to think these twins' names are ludicrous?

[lulucappuccino]

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

Emily and Amelia are the same name.

I have read the entire thread and my biggest concern is that hanging hearts in your window makes you a swinger?! I need to rethink some decorations...

Teresa Brown (green) 😂 brilliant!

I know of twins called Alfie & Freddie which I thought was ridiculous (both short for Alfred?) but apparently IABU with that

I knew a Wayne Kerr, a Dick Head, oh and a Mike Hunt! Not to mention a Dr Fingret.......

akissandacuddle I thought that too!!!!!
Why displayed in your window though? Are you inviting complete strangers nutters/deviants to randomly knock on your door for sex??? I've always thought the pampas grass one must've been started by some joker but this is a new one on me.

I went to school with twins called Bobby and JR.

I knew a jenny Taylor.

Pumper.

My mother taught a Richard Head in the 1970's. When she met him at a school reunion years later, he had changed it.

I had a tenant who was Michael hunt. And another one who was "nahida mann" (say it out loud....). And my friend knew a Ewan Kerr at university - the bar named a cocktail after him!

My mum knew a girl at school called Mary. She went on to marry a Mr Christmas. They ran a big pub for a few decades.

I went to school with a Richard Head. Not that uncommon.

I've taught a Lovedai, a Precious, a Princess, a Honeybunny, and a girl called Elvis. Also met a mum at baby clinic once with a baby girl "named after Jack Daniels". Jacqueline? Nope! Danielle? Nope! Tennessee, Nessie for short.

I know of twins called Luke and Leah.....but this is way better !,,

Our vet in Zimbabwe was called Everard Cock. True story. He's in the veterinary register.

I once knew two brothers called Wayne and Shayne. I also know someone who called her two sons the same names but the other way around which I've always been fascinated by - not their real names but think Matthew James and James Matthew.....

My primary school's office was staffed by two women named Mrs Lamb and Mrs Shepherd

Teresa Brown (green)

I know a brother and sister called river and tyne

Forgot my favourite twin names I've come across- Calvin & Klein. No joke. Also not twins but DP had a client called Yermaw Zahoor which is brilliant if you're scottish.

I don't believe that, sorry.

Liberated, it's pronounced ev-rud.

Toddlers - Dick and Fanny.

Chinny reckon

I know twins that on birth Certs and all legal docs their names are one and two!! Their "middle" names are the ones they go by!!! Also a girl called Pocahontas with a very hard sounding Scottish surname, a friend of a friend teaches her and she has changed her name in the last year ( think she must be about 16 now)

Colleague had kids called Sam and Ella
We took to referring to them as Ella and Sam. She segued into it too so no harm. And she was lovely and kids were too. Don't believe the D and F story btw - tho have noticed resurgence of name Tuppence which in 40s and 50s was slang for vagina. Go figure

Jimpam, that's brilliant (I'm Scottish).

My friend's ex-GF's brother was called Neil Downie. The ex had a very boring name.

One born once showed midwives discussing a parent who intended to call their daughter Chlamydia They were trying to disuade her

Secret, Emily and Amelia are not the same name. Emily has a Latin origin, whilst Amelia is Germanic.

Obviously, Emily and Emilia are the same name.
