What about Chas 'n' Dave?

BlueDucky · 03/06/2021 16:51

Not for human babies

Misseasteregg · 03/06/2021 16:53

Heard the song as soon as I saw the thread

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 03/06/2021 16:53

Macca and Mikey.

Not ebony and ivory.

You may as well go tibia and fibula.

SilverOtter · 03/06/2021 16:57

Gin and Tonic?

PetraRabbit · 03/06/2021 17:03

Not together! I actually really like Ebony for a darker skinned or black haired baby- it's a name for an attractive woman I think- but please don't use it on a blonde or pale baby! I think Ivory isn't particularly nice. It sounds too much like a mash-up of other popular names at the moment.

Ebb and Flow??

Anoisagusaris · 03/06/2021 17:07

Dumb and Dumber?

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 03/06/2021 17:08

SageRosemary · 03/06/2021 17:09

I'm guessing this is a one post only thread by the OP who is on school holidays

Rfjkf · 03/06/2021 17:10

Erm. No. Just no

IsThePopeCatholic · 03/06/2021 17:11

No. Don’t.

PuppyMonkey · 03/06/2021 17:12

I prefer his Songs in the Key of Life phase. Grin

Ninkanink · 03/06/2021 17:14

Milli & Vanilli would be far better IMO.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 03/06/2021 17:14

Charles and Eddie
Millie and Vanilli
Oh please let this be a joke

alexdgr8 · 03/06/2021 17:15

it's the keys on a piano, isn't it. not names for people.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 03/06/2021 17:15

Haha great minds @Ninkanink

OnTheBenchOfDoom · 03/06/2021 17:17

The second I saw the thread title I sang the song Grin

OP did you know there is a famous song? Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder? So not exactly unknown artists. Reached number one in both the UK and the US so although you may be too young to have been around to hear it in 1982 a lot of people will have heard it.

CandyLeBonBon · 03/06/2021 17:17

Crockett and Tubb?

Ninkanink · 03/06/2021 17:17

CandyLeBonBon · 03/06/2021 17:18

What about Peaches and Cream?

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 03/06/2021 17:18

Endangered tree species and endangered animal parts.

Might as well go for Sumatra (as in Rhino) and Western (as in Lowland Gorilla).

EnjoyingTheSilence · 03/06/2021 17:18

Please tell me this is a joke

TheVanguardSix · 03/06/2021 17:20

Tuuuune!

ForkedIt · 03/06/2021 17:23

Love them, I’d argue they go together in perfect harmony xoxo
