to think this is a bizarre thing to do when naming twins.

NCed for this. I work in a school. we have twins coming.

TWIN1 is called: Roseanne
TWIN2 is called: Rosy

No lies.

why would you do that?

2010Aussie They should have used Elaine instead of Sharon

I follow Fopperholic on Instagram and she's recently posted all through her (ivf) pregnancy journey. They've called their resulting twin boys Grayson and Lawson. Either name on its own is ok, together it's just a bit too matchy-matchy for me! Twin names should go nicely together, but not in a 'we'll be dressed identically into our 50s' type way!

I also know a Jamie James, and an Alana who's got a brother (not her twin) called Alan.

My twins have very similar names to Jacob and James - one is the same as one of those names and the other is different but also starts with J. I love their names 🤷‍♀️

I know lots of twins and some names are a bit nuts. I spoke to one twin Mum who called her girls Mia and Maya. There’s also a Ronnie and Reggie in my local twin group.

I have a mate Jack, with sisters Jemma and Jodie. His children are John, Jaime, Jaden, Jesse, and another one who I can't remember but it begins with a J.

Although, a boy in the year above at school was named Alan Allen, which I think trumps the lot.

i went to school with Edward and Edgar

We knew a family of four children - Shane, Wayne, Dwayne and Sharon
I knew a guy called Cain. His brothers were Shane and Wayne.

I really hope that Tim and Tom mentioned upthread had a sister, Tamara. ... to be fair Timothy and Thomas are not that alike.

Now wondering if we all know the same Ronnie and Reggie or if there are a few...

My boys often wear coordinating or matching clothes. They’re not even 2, they don’t care what they wear but it’s much easier for me to spot them at soft play or toddler groups!

Met a brother and sister once named Ciara and Ciaran

My face was like:

I knew two sisters - Mercedes and Porsche.
At first when I heard Porsche I thought it was Portia - but no it was written Porsche.
They were from a a very wealthy family and the only expectation of them was to marry well which I believe they did and probably drove round in cars with the same name as them

It's almost a shame Katie Price hasn't had twins, with sisters, Princess and Bunny, can you imagine...!

I'd put my money on Pinky and Perky

I knew a Logan with a sister called Brogan.

I know of a girl who called her boy Billy, and gave him a middle name of William. He was named after her dad and grandad.

We have two sets like that in Y1! Both identical twins, too.
(these are not the actual names, but follow the pattern)

Paul and Saul

Maximus and Maximillian

I knew one of the security guards at university who was called James and he had 5 sons all called variations on the name James: James Jnr Jimmy, Shamus, Hamish, Jago etc.

And yes he was a massive egotistical twat.

I know a Bonnie and Clyde
