I know four sets of siblings called Lucy and Thomas, and also three sets of Aaron and Daniel.

Anyone else know of a few siblings with the same names?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Realised today speaking to a friend whose family adhered to this that I know of at leaat 5 families where there seems to be a tradition of calling girls Alice and Charlotte. Almost every Alice I know has a sister called Charlotte (not quite so foolproof the other way round) and with nearly 3/4 of the Alice/Charlotte combos I can think of, if they have a brother he's called James.

I have to admit I partially fall into to this as well, my boy is James and if one of my twins is a girl, she's going to be Alice. Didn't even twig until today!

Have to second the Jessica and Matthew thing, I can think of three Jessica and Matthew combos off the top of my head (and they're ALL spoilt rotten, bizarrely!)

I sort of get why there are lots of Olivia and Chloes for example, and Oscars and Felixes, but I can't work out what it is that makes Jessica and Matthew such a common combo iyswim.
