

Hi, I’m having twins in December around the solstice and I love the changing seasons.
We’ve been thinking of naming them Solstice and Equinox, what do you all think? Too out there? Any other suggestions?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

( is this real?)

If so, no.

If you are desperate to use the names, get kittens. THAT would be adorable ....

No. No. No.

Too out there?

Yes

Sara2000 · 29/09/2020 22:02

Naff as hell

NataliaOsipova · 29/09/2020 22:02

Yes, too out there!

MaidenMotherCrone · 29/09/2020 22:02

As a Pagan I say no.

Matchy matchy makes on twins are naff IMO. Nice idea though. Why not go for a nature theme but pick actual names?

ArtichokeAardvark · 29/09/2020 22:04

The poor kids. Either name would raise eyebrows on its own, but as a pair for twins they could be teased mercilessly.

Unless of course your family are druids?

NannyR · 29/09/2020 22:04

I would say too out there (Quinn and Solly would be cute nicknames though!)

Marmite133 · 29/09/2020 22:05

Not a big fan, sorry! Lots of other seasonal names...

Summer and Autumn?
October and April?

PurplePansy05 · 29/09/2020 22:05

I thought this was The Litter Tray board.

Deadringer · 29/09/2020 22:05

I immediately thought of kittens too. Daft names for children.

Collision · 29/09/2020 22:05

Utterly dreadful

DrDetriment · 29/09/2020 22:06

Don't even think about it OP.

Littlefish · 29/09/2020 22:06

Ha ha ha ha.

No.

juicylemon · 29/09/2020 22:06

Oh don't be so silly!

Figgygal · 29/09/2020 22:07

Please don’t

Equinox sounds like a cat medication before anything else

Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 29/09/2020 22:08

I don't see why not. It's a very hippie vibe and that's fine. They'd probably have nicknames.

speakout · 29/09/2020 22:08

Awful- sorry.

LiveFromHome · 29/09/2020 22:09

Ridiculous.

Craftycorvid · 29/09/2020 22:10

Crikey, no! Another Pagan saying this is not a good idea.

WarriorsComeOutToPlayay · 29/09/2020 22:10

Unless your surname is something like Pendragon it’s just going to feel like an anticlimax.

MonkeyPuddle · 29/09/2020 22:10

You’re naming people. Not toys or pets.

Fast90 · 29/09/2020 22:10

Haha omg

doodlejump1980 · 29/09/2020 22:11
