So not only did SJP and Matthew Broderick have twins, they’ve generated double the press with their name choices.

First came the announcement that the girls were named Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.

    I love Mel for naming his baby Lucia! And he has a great eye for names, because his other children have great names too.

    Definitely some interesting naming news this week, I particularly like Tobin Jack, Lucia and Willow Lenora. With the latter, I like the balance of modern vs 18th-century chic. I also really like Kai, but not Wayne too much, I think they are too abrupt together.

    October is definitely an interesting name, its a bit of a guilty pleasure, I’ve liked it ever since I saw it in a movie with Dominique Swain and Edward Norton called Down in the Valley. Dominique Swain plays a character named October, whom they affectionately call Tobe.

    Flora Isabella Minette is very sweet, I like Hero Charlotte Moranna in a weird way.

    Yikes! Kalob makes me want to say kay LOB – like I’m throwing the letter k.

    I love the idea of getting Verity from Vera!

    Verity is on our lists should another future child be a girl. Since Roseanna was named after her paternal grandmother, we’ve thought it might be nice to choose a name based on my own mother’s name, which is Vera. Plus, it cuts down the endless-debates-that-lead-nowhere.

    My husband and I have just joined a couples Bible study at which we met a couple with a little boy named Kalob. My eyes nearly leaped out of my sockets when I realised how “Caleb’s” name was spelt.

    I can’t help it, I see Snoo, and I think of Futurama. There was an episode where they landed on the planet of Amazonia, and they called sex ‘snoo-snoo’. This is the only thing I can think of when I hear Snoo. Maybe it’s a typo for Snow?

      Yes! Snoo-snoo. That’s exactly where my mind went.

    Don’t panic! Snoo is a familial middle name. The actual surname is rather nice. A diminutive of Alice 😉 If the Brits gave up their Boo-ness for Snoo-ness, I’d think it was time to go rock in fetal position in a dark corner somewhere.

    I had a little squee over spotting Hero (Charlotte Moranna) too. I think I’ve seen another Hero since June this year when this particular Hero was born. I will have to check.

    Pollys are springing up in the Times and the Telegraph every week. It’s great.

      No, I’m mistaken. It was 2008 – a Hero Petra. Must have been a Times’ Hero I’m thinking of. Incidentally, Hero Charlotte Moranna’s mother is a Henrietta which is fab.

      Boo, Snoo, schwoo!

      I’m not brave enough to use Hero, but I just love to see her in the BAs.
