Rachel and Nicholas were expecting twins, siblings for their first child. They wanted names that fitted in with contemporary trends without being too popular. They picked out names for two girls fairly easily, but later scans revealed that they were having a boy and a girl.

Rae and Nick’s twins arrived safely in July, and their names are

CHARLOTTE MAE and BENNETT GEORGE,

a sister and brother for Mason.

Rae and Nick had a long list of “name rules”, which was making it hard for them to decide on names they really loved. The names they ended up choosing break several of their rules, but sound so lovely together that you can see they did the right thing by picking them.

It’s good to have rules, but always remember – they are your rules, and it’s for you to decide whether you want to follow them.
