Notable sibling names from real life

[MassiveSalad22]

This is not meant to be bitchy at all because I LOVE that people do this (subconsciously maybe?). I think most of them haven’t realised or didn’t until a few years after naming their kids! So they’re not really contrived themey names, more coincidental. My own kids accidentally have musicals-related names.

I know siblings:

Fred and Barney (flintstones)
Ariel(la) and Sebastian (little mermaid)
Madeline and Margaret (Maddie and Maggie)
Matilda (Tilly) and Billy
Henry and Harriet (essentially the same name)

and mums and kids:
Ellie and Ollie
Ellie and Belle

My cousin has a Jake and a Bella ( tweenies)

Why are people comparing two names that are now names in their own right now
Not what they meant 100 years ago
Most people wouldn't know what jack was a nickname for etc , its just jack a name in its own right nowadays
Not everyone reads a baby name book

Just remember one; Myla & Lilah.

I once knew of twins, Charlie and Millie aka Charles and Camilla.

I have two cousins (brothers) called Shane and Wayne.

@worriedatthistime Prince Harry is actually Henry.

@toomuchlaundry I know that but these days they are still names in their own right and I think its weirder naming your child henry but calking them harry
Just name them Harry

The Queen has children called Anne and Andrew.

Jill and Jack.
Michelle and Michael.
And Christmas twins Mary and Joy.

There are sisters Janet and Jane in my family. Different names to the ear but only one letter different written down. Seems like a postal nightmare to me!

I also enjoy the fictional Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-Tail and… Peter!

I know of young twins named jack and Daniel.

I know twins called Brian and Ian. Not very imaginative. I also know siblings called Kayleigh and Kayla

I met a John Smith who called his son……John Smith. Bad enough having the same name as a brewery never mind the same name as your dad.

Eric and Erin

Zoe and Chloe

Not kids but I went to school with a Beverley
who married a kevin
bev and kev…

I also know of twins called Ant and Dec

Gemma and Emma....

My dad and his brother both have the same first name George after their dad but only ever been known by their middle names. Used to be quite common in Scotland I think

Also know of boy girl twins who'd now be on their 40s called Holly and ivy

I know siblings called Karen and Sharon. I also worked with an Andrew who was married to an Amanda (Andy and Mandy).

Twins Nicola and Victoria - Nicky and Vicky.

There were twins locally when I was at school called Alec and Alex. I found out recently they're quite well known these days.

I thought siblings Cameron and Camilla were were pretty matchy, but they pale in comparison to some on here!

Maggie and Margot. Feels odd to have both in the same family as they are both Margaret / Marguerite nicknames.

I know a couple, he is Ivan John and she is Joanne Jane. Ivan is Russian form of John and Joanne is a derivative of Jane so there are essentially John John and Jane Jane (also Jane is the feminine of John)

Brother and sister Peter and Jane

Two sisters Holly and Ivy

Work colleague whose dc were Philip and Elizabeth. The kids were teenagers when he realised, after someone commented about him being a Royalist (he wasn't)

Married couple Chris(topher) and Chris(tine)

Brothers Carl (after his dad), Carlos (after his grandad) and Carlo (because wtf)

You must have a very middle-class circle of friends based on those very prim names
