Toddlers - Dick and Fanny.
Not short for anything, apparently. British family.
Lordy.

They are probably called Richard and Frances and the parents are introducing them as Dick and Fanny.

Urban myth surely

Sorry, don't know why the thread has posted twice.

Not nicknames. It's their real names. Last name is commonplace.

Mind you after seeing twins Viktory and Success, nothing surprises me.

No, it's their Birth Certificates names.

I know its a bit cruel posting, but I don't understand why the parents thought it a good idea.

They seem like pleasant, normal people.

Do they have an older brother called Tom?
I realise the 3rd one should be Harry but it still works

How do you know these people?

My middle name is Fangina which people often laugh at but its a very normal name where I am from

Off topic but I knew a guy called Willie Dick (first name and second name) and another guy who really was called Richard Head.

They're real. I met them today.

I just don't understand why the parents would do it.

No other children, so no other names to report on.

I think they'll be avid tree climbers in a few years, right into the clouds...

Parents are swingers. Real Enid Blyton fans would've gone for Julian and Anne.

Do they have wicker hearts in their window?
