Popcorn Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 We've just been laughing at this thread whilst out for a walk. We also got onto twins names, and remembered in the film Beverly Hills Cop there is a mention of twins called Monique and Unique - brilliant..... OH also knows twins called Shainiqua and Latifah...... We also know of a little girl, who looks like a mini, younger version on Deidre Barlow. She's called Whitney!! Names are only really ever important to you. There will always be someone who turns their nose up to your choice. Some names , however, are just asking for trouble! Sarah - that made me smile - "Devon Jevons" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozkate Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 We couldn't agree on any girls names. We thought of Isla but with a surname of White we just couldn't! Our god daughter was going to be called Iona, until we mentioned that it didn't really go well with Peacock! We have 2 boys and just knew their names when we saw them.
