When these twins arrived, a mum felt rushed for the choice of first names… And it was only after she realized that they bear the first names of a cartoon duo .

The choice of first name is sometimes complicated and some parents prefer to wait until the last moment to decide. This is what happened to a mother who had just given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, when it was necessary to choose the first names! She tells on the Mumsnet forum that she didn’t feel well right after giving birth and that’s when she was asked the first names of the children… And even if the first names she chose please her, they come too close to an iconic cartoon duo.

Under a pseudonym, the mother explains: “I have twins that I decided to call Charlie and Lola. Don’t get me wrong, I love both names but I feel like I made the wrong decision and I always have awkward reactions when people ask me what their name is. I had my doubts originally when I chose the first names, because I had been on Tramadol for days and feel like I may have rushed the decision. Now she doubts her choice…

Twin names: she asks Internet users for help

The mother must now go and register the first names of her twins, but she does not know if she should change them or not. She tells : “I have to go register names soon and I feel under pressure to make a decision by then. If I change a first name, it will be from Lola to Lila, so just one different letter and not too confusing for anyone, including the baby. I’m afraid they’ll be made fun of because of the ‘Charlie and Lola’ cartoon. My partner thinks I’m ridiculous but I’m the one who spends the most time with other parents and their children. I always dread the reaction of people when they ask me their first names.

In the comments, Internet users reassure the mother. If she wants to change her daughter’s name, she can. But if she keeps it, it’s also her choice! They did not hesitate to congratulate her on the arrival of her twins, regardless of their first names.
