lady i met in a playgroup had 3 year old twins tom and richard and a brand new baby girl Harriet.

swear to god, never had the nerve to ask her if she had named them deliberately...

also when i was at school there was a kaspar and vaspar, and their surname was kasparian!

I know of twin boys called Callum and George (as in George best and his son Callum).
The mother says they didn't realise and I believe her, but I have to wonder if the dad had a clue!

I knew a girl at school NAtalie, her sister was Natasha (which is a translation of the same name).

hana · 25/02/2008 21:32

I know twins in Canada called Liam and William

serious

PotPourri · 25/02/2008 21:32

Mark and Spencer!?! How could you not notice that?? I do think the names should 'go' reasonably well, as someone else said - it's just not right to have a Trixibell and a Jennifer

moljam · 25/02/2008 21:32

My friend had 4 kids with 4 vowels, (accidently) We wanted her to go for number 5 but there aren't that many names beginning with U, especially for a boy (Uriah?)

choccypig · 25/02/2008 21:23

I don't think you should name them in clumps. Whether they are singles or multiples.
But I do think you should consider the other names. I feel it's unfair for one DC to be Clementine Marmalade, and the other one plain Jane.
Would advise against matching initials, else When they are older they'll be opening each others private letters.

barbamama · 25/02/2008 21:23

I know a Charlie and Lola

Thomcat · 25/02/2008 21:22

I think sibling names should complement each other, but not go together in a Jack and Jill, Maisy and Daisy way. more like a Charlotte and Jessica and a Daniela and Benjamin type way. I think it's might feel odd if you call one child Emma Louise and the other Ziggy Moondust.
