to think these twins' names are ludicrous?

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

I wouldn't show anyone any the DC's passports, no. There's nothing to see.

My great grandparents were Dick and Fanny.

I've met brothers (can't remember if they were twins or not) called Ronnie and Reggie.

They'd be in their late 20s/early 30s now

Dick and Fanny (of Faraway Tree fame, not the twins the OP has met) were renamed Rick and Franny. Even Bessie is now Beth.

The fact that people appear to disbelieve me means that I'm NBU! 😁

It isn't uncommon for people to show their friends their kids first passports!

I feel cheated now. Some of our neighbours asked DH to be a countersignatory on the application form for their DC's first passport. They never bothered coming over to show us the shiny new passports when they arrived

Well in saying that I once worked for a place and we employed a company called Littlehampton, their site managers were called Steve Dicker and John Falick...true

Twins turned up in Reception at the school my Mum taught at called...Bonnie and Clyde.

Infamous gangster pairings seems to be popular.

I once knew of a child called 'Chlamydia' no word of a lie. She must be about 16 now. I don't know how it was spelt it but have always wondered how they got it passed by the registrar . The mum had special needs and thought it sounded pretty!!!!! I swear I'm not making this up.

There are twins locally called Comfort and Febreze.

Coconutty I believe you about the Dicks! They were living legends around Aylesbury! I don't know why it's amusing me so much again!!? Very childish I know! But glad someone else remembers them!

Someone just needs to mention the Le-a they once taught and we'll have baby name bingo...

There are twins locally called Comfort and Febreze.

No there bloody aren't!

Hahaha 3Busy. I remember a girl called chicuntala and a Mrs Whore. Its all possible I also know a little girl called Lettuce, maybe the mum is going to call the next one cucumber.

I've just text OH if he knew Everhard Dick...he asked if it was a joke

Lettice is a real name.

Oh gawd. They absolutely cannot come up here to Scotland to live. Fanny is used as an insult. Add Dick into the equation and....yikes. I hope they're not reading this bless them. Is it in anyway possible they haven't twigged and just think they are nice literary names?

Zariyah I know of twin boys called Ronnie and Reggie. Surprisingly, they're right little thugs what did they expect

I dont know how OH hadn't heard of the Dicks

Everyone knows everyone on that estate

So is what the OP said, so not sure what you mean Great?

Some one always turns up on these name threads who knows Chlamydia, she must be pretty popular too

Snopes

Rogan and Josh are the best names for twins ever. When I sell my naughty DCs and buy new ones I shall name them that.

Those poor children. Stupid idiot parents.

I did know a Bertie, Gertie & Jemima once. That's tame in comparison.
