Brad Says ‘No’ to Castor and Pollux
Tags: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, brangelina, names
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are apparently at odds over names for their unborn twins. Female First says
Gemini Angelina reportedly wants to name the babies Castor and Pollox after the twins of her birth sign, but Brad has dismissed the suggestion as he doesn’t want a daughter with a name “like a British cuss word”.
I have to admit I think naming them Castor and Pollux would be kinda cool. I’m a huge mythology dork, and anyone who knows the story of the two brothers knows it’s a testament to an intense fraternal love immortalized by Zeus in the constellation that just happens to be Angelina’s zodiac sign. So apropos on so many levels, really. But if Brad wants to be such a Philistine, here are a couple more famous twin names I’d also tolerate:
10. Tiki and Ronde. Catchy! Get it?
9. Romulus and Remus. Only one day one of them might be Uncle Remus, which could present problems for Disney.
8. Ben and Jerry. Are they twins? Nobody knows. But they are responsible for Chunky Monkey, which, coincidentally, also makes a good twin name.
7. Patty and Cathy. Cousins who are twins!
6. Ann and Abigail.
5. Jacob and Esau. Tough call deciding which one is relegated to a lifetime of hirsute doltishness.
4. Zan and Jayna. Wonder twin powers activate! Form of: fetus!
3. Bee and Gee. That one really depends on how deep your love is.
2. Flossie and Freddie. And the mystery of the four-leaf clover!
and the number one name I’d tolerate for the Brangelina twins:
1. Luke and Leia. No… there is another!

Hate to admit this but I remember Castor and Pollux being the names of Nic Cage and his brother (played by Alessandro Nivola) in Face/Off. I loathe that movie but always wondered about the names. Maybe Brad is no Nic Cage fan??

Anyone who believes this story deserves to be run over by a Mac Truck because they are too stupid to live. I’m sure the kids will at least have girls’ names. That said, I think Larissa has the best suggestion so far, hehe.
