Rebecca Romijn and husband Jerry O'Connell welcomed twin girls, Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tuli, on Dec. 28, her rep tells Usmagazine.com.

Thoughts?  Dolly was a definite shock.

Charlie is more of a shock for me. :\

Amen!

Really? My good friend named her daugher Charlotte and she goes by Charlie. I think it's adorable.

I read that Dolly is after Dolly Parton and Charlie is the name of Jerry's brother.

I don't like Dolly, Rebecca Rose would have been a lot nicer. They could have called her Rose or Becca or something... Charlie would be a cute nickname but I don't like it as a first name for a girl. Charlotte would have matched with Dolly much better imo. Dolly's whole name is so feminine and Charlie's is somehow so masculine. I don't like Tamara. Tuli means fire in Finnish but I don't know where they got the name from.

Dolly and Charlie just don't go together at all :/

I wonder if maybe it's Tulip, not Tuli. It'd make more sense, since Dolly's second mn is Rose.

[onzeminutos.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that would make sense! Though that would be even worse than Tuli imo :/

[italyatmidnight.livejournal.com]

According to Celebrity Baby Blog, it is Tulip. :/

Tamara and Rebecca could've been so much better. And does he have a brother named Charlie? I swear he did. Even Charlotte would've been great! Yikes.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

I don't mind Dolly & Charlie, but only as nicknames. The middles aren't too bad though.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Yeah...couldn't it have been Charlotte and Dorothy nn Dolly? That would have been so much better. I hate it when people don't use full names.

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

I agree completely!

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Exactly, then they would have something classic to fall back on and more options later.

[tiphanism.livejournal.com]

Yep. I hate abbreviations as given names. When they grow up to be senior government officials, or company directors or whathaveyou, they're going to want the option of grownup names.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Shame, I would have really liked Rebecca and Tamara a lot better. Neither of those names are my favorite but they are infinitely better than Dolly and Charlie. Those names seem so childish.

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

Dolly makes me think Dolly Parton, which makes me think "woman with huge knockers", and Dolly the cloned sheep.

I have bad associations with the name Tamara, which means palm tree.

I think they could have done worse, but I think they also could have done better. =/

If Charlie's second middle name is Tulip indeed, I suppose they chose it because Rebecca Romijn is Dutch? ;)

I think Charlie's actually sort of cute, but I don't like Dolly at all.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I'm not usually a fan of Dolly, but I think it actually sounds kind of nice. Dolly & Charlie don't sound good together, though, in my opinion ... Dolly is very girly in my mind, whereas Charlie obviously isn't. I don't mind names like Charlie as nicknames for girls, but I prefer it if the given name is Charlotte or something.

[kellyjoy.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I'm not liking Dolly and Charlie as a sibset at all - especially not for twin girls.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I wouldn't like matchy names either. But there's a huge difference between going well together and actually matching.

[blosmbee.livejournal.com]

Not the worst celebrity baby names I've seen by a long shot...
Rebecca Rose and Tamara are ok names.
Dolly just isn't my style- it seems like it should be a nickname for something, not a given name.
Charlie- ditto on the nickname thing. Charlotte would have been better. Also, it makes me think of Charlie perfume... Very 70's/80's.
Tuli- just seems very random considering the other names they picked. Is this a typo and supposed to be Tulip (to go along with Rose)? Maybe it's a family name... I don't know... I don't hate it, but wouldn't ever use it on my own kid.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

If they were my kids, I'd have gone with Dolores and Charlotte and just called them Dolly and Charlie as nicknames.

[amyames.livejournal.com]

Gross...

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Bad points:
-Dolly is a nickname only to me, short for Dolores.
-Same with Charlie. If you really want to use it on a girl, I say, name her Charlotte.
-Tulip: No, no, no.
-Rose: Harmless, but I still hate it.
-Alliteration in both names, ugh.
-Tamara is an overused 80's name to me, like Tiffany or Stephanie or Erin.

Good points:
-Well...I like Rebecca.

[patsfan610.livejournal.com]

i dont like either name

[twitchywoman.livejournal.com]

Wow those names make an incredibly bizarre set. They don't go together at all.

[i12bmore.livejournal.com]

Dolly and Charlie practically rhyme in my accent. I don't quite mind the names so much, but that could be in part because I have a female friend named Charlie (not sure if that's a nickname). I go ick more at the fact that I'm already sick of double middle names.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

I don't like any of those names. And isn't it Tulip, not Tuli?

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Well, I read months ago that they were using Dolly, after Dolly Parton, so that doesn't surprise me. Charlie, I didn't expect, but it's Jerry's brother, so it makes sense. I don't like Rebecca or Tamara, or Rose; I'm going to assume that Tuli is Tulip for now, and it's not awful. Better than Lily or Rose.

Overall, they're alright.

[tiarrajanae.livejournal.com]

I read somewhere a long time ago that she was planning to name one baby Dolly. These names are hideous.

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

ewww

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Dolly and Tulip? Wha?

Charlie? Uh...not a fan of Charlie on a girl. I'm waiting for the onslaught of creative spellings for Charlie as a feminine name. Charlee? Charleigh? It could get ugly...

I do like Rebecca and Tamara though. And it's not like they invented words/names that didn't even exist before. I'll give them that.

[kellyjoy.livejournal.com]

My sister (born in '88) has a friend named Charleigh.
