To think that this is a strange combination for siblings' names?

[chandlerbing]

And yes, I know it's none of my business blah blah blah. And for the record I do think that they are both lovely names, however...

A friend of a friend has a DD called Ava, and has just had a baby girl and called her Eva?

AIBU to think that that's practically like calling them both the same name? Plus it just sounds really twee.

I once worked with Concepta who had a twin sist Atracta

Haha. My DH Mum named all her boys the same, just changing first letter ~ he is from Middle East ~ can't give real names as will out myself but think along the lines of Bam, Cam, Dam, Fam, Gam and Ham (there's 6 brothers!) ~ crazy woman!!

lovesandsmiles, that reminds me - I taught a child whose two sisters had almost the same name as her- Rana, Jana and Sama. Also from the Middle East.

I know a Millie and Tilly.

My favourite is Derek and Dereka, one can only hope bachelor great-uncle Derek did leave them his fortune.

To the poster who is now worried about Scarlett and Oscar , it's fine. They don't sound the same-The "sc" sound isn't sounded in Os-car, it's not O-scar.

Also boy twins...Shaun and Shane.

Rudi and Rudolph here! Although thankfully Rudolph now insists "Call me Roy!"

I know a Melody whos sister is Elodie

a friends dad is Peter Peters

A (different) friend has 4 sets of sibling cousins called Nicola & Nicholas...they're greek and I've been told this isnt that unusual!

I knew a mum with a Kaileigh-leigh, Haileigh-leigh, Marleigh-leigh

I also know someone with a bella-leigh...which just sounds like Belly

Our neighbours have Fred and Ted . Have also known a Joe King. The best I've known are 2 sisters called Calais and Bologne. I kid you not.

And I forgot twins Claudette and Claudine.

Aren't Mario Falcone's sisters Giovanna and Giorgina?

I know twins Hector and Hester

Oh and my dad went to school with a Richard Richards

Austin was in my class, big brothers Dustin, Justin and Rustin!

Clearly not as odd/funny as we thought at the time..

My dad's stepmother was greeted by her new next door neighbours with a glad cry of "Hello! Please tell me your name is Jill. I know your husband's name is Jack. We're Victoria and Albert"!

Her name wasn't Jill.
