Two friends have had twins recently. Their littluns are called

William and Lucy
and
Holly and Emma

I can't help thinking of them as

William and Mary (King and Queen of GB!)
and
Holly and Ivy

Any other twin names that should have been....

I know a set of twins called Billy and Joel.

Their parents claimed it had nothing to do with the singer!

Fil is called Jack his twin sister is Jill

StrictlyTory · 06/07/2010 21:05

I know a bro and sis called Sam and Ella

The Mum isn't English so I don't think she knows what it means to have Sam and Ella... however her husband is English so it was his place to say something not mine!

BudaisintheZONE · 06/07/2010 21:08

My sis has twins - Ella and Tom. But a friend of theirs tells everyone that the boy is called Sam. Sis not amused! She was threatening to call them Bernie and Bertie all way through pregnancy. And they were Xmas babies so Mary and Joseph was suggested. Or Noel and Noeleen.

I always wanted kittens/twins (whichever came first) called Belle and Sebastian. I can't have either now though as I stupidly used one of the names for a DC.

Ariel and Daz
