I'm having b/g twins very soon and we're thinking of the following names:

Elena/Elena-Rose
Ruby
Caitlin

James
Cai
Alexander (Xander)

What do you think? I'd really appreciate your opinions

I like them all.

I love Cai for a boy, and have seen it spelt Kye as well, which is ok too.

(Have just been having a quick look at your profile - you made me rofl with the things people say!)

I always prefer more traditional boys names, so james and xander my faves there.

For a girl, i like Ruby a lot, tho' know its getting more popular. also like caitlin.

Ruby & Xander
Caitlin & Xander

James & Ruby
James & Caitlin.

hmmm..... Caitlin and Xander i think!

xxc

I like Caitlin and Xander.

Niecie · 05/12/2007 17:39

Alexander and Caitlin although Elena is nice. I don't really like double barrelled first names, though that is just me obviously and Rose by itself is nice(it is my middle name).

James is nice but there are too many of them about

jorange5 · 05/12/2007 17:41

All nice except Cai

MarsSelectionBoxLady · 05/12/2007 18:43

I like them all (I wanted a Kai) But DON'T do Cai and Caitlin far too "twinny"

TwinklyfLightAttendant · 05/12/2007 18:46

Likey the name Mars

These are all lovely, trip - any of them would get my vote!

MuffinMclay · 05/12/2007 19:05

Like Elena (Rose), Caitlin, James and Alexander. Like Cai, but only spelt as Kai.

Hate Ruby. Sorry .

LadyOfTheFlowers · 05/12/2007 19:10

Ruby was in the top 5 girls names for last year if that helps any - That's what put me off.

SoupDragon · 05/12/2007 19:11

Rather unusually for aname thread, they're all fine IMO

CrushWithEyeliner · 05/12/2007 19:14

don't like ruby or cai - all others lovely!

BrandyButterGalore · 05/12/2007 19:16

i like all, except cai for boy.

i think that 'cool' names, like tattoos, are things that you dont think youll change your mind about later, but you often do.

BrandyButterGalore · 05/12/2007 19:17

mind you last time i said i didnt like a name (years ago) i was emphatic, they went ahead anyway, and i was SO wrong, and SO embarrassed. its actually v classy and lovely, the name i vetoed. doh.

LuckyStarOfBethSalem · 05/12/2007 19:19

HI T&T - DPs nephew is called cai - she spells it Kai though. It's short for Malakai!

I love Ruby and James

GreatGlowingMerrily · 05/12/2007 19:24

Elena and James (1st choice)
or
Caitlin and Alexander (2nd choice)

BrandyButterGalore · 05/12/2007 19:29

i know a malachai (sp?)
is lovely name.

see? i was wrong again.

(caitlin and alexander is me and dp )

GreatGlowingMerrily · 05/12/2007 19:30

hijack...Cali, California is the Golden State

dingdongdooneygirlonhigh · 05/12/2007 19:37

Golden state is much better than Oregon--The Beaver State. I prefer to call it the rain state.

I'm veerrrrrrrrrry partial to Catilin, and it was my choice for DD. Don't like Ruby at all, too old-fashioned for my tastes. Elena's good, but pretty much every little girl I know has the middle name Rose or Grace.

I like James for a boy. Alexander was going to be DD's middle name if she was a boy.

belgo · 05/12/2007 19:44

I have to say, tripletsandtwins, your profile page is the funniest I've seen
