Multiples' Names

[Anonymous]

Between my own child and two nephews, I've attended three high school graduations in the past week. I've seen some interesting names of multiples, and it's made me think how confusing it must be to keep them straight.

Set 1= Andrea and Andre
Set #2= Daniel and Daniela
Set #3= Jayden, Kaden, and Aiden
Set #4= Mariam and Maria (apparently pronounced Mare-ee-uh, like Mariam without the final m)

I am also a parent of twins, in addition to two singletons, and even with wildly different names, I still regularly call my kids the wrong name. I can't imagine how confusing it would be if my kids had super similar names!

Plenty of Mark/Michael’s and Jessica/Jennifer pairings for twins when I was a kid

My dad called me by my mom's name sometimes and every adult in our house called me by the dog's name sometimes. None of the three names are similar. Whatever.

I know twins named Milly and Minnie. So silly!

Worst twin names I’ve seen were Erryk and Arryk on House of the Dragon. Have no idea how you would tell those names apart when pronouncing them aloud.

Yes, but those are just alliterative.

The names I saw in the program and heard read were either rhyming or only one letter off from one another.

I knew twins Cary and Gary growing up.
If I had twins, I would give them distinct(from each other) names.

Twins were very rare when we were growing up. I remember only one pair of fraternal twins named Danny and Donny. They had a sister Denise and their last name started with a D as well. OG Kardashians.
