S/O Matchy Twin Names

Mochadoodle · May 2013

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.

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.

I went to kindergarten with twins (brother and sister) who were born on Christmas Eve. Their names were Noel and Noelle. True story.

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.

DH went to school with twins named Pam.ela and Tam.ela.

TREDgirl · May 2013

I have a coworker who's sons are Erik and Derek . And I just heard a Kristen and Kirsten...

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.

starinyte · May 2013

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.

lfen0526 · May 2013

I know a Mc.Kinley, and Mc.Kenzi...

coopsbaby · May 2013

Dominic and Dominique

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).

macchiatto · May 2013

My boys' preschool has a set named Kars.yn and Ka.syn. Soooo NMS.

macchiatto · May 2013

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.

banannapeach85 · May 2013

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.

doodlyjane · May 2013

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!

Mochadoodle · May 2013

Can't believe that I forgot about this, but DH has twin aunts. Their names are Shelly and Kelly. Haha.

macchiatto · May 2013

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.

)

vulpini · May 2013

Monica and Veronica

Also, not twins but sisters Lina and Gina

Cat&S · May 2013

Gene Carson and Dean Larson. FN and MN.

queenbone · May 2013

I went to grade school with twins Lisa and Leslie and another set a few years younger than us were Contessa and Contressa (Tess & Tress.) The 70s were a bad time for naming twins apparently!

LOL, so did I

Bookelly · May 2013

My close friends growing up were Karen and Erin. They were identical, and most people called them ErinKaren as opposed to learning who was whom.

You don't happen to live in So. Cal, do you? Surprise

NerdyLucy · May 2013

I have three sets, but a couple of these are repeats from some already mentioned on this thread.

I have two former students that are named Sienna and Sierra. Lovely girls.

I know of twins in my hometown named Pamela and Tamela, but they go by Pammy and Tammy.

Also, a wife of a childhood friend is named Carla and she has a twin named Marla.

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.

Oh god, I bet Kirsten and Kristen get mixed up all the time. Every Kirsten or Kierstin I've known has been called Kristen. And sometimes Christines gets called Kristen.

msmerymac · May 2013

I do know someone who gave their twins matching middle names. Eli.as and Tob.ias.

sparklemotion86 · May 2013

My Aunt and her twin brother-Gale and Dale.

My mom's sisters(twins)-Wanda and Wendy. I don't think it's too bad.

NerdyLucy · May 2013

Oh wait, I can't believe I forgot this one.

I went to college with a girl named Nicole. She told she had a twin named Nicky and said that it was horrible considering Nicky (Nikki) can be a nn for Nicole.

Marshmallow&Lilypad · May 2013

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??).

hollyk224 · May 2013

Krysten & Kayla

Kim & Krystal

Kobey & Skylar

Emma & Danielle

Here's the best one... DH's brother & his wife have boy/girl twins named Jackson & Jillian... but they go by Jack & Jill. I know you're laughing right now!

I know a sib set with these names but they aren't twins. Still way too matchy for me.

Twins I know with matching names: Shane and Shawn
Aiden and Hayden

mesekula619 · May 2013

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.
