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?

My thoughts too doodlejump

DeRigueurMortis · 29/09/2020 22:14

Too out there?

Yes- like well beyond the solar system....

Please don't give you ideas to name them Jupiter and Neptune...

TimeStoleMyYouth · 29/09/2020 22:14

How about Knight and Day?

DimidDavilby · 29/09/2020 22:14

Ah ye? Right.

shivermetimbers77 · 29/09/2020 22:17

No, I’m sorry, it sounds like a parody, like something out of ‘Absolutely Fabulous’. If you like the seasons then how about the names June, Summer or Autumn?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 29/09/2020 22:21

I quite like the names individually, but not as a pair.

Winter is nice but not too 'out there'.

Heronwatcher · 29/09/2020 22:22

Seriously can you imagine calling them over in the playground? One of the names is bad enough but ye gods both together! Seriously OP there are some lovely nature/ seasonal names to choose from- Autumn, Willow, Hazel, River, Ivy, Rosemary, Robin etc, which don’t sound like special edition my little ponies.

Thank you for this, I have had a really shit day and needed a laugh.

FriendofDorothy · 29/09/2020 22:25

Proper wanky names.

LorW · 29/09/2020 22:27

Another pagan here and I would say no 😬 sorry.

12309845653ghydrvj · 29/09/2020 22:31

NO

SageRosemary · 29/09/2020 22:33

Noel and Noelle
Declan and Dectere
Santa and Claws (we are talking cats here?)
Luna and Looney

Hope you are having a lovely day off school.

Mummyoflittledragon · 29/09/2020 22:36

Does you remember the Tune to the scientific TV programme Equinox? I’d be in creases....

clairethewitch70 · 29/09/2020 22:36

What about Mabon & Litha ? Grin

ladykuga · 29/09/2020 22:36

Consider that your children will eventually go to school. Saddled with those words as names is not going to do them any favours.

BaronessBomburst · 29/09/2020 22:36

Marmalade and Chutney if they're orange tabbies.

Sounds like credit reference agencies. Please don’t.

Fairybatman · 29/09/2020 22:41

You could call then in together by shouting sox Grin

I thought they sounded like more fragrances of Lynx aftershave.
Trixie18 · 29/09/2020 22:42

Please don't give your children these names Hmm

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 29/09/2020 22:43

They don’t make sense as a pair. The equinox and the solstice are always three months apart.

springiscoming12 · 29/09/2020 22:43

Wtf

Not unless you have the longest labour in history.ConfusedGrin

Some other ideas....
Braxton and Hicks
Lea and Perrin
Harley and Davidson
Or my fave boy twin names, Castor and Pollux.
