Baby Names

S/O Matchy Twin Names

Just for fun... What are the matchiest (is that a word? LOL) names you've ever heard on a set of twins?

I used to babysit for a Koo.per and Ka.sh. They'll be turning three years old soon and they are the sweetest boys ever, but their names are too Kardashian, IMO.

Re: S/O Matchy Twin Names

  • We had a lot of twins in our high school, I think the matchiest were Danielle and Michelle.
    The best were probably Ewan and Nichola, their other sibs are Fiona and Alistair not sure on spelling, they were Scottish.

    Did they try to pronounce them differently? 

    Yes. The brother's was pronounced "Nole" and the sister's was "No-ELL".

    I laughed out loud at this. That's awful. I wish you could find them and interview them now.

    Doesn't that Teen Mom star have an Aleeah and Aliana? I'm sure the spellings are more bastardized than I can imagine, but those are so wrong together.

    And her name is Ali!!!  Every time I heard her say those names I was like "There are others sounds in the world than variations of 'Ali.'"

    Yeah those are pretty bad and she spelled it Aliannah. The mom is Leah so I definitely think Aleeah is a little much. I don't like either name

  • I once worked for twins who were named Brenda and Glenda. DH kept mixing them up, and so he'd jokingly call them Blenda.

  • Not matching necessarily, but I know twin boys named Ha.ns and Chris.tian....their last name is Anderson.

    I'm glad the parents were thinking in the literary vein, but those kids are going to get teased anytime their names are used together.

  • Way back when MTV used to do those True Life TV shows, they once did one called True Life: I Have Embarrassing Parents and there were identical triplets whose parents were professional clowns. Their last name was Graham and their parents had named them Candy, Millie, and Holly (Candy Graham, Millie Graham, and Holly Graham).

  • Other sets I know with matchy names:
    Tim and Tom (at least they were short for Timothy and Thomas, but still)

    Sandy and Cindy

    A Bumpie has B/G twins named Michael and Michaella.

    I've also seen a Brian and Brianna.

  • Gabriella and Isabella. Not the worst, but the matchiest I've personally come across. They always dressed identically and hung out together too. Kinda scary.

    Edit: Like PP, I also know a Tim and Tom.

  • Hey, I work with a Brenda whose twin is named Glenda! 

     

    My husband's mother and aunt are identical twins named Lola and Lora. >_<

    Oh whoops - her name was Leah and one was name Aleah (spelled whatever).  I knew her name matched one of those daughter's names.  I should've looked it up.

    Aliannah and Aleeah...both still very close to Leah.  She had a 3rd girl this year...Adalynn

    I would have such a hard time keeping their names straight!

  • Oh yeah, speaking of twin aunts ... my grandpa had twin aunts. Their names were Emilie (German, pronounced like Emilia) and Betty, though I'm not sure if Betty was short for Elizabeth. Not too matchy at all! (It seems like matchy twin names were a lot more popular in the past. The Cindy and Sandy are in their 50s; Tim and Tom are mid to late 30s--that was my OB and his identical twin. :))

    If they wanted to stick with a Christmas theme they could have atleast done Noel and Natalie...ughhhhhh.  I got mixed up trying to say those names in my head...I could imagine how tongue twisted the parents got!

     

    Or Noel and... Holly.

  • These aren't matchy in the rhyming sense but I met an 89 year old woman whose name was Hope and her sister was Faith, they were adorable but I just thought it was interesting (wasn't there a tv show with that name awhile back??).

  • I don't know any girls with these names, thank goodness, but I was looking on the SSA site at the most popular twins names and read Heaven and Nevaeh. Doesn't get any matchier than your sister having your name spelled backwards/forwards.

    Kids at my school were Antonio and Antonia... seriously.





  • DH has a pair of great great aunts named Tryphena and Tryphosa. Those were the names of sisters in the letters of Paul in the Bible, but still.
  • The worst matchy names I've ever heard are actually on SIBLINGS not twins.

     Two sisters:

     Kay.lynn and Kay.tynn

     

    Dear Goodness.
