deepdarkwood · 26/04/2010 12:34

God, no.

scurryfunge · 26/04/2010 12:35

Only if you want people to take the piss constantly

Lotkinsgonecurly · 26/04/2010 12:37

No, I really wouldn't. How about something similar Ava, Evie ( actually maybe not), or something beginning with L, Lara, Lauren, Lottie, Lizzie?? Or Isabelle and different variations of those?

Tillyscoutsmum · 26/04/2010 12:40

No - sorry - it just doesn't work. Alex ? Marcus ?

Lotkinsgonecurly · 26/04/2010 12:47

Oh dear , completely misread the post.

So for boys names !!! How about, Jack, Josh, Joseph, Jake, or something similar.

Prinpo · 26/04/2010 12:55

Really, anything but Adam.

southeastastra · 26/04/2010 12:57

5DollarShake · 26/04/2010 13:36

Do you really have to ask?

TheFallenMadonna · 26/04/2010 13:37

Nope.

sophiesmummie · 26/04/2010 13:46

Are you serious or is this a wind up?

boodleboot · 26/04/2010 13:59

this must be a joke non??

GladioliBuckets · 26/04/2010 20:10

Is like in Emmerdale when Viv named her twins Heathcliff and Cathy. The gift of being plagued by incest jokes all their lives is rather a cruel one IMO.

Ineedsomesleep · 26/04/2010 20:12

Surely this is a troll?

pointydog · 26/04/2010 20:14

no no no

liliputlady · 26/04/2010 21:29

Sorry but I think it wouldn't be the end of the world - Oscar, Eve and Adam. Why not? It's not like two children Adam and Eve.

The majority of people will know the children as individuals once they get to school age and won't even make the connection.

But I'm clearly in the minority! Have you asked your RL friends and family?

stressheaderic · 26/04/2010 23:20

Alex is a bit like Adam, as just as nice. So is Andrew.

BikeRunSki · 26/04/2010 23:30

I vetoed Eve (depite it being my Granny's name) because DH is Adam. Bump was a boy, which is just as well, as the only name we coudl agreed on was a boys name.

Alan?
Aiden?
Aran?
