Denver & Dallas for twins

[Greenisbeautiful]

I am 31 weeks pregnant and my husband keeps insisting on the names Denver and Dallas for our identical twin girls. He told his entire family (without my knowledge) that it was the names WE picked. Personally I find it ridiculous.

My favorite names are Aurora and Elisa or Lola and Helena.

What do you think ?

Btw I am American and he is British. I am from Chicago, Illinois. So far away from Denver,Colorado or Dallas, Texas.

Or Henrietta Rose and Eleanora Grace.

I wish lol. No , I just have 3 names I like (other than the originals in the op)

Athena , Nina and Carla.

Don't let him register the birth!

Oh! I like Eleanora! Thank you for the suggestion.

I find Rose and Valentina too 14th of February

Sorry but it makes me think of those awful 70s porn films 'Debbie does Dallas'

Would he compromise with one of yours and one of his?

Nina & Rose
Carla & Valentina

Look up the Denver airport conspiracy theories. That should put him off. If it doesn't, register them yourself with the nice names you've chosen and get a restraining order to stop him coming with you

I like dallas for a boy but i think you guys should name them london and paris

So Denver and Dallas are out.

London and Bridget too, I imagine.

I love some of your new ones
Ideas:

Carla and Rose
Eleonora and Edwina
Athena and Leonor
Vesna and Chloe
Alice and Tia

Given that the OP was 31 weeks pregnant in November 2022, what made you suggest names for the twins this morning, @Counrygirl29 ?

A million times better than Denver and Dallas.

How about Slough and Scunthorpe...

Helena, Charlotte, Savannah, Georgia, Alexandria, and Olympia are all nice if you want to go with American placenames.

Is it possible he told his relatives the babies would be Denver and Dallas to stop them from pestering him about names?

Otherwise, not funny.

Your H's alternative names are ridiculous.

Is he panicking about becoming a father? What is his problem? It's as if he has a mental block about the reality of the babies.

I'm not keen on your names either - Athena, Nina, and Carla - but at least they're not ridiculous.

Athena and Elisa would be nice.

@mathanxiety , OP was 31 weeks pregnant with the twins in November 2022.

Actually it is Lolita that is "short" for Delores!

@NoVibrato , Dolores -> Lola-> Lolita

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

(Back from the grave!) Was thinking of that! And oh dear, my spelling error.
