Twin baby names - Equinox and Solstice?

[seasonstweetings]

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?

But they’re not twins. They are the opposite.

If you want them to be constantly taken the piss out of then yes, go for it!

Please don’t do it

OP do you even know what these words mean?
what Zoya said

It's a school night....shouldn't you be in bed?

Oh dear ....

I'm going to go against the grain a bit and say as a duo I quite like them.
However I think they'd suit a pet better

In the unlikely event that this is real, don't be so bloody ridiculous

Poor kids

If they are girls, Holly and Ivy would be sweet. Having enjoyed threads about unusual and hard to pronounce names, I appreciate the simplicity of pretty yet straightforward ones.

Alban Arthan is a Welsh term for winter solstice.

Amazing op. I hope that they are born under the moonlight with the sound of the waves in the background, sand between your toes and star dust in your hair.

Honestly, I’m a ridiculous hippy but no. You will forever have people asking why and if you know anything about the words.

Do you have an older child named Balonz?

Holly and Ivy would be bloody awful. Can you imagine how many times the poor kids would get the first couple of lines of the carol sung at them by some idiot who thought they'd never heard it before? How many parody versions they'd have to endure until they were both full grown (and probably thereafter).

December babies.

Holly, Robin, Ivy, Christmas, Mary, Joseph, Donkey.

No, and you will be subjecting your kids to bullying

Awful. Both of them.

Oh god

They sound awesome. Both of mine have weird, earthy, nature inspired names. As an identical twin myself, with very boring, matching names, I think yours are inspired.

And you could even give them more boring middle names (as I did) but, even as adults, mine never used them, nor have ever been teased for their names.

I think that providing a given name isn’t rude, or derogatory, or hateful, then why not. Better than one of 5 Sarahs or 1 of 4 Debbies in the class (in my secondary form).

(As an ex-teacher, I remember the kids with the odd names. The usual suspects & popular names all blur into one).

Lovely for little kittens

For baby humans .... NOOO !

Please don't do that to your children

Absolutely go for it.

You know the Equinoxes are in March and September not December?

Terrible idea, don’t do it.

Any other suggestions?

Emma, John, Sarah, James, Elizabeth, Ian, Harriet, Anthony, Victoria, Thomas, Kate, Alexander, Rose, Edward, Emily, David ... anything but Equinox and Solstice, frankly.
