Ideas for boy/girl twins?

Preferably a bit Celtic as our ds's have scottish names. Our surname ends in 'son' so unfortunately can't use ones like Madison which I know isn't Scottish but I like!
To be even more difficult, nothing beginning with C/E/F or K as I'll get too confused with the rest of us!

Michael or Fergal and Morag or Finola/Fionnuala. DO they have to start with the same letter?

That was quick, thank you? Nope, don't have to be same letter, I was just thinking it would be nice if they were linked in some way. Hadn't heard of Fergal, nicer than Fergus I think which we had considered for ds2.

I love Finn and Flynn but dp said no last time, rats. I have 2 ds's already (five )! I actually quite like Douglas hate Doug when it's shortened. Perhaps I'll have to give up scottish theme as dp is so sodding fussy. I was all set on Gabriel (yes, I know not scottish) as I thought it was my turn but he's vetoed it. Have never considered girl's names before!

Isla and Fraser.

What are your other boys called?

Report
hunkermunker · 17/05/2008 22:51

LOL! Cross-posted with your Fraser. Not that then - would be a bit odd to have two called Fraser - but it's one of my very favourite names, so you could

Sinking in properly then AQ?

My cousin has a Freya and an Iona, they are both lovely (as of course is 1dilemma's suggestion of Fiona ). I'm useless at boy's names though, ds got the only one we could agree on!
