Twin names...

in Babies on the Brain
Let me start off by saying I mean no offense to anyone who's decided to name their children this way, this is just my opinion.
My stepmom-in-law has twin boys named Ryan and Bryan.
I hate it. I feel bad for them. They have a life time of being called the wrong name. Besides that, they're two very different people. Why do some feel that just because they were in the womb at the same time, they should have almost the same name? They don't name two kids that were born at different times Alicia and Felicia, why do it to twins?

    My (twin) brothers had 3 other sets of twins in their classes growing up.  1. Identical boys named Ryan and Bryan.  2. Fraternal boys named Dustin and Justin.  3. Identical girls named Ashley and Allison (not so bad since they don't rhyme).  But of four sets of twins my brothers were the only ones who didn't have matchy matchy names.  Ri-freaking-diculous.

    I share your opinion.  As does my good friend Stacey, with the twin sister Tracey.  They are alway mistaken for one another, and they are definitely not interchangeable.

    I like Lily and Laney for twin girls.  Lilliana and Delaney.  If I ever have another girl I might still go with Delaney.  I'm pretty lame like that.

    You should look up the most popular twin names on SSA. Most are same letter and matchey matchy. Don't love, but meh, it's up to them I guess.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one! But good Lord there are some bad ones out there, huh?

    I don't think Lilly and Laney are too bad because they're actually not matchy matchy names. It's the ones that rhyme that really get me.

    So, then, Nikki, do you like what I'm going to name my triplets?  I tried not to be all matchy matchy.

    Well, ya know I do but I think you should totally throw in a few more y's and apostrophes. That really makes ANY name awesome.

    In fact, since I have an empty ute, I may start going by N'ykky

    I just wonder how many times the parent would yell "Tracey" and Stacey would come thinking she called for her or vice versa.  That would drive me nuts.

    I grew up with twin boys whose parents named them John and Jonathan.  Yes, it was confusing, and I am still, to this day, not exactly sure which one is which because I have heard them both be called John. Something tells me that the parents lacked creativity...just a little.

    I know 2 non-twin sisters named Kara and Shara. They hate it.

     

    ETA: because I apparently like to leave out letters.

    Melody's comment reminded me that I went to high school with a boy/girl twin set named Aaron and Erin.  Lamesauce.

    My husband is a twin and my FIL wanted to name them Levi and Elvi Indifferent

     

    Good thing MIL intervened and gave them two completely different names.

    I worked with a Ryan and when he told us he had a twin brother named Bryan, I was in awe that people really did this to twins.

    Years later, I was a daycare teacher and we had a set of twins come through named Whittaney and Brittaney.

    Way late on this, but I know someone who named their girls Jocelyn and Jacklyn (not sure exactly on the spellings). The kicker? They are NOT twins. I feel like that's even worse.. and how uncreative can you be??
