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

No there bloody aren't!

I beg to differ (having met them).

Vintage, could she possibly have been Mrs Hore or Hoar? Also, Lettice is a real name and was quite popular in Elizabethan England due to Lettice Knollys, the Countess of Leicester. Douglass was a common woman's name at that time too.

Comfort and Febreze

If you want to play Bingo around here then you need to have known a teacher who once taught a child called SOL which was short for Stadium Of Light.

Mind you I have come across some truly questionable but very real names personally.

DisappointedOne · 09/03/2016 20:14

Not twins, but one of my best friends, Jane, had a child with her ex, Rod, and they called him Freddie. Grin

SatsukiKusakabe · 09/03/2016 20:14

Well, you suggested Cucumber which isn't a real name, unlike Lettice.

A friend actually called her son Chilli..

DH and I are Richard and Frances Grin

I don't think I would call my child lettuce but if it floats your boat then so be it.

FayKorgasm · 09/03/2016 20:17

I know a woman called Eileen Dover.

SatsukiKusakabe · 09/03/2016 20:17

Comfort is a name.

Comfort and Febreze sounds like a piss take.

I also met a Bonnie and Clyde. They would be about 8 now.

I actually really like the name Bonnie but not paired with Clyde

I love Rogan and Josh Grin best names ever!!!

Twowrongsdontmakearight · 09/03/2016 20:20

Their next set of twins could be Titty and Roger!

LuluJakey1 · 09/03/2016 20:20

I went to school with someone who was called Everard Everton. Hmm

MadHattersWineParty · 09/03/2016 20:22

I read about twins called Ronnie and Reggie in Take a Break quite recently.

So that's real.

But.... Dick and Fanny?

SirRodneyEffing · 09/03/2016 20:23

In a backwater provincial town near me there are girl twins blessed with the first names Beardsley & Shearer after their fathers favourite footballers.

Tollygunge · 09/03/2016 20:23

I know twins called Ronnie and reggie! My friend teaches twins called dolce and Gabbana.

one of the mums at school is called 'Loveday'. Tame I know and a bit cruel posting but my dc find it hilarious! Really hoping it's a common name so I'm not semi-outed!

Dolce & Gabbana are referenced here ^ too!

HelsBels3000 · 09/03/2016 20:27

3 My friend's daughter is called Loveday - she's primary school age.

SatsukiKusakabe · 09/03/2016 20:31

I think Loveday is a nice name, it's Cornish.

x2boys · 09/03/2016 20:32

If I had boy girl twins I really like the name eve for a girl and Adam for a boy .

clairemum22 · 09/03/2016 20:33

Is loveday a Cornish name?
