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?

Nigel and nigella I hope

I know siblings called Keira and Kieron

Bobby and Bobbie?

I know siblings (adults) called Brian and Briony.

Twins Emma and Emily

Wouldnt it be hilarious if all the posters who know a married couple paul and paula were actually all friends?!

I know siblings stephen and stephanie. Stephen's friends always joked that his parents actually wanted a girl and already had the name picked.

I know siblings Charles and Charlotte. I had know them about 2 years before I realised how similar the names are. They never get shortened though.

I'm fascinated by Will and Jada Smith's kids being called Willow and Jaden.

I have came accross sisters called Merle and Merlyn (not twins) which I thought was a bit too similar. Also sisters called Tia and Tiaami (also not twins)

My neighbours kids are Jodie and Joe.
Potentially Jo and Joe

i worked with a man called Chris, his wife was called Christine, his son Christian and their daughter Crystal. I thought he was winding us up at first, but no.

I know brothers William and Philip, who are known as Will and Phil

I knew a Paul and Paula too!!!!

Matchy names are TERRIBLE, especially on twins. Just no.

Oliver and Olivia?

I know sisters called Melanie and Melissa.
