Names for Girls and Boys - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mnogaya Leta. Congratulations. May they blossom and grow and run in green fields and walk in enchanted forests and come out having defeated the witch and captured the treasure, as the happy tales go.

Moxie and Pepsi are good twin names, not to mention the fact that they hail from the underrated Bored of the Rings.

Another good one is Eagle and Child. Or, if you want to go casual, Bird and Baby.

Seriously though, congrats, and good luck. My mum has an identical twin, they're loads of fun. And sometimes they're not so fun, but we won't get into that. Their names, if you're interested, are Tatiana and Natalia.

Cheers!

Clearly I have been gone too long! Fordim, I have no idea when you'll see this post, as you and the missus are probably still in the throes of sleep deprivation and in no state to check messages. But accept my heartfelt wishes of good and joyful lives for your new babes.

For a boy and a girl: Hopwell and Heather?
For two girls: Rose and Lila, Esmerelda and Pearl, or to go back in Hobbit history, Belladonna and Miradonna.
For two boys: Merry and Pippin, or Frodo and Samwise...I know, so obvious, but how could we pass up the opportunity?

In view of the rarity of twins among Hobbit-kind, I think they deserve more than the run-of-the-mill in the selection of their names. Perhaps something a bit grander?

Girl and boy:
Hareth and Haldir
Elenna and Elfwine
Eomer and Eowyn

Girls
Rian and Morwen
Arwen and Luthien
Elenna and Eressea

Boys
Hador and Halmir
Huor and Tuor
Holdwine and Elfwine

We've decided to go with Inky and Stinky but thank you all for the suggestions.

Oh, you nasty, nasty papa! I rather liked "Eagle and Child".

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-26-2006, 01:27 PM

Inky and Stinky, eh? And here I'd have guessed Slinker and Stinker.

My sincerest congratulations, Papa Hedgethistle, if I've not given them before now.

as opposed to starting a new thread ill add on here

I feel bad for my future son,

His name will be Ian Andrew Gandalf Mag.....

Or just Iam Andrew Mag...(so his initials are the enigmatic I am)

or Samwise Andrew Magu....(which makes his initials S.A.M.)

But Samwise means "halfwit" .... you would really want to call your son that?
