Ebony and Ivory

[bugsymalona]

Honest opinions on these.

For humans or kittens?

Ebony is quite pretty. Don’t like ivory - horrible associations with dead elephants.

If you’re considering them as a pair for twins / siblings then seriously just don’t, it’s ridiculous beyond words.

Live together in perfect harmony?

We all know that people are the same wherever you go. There is good and bad in everyone

Live together in perfect harmony?

Please don't for children. I have the song in my head already.

There is good and bad, in everyone...

Used together they must be names for pets - a black and a white kitten/ puppy/ rabbit/ rat sibling pair.

Ivory isn't a name and obviously has the poaching/ endangered wildlife/ bone yard about it.

Ebony is a name obviously - used alone (without pairing with ivory) its usable but obviously brings the expectation of a raven haired child... Still people do use colour names without them "fitting" (Bianca isn't always pale and blond) Ebony is at least a given name.

Ebony is fine, but not Ivory. And please please do not use both names for siblings/twins. It's just great too stupid.

*far too stupid.

Poor Ivory! That's just to fit in with Ebony. Step back a minute and imagine a child making her way alone without her sister there. "Hi, I'm Ivory....". Don't do it.

Salt and Pepper is nice though!

For twins or siblings? Absolutely not.

For a pair of rabbits, possibly.

You could do Ruby and Pearl instead (although it brings to mind characters in bad novels its a better pair). I suspect that the OP is looking for names for pets or fictional characters in a creative writing piece, not real human babies.

Ebony sounds like a stripper's name. Ivory isn't a name. Don't be so daft as to use them for actual real babies.

I really like Ebony. The one I know is blonde
Bianca or Chiara mean white and clear, if you would like a contrast.
Or Blanche?

Awful

No

Whisky and Soda?

Snow while and rose red?

For Gerbils or pot plants yes.

But only rodents or house greenery

for hamster? yes

children - absolutely fucking no way

Go for it! Love it for two little puppies

Bubble and Squeak?

For puppies, kitten, foals, rabbits? Lovely.

Not on humans.
