Help[Opinions] British twins
A sad story with a happyish ending: four-year-old twins, put in care because their mother has serious alcohol problems, were snatched by her and for a few days they could not be found. Now they have been, so that's all right.
The names of the little brother and sister: Billy Blu and Vixen Rae, ln Francis. (Father is William Francis, mother is Natasha.) Any thoughts?

I'm not a fan of Billy Blu at all (William Blue maybe), but Vixen Rae is so very sad.
At first, Vixen made me think of a fox because that's the proper name for a female fox, but then I thought about how people (at least in the US) use that to refer to a girl who's a tease or acts coy. That's not exactly something I'd label my daughter with. I don't want people thinking that about her as soon as they meet her.
I'm glad their safe, but wow, how sad about those names.

While Billy Blu isn't my style, it's a name that I could at least live with. I wouldn't *hate* introducing myself as Billy (that is, if I were male!), though I'd much rather my name be William...
Vixen, on the other hand, is a completely different story, for all the reasons mentioned by previous posters. :/
Olympia, I kind of like. I think that it works as a substitute for Olivia, and she could always go by Ollie or Pia if it was "too much name". Do you happen to know her middle name, if she has one?
Overall, a very, very, very mismatched sibset.

*blushing* (PG)
Billy Blu is ok but so not my style. About Vixen... Apart from the English meaning which I would not call very flattering, I'd recommend her to go by Rae if she ever plans to visit Germany. There is a German word "wichsen" pronounced exactly like English "vixen" and it means to jack off.

I don't think that Billy should be used as a full name in its own right. It should be a nickname for William, and even then, I prefer Will. I actually do like Blue, only as a middle name, as in Cher's son Elijah Blue, but I do think that it should have the E at the end. However, the alliteration of Billy and Blu makes the combo sound silly.
Vixen is a horrid name. Vixen is a term for a sexually provocative, devious, selfish woman, and as such should not be used as a name. I don't care for Rae. I can well believe the mother has serious alcohol problems, giving her children names such as Vixen and Billy Blu.

Also Natasha Francis' 16 year old daughter from a previous relationship is named Olympia.

With the charming nickname Limp? Dear me. But it is better than Vixen!

They sound as if they were named while "under the influence".
