Should I mention my concern about this twin name pairing?

[Ellentelss]

Hey,

Looking for a little bit of advice, my DD is expecting twin girls, she has incidentally revealed their chosen names to me, and I’m a little worried that while individually the names are lovely, together they sound a bit “showgirl” or similar.
The names are Lola and Roxy. She lives in France but I can’t imagine the connotations are much better there. She didn’t tell me directly but she was on FaceTime showing me some things they’ve bought and there were a few personalised pieces with these names.

Should I mention it or just bite my tongue?

Bite your tongue.

Bite

Say nothing. You will come to love the pairing. X

None of your beeswax.
They work together.

Lola and Roxy are ok names for today's kids. Don't say anything

but wasn't there similar thread that also included "should I tell her" and "personalized baby stuff"

She hasn't asked for your opinion so don't give it.

Definitely bite your tongue. I think you can only ever comment if a name has a meaning the parents may not realise or haven’t twigged that the initials spell something unfortunate. Even then would need to tread with care! Not the case here I think the names are fine together! How exciting to be having twin granddaughters!

Tell her Roxy is a dog's name these days and suggest some other names to go with Lola.

Are you close?

Yes we are but I don’t want to upset or offend her if they are set on the names.

Well don’t

respect your daughter and SIL as adults with full capacity

there are several Roxy’s in my son’s primary school, and i can assure you they are all human!

Bite your tongue. If she’s personalising items then she’s already decided on the names without feeling the need to invite opinions from others . If you say anything you’ll no doubt upset her and I’m sure that’s not what you want .
Ive always found that when a baby’s name was not to my taste , the child has grown into it and subsequently it seems that they couldn’t have been called anything else . Those names are really quite pretty , I’m sure you’ll grow to love them.

This exact same thread has been posted before, with the exact same names and everyone said showgirl names.

Yes, I see what you mean OP. Lola on its own isn't too bad but Roxy is awful and the two together.... However, you must bite your tongue or face eternal wrath.

There is nothing wrong with those names except that you have a particular perception of them and don't like them. Neither of those things are enough for you to need to get involved with their naming. You will get used to the names and stop thinking about them in any other way that that they are your nieces.

oh… this would indicate the OP is a bit sketchy then. Poor daughter

I think that was Gigi and Lola, unless there was another one that I missed. I also think it was the babies mum who posted that.

If she’s in France, doesn’t she have to pick a name off some sort of approved list?

This.

She likes them enough to have it written on their clothing. Why would you purposely upset her by putting them down?

There's a few Lolas and Roxys around my area. Nothing wrong with those names. Although I prefer Roxanne rather than just Roxy

@Ellentelss Of course, you should say nothing. But I wouldn't be able to say nothing. Lola is tolerable, but Roxy is just awful.

Mind your own business!

Don't say anything. My mum doesn't especially like my name choices and when a friend if mine had a child, she said oh I live that name several times. It still hurts years later. I love the choices I made and you had your choices. Let her have yours and never tell her how you truly feel.

I quite like the names and I am a right snob 😂

however does your DD know that “ lolos” is slang for boobs in French?
