Coldplay drummer welcomes twins. WDYT?
Will Champion, drummer for the band Coldplay, and his wife Marianne welcomed g/b twins earlier this month. Their names are:
Juno and Rex
They join big sister Ava who is 2.WDYT? I dislike both names, especially Rex - I just think of T-Rex. Ava is nice but very popular. As a sibset - I think it is very mismatched.

The only name of those three I like is Ava. Ava's kind of overly popular so I wouldn't name a kid that. I don't like Rex it reminds me of a pet dog and T-Rex

Wonderful. I love both Juno and Rex! Very retro-chic. :-)

I think its a neat twin combo.
To me, its very sweet that they wanted to give their kids "royal names", kinda their own version of King and Queen, which combined with the surname Champion is fun to me.
The Rex I know is my Apt Mgr and hes the greatest, so no dog associations for me, and Juno will always be more of a myth name than a movie.

I do not care much for Juno. I would rather have seen June. That would have been retro-cute.I love Rex. It is my grandsons middle name. When I posted about his name several months ago, several people said that they thought of Rex as a dogs name. I replied that my daughter and son-in-law are aware of the image that Rex has as a dogs name for a great many people, but they think that Rex is too nice a name to be hijacked by the dogs of the world.I feel this way also. If more people would ignore the dog connotation, and go ahead and use the name anyway, then it would lose that image. It is a great name.So I say kudos to Will Champion and Marianne for using it.(Apostrophe key trouble again.)

Ava, Juno and Rex...sounds fine to me
As two of the names are 3 letter I would propably look up for some 3 letter name to chance with Juno but...thay are ok

I like Ava, but think it is too common.
I love Juno and Marianne.
Rex is more of a dog's name imo.

I should have known that the celebs would pick up the name Juno! I like it, but don't think I could use it... I'd like to use it for a puppy though. My grandparents had a dalmation called Rex so I think of that as a dog's name too!S xx

Sibset rather mismatched. Juno is cute, Rex is OK-ish.

Spunky and diffrent. I love them. I love Rex. Juno is a great mythological name,too bad it was ruined by the movie.

I think its a really spunky sibset. I wouldn't use either Juno or Rex myself (I would use Ava) but they are great names

I really love both, but would probably only consider using Juno (I just can't shake the image of a dog when I hear Rex, no matter how much I may like the name). They might be a bit too much though, imo, as a twin set.Ava is nice, but very trendy (a Hollywood glamour type of trendy though, which I guess is the best kind).

I like Rex

Ava is okay, but very Hollywood-trendy. Rex and Juno together sound like animals in a zoo, like a pair of zebras or something. lol You're right, they don't seem to go with Ava at all.

I'm quite fond of Juno.

I really like both--especially Rex, as it wasn't featured as the title of a not-very-funny indie flick recently.Array
