Robert & Roberta

[Malala]

I know someone with DC (not twins) who effectively have the male and female version of the same name. Not Robert & Roberta, but just to give an example. Her choice, don't care etc. but I don't understand why you'd give such similar names when there are thousands to choose from.
Would you do it? And why?

I know a married couple called Paul and Paula too. They are lovely people.

I know a Paul married to a Paula too! And siblings Shannon & Shane...

I know siblings called Graham and Grace. Although they start with the same sound the names feel different.

I knew siblings with basically the same first name (male and female form) and they even had the middle names Ann and Andrew. I also knew twins John James and James John. A bit unimaginative but up to the parents I guess.

My mum's cousins are John and Joan. I always thought that was a bit of an odd choice for a brother and sister.

I also know a family with brothers called Zac and Isaac, and another one with Albert and Alban.

I don't know a Paul/Paula married couple, but I do know a Max/Maxine one and one where both the husband and wife are called Ravinder.

I know siblings Leigh, Leah and Harleigh

Also know a married couple both called Chris.

I actually know a couple Robert and Roberta! It's cute for them.

I had a friend in primary school who had older twin siblings called Micheal and Michelle

I know someone with two boys called Henry and Harry. Same name, right?

I know sisters named Evie and Ivy.
I always think it's weird that they couldn't come up with basically more than the one name for their two children.

I know someone with a Milly and a Billy

Oh and the dads called Billy too which makes it even more bizarre

My ex mil was called Gwendolyn and her sis was Lynn.

I went to school with an Eric and his sister Erica. Their dad was called Eric.
DH has married couple friends called Ali and Ali (Alasdair and Alison).
On TV the other night there was a couple called Nick and Nicola.

A relative of mine gave her 3 DC names that all rhymed with each other, think Tracy, Stacy and Lacy...

She thought it was cute

I know a Micheal and Michelle siblings

I don't know any couples called Paul and Paula but I've know siblings with those names, or rather I knew their younger brother, whose name was completely unrelated. I think Paula was older than Paul - I'm guessing Paul was their dream name and they used Paula in case they never got to have a Paul!

I've known siblings called Michael and Michelle too.

Also known a couple both called Chris but obviously short for different names.

I know a couple called Billie and Bill and cupcake Simon Gregson off of Corrie has kids called Henry and Harry I think and I was a bit when I saw it in OK or whatever magazine as they are the same damn name!

DH sort of has the male version of a female name. I know a Janet and John couple as well.

My great granny had twins and named them Paul and Pauline. I always thought that was a bit odd!

DH has a colleague with a Harrison and a Harriet.

I know a married couple Kim and Tim.

I know a Kristian and his brother is Christopher. Weird

I know a family with a Harry and Barry.
Also siblings with evan and efa (pronounced eh-va so basically Evan without the n at the end)
