Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Johnette would have been way better!

Went to high school with Nehemiah & Jedidiah

I also know someone who named her sons (not twins, separated by 5 years or so) Devin and Devon. That's the worst one to me.

My father in law and his sister (not twins) are named Dennis and Denise.

Do we have the same family?

I have twin uncles: Don and Dan, but twin cousins Denise and Diane

I did also have a student who’s legal name was Orange Jello [Smith]. College student, so I’m sure it was his own doing.

25+ years of teaching HS and college, I’ve seen some names

Recently? I know a set in elementary now. I don’t understand why you’d do that, especially with that spelling. Mia and Maya would still be bad but slightly less confusing.

No, they were 9th graders in early 2000s, so born late 80s

Which reminds me, this isn't twin related, but I know a white American woman who was married to a man from another country, and all SEVEN of her kids have names from his country that are hard to pronounce. Then she was divorced, became pregnant by an American guy and baby #8 is named Fred. I'm not going to say the real names or nationality but something like Xochitl, Meztli, etc and Fred.

This is so funny!

Nina and Tina (both pronounced with a long ee sound)

this thread reminded me that when I was pg with our twins, I joked that I would name them Clifton and Passaic for my NJ-raised dh's home towns!!!

I knew a family in the 70s and 80s with 4 girls: Melissa, Melinda, Michelle, and Mallory.

Also know twins named Armeen and Radeem.

Yep. This entire subject has been based over the decades on racial stereotypes. I knew it would go there. Have you not learned anything pp? Take the racist crap and shove it.

Not racist or stereotypical when it's true. You have never worked in an urban school or urban hospital, I guarantee it.

Curious: Why is it SO hard for you to discuss the names without describing them as “urban”? What exactly do you think you’re adding to your description of the names with this detail?

I know, I know! You must be thinking that DC Urban Moms and Dads will REALLY be able to relate! Ammirite?

HEY, are these my orthodontists? Back in the 80s, I had twins Don & Dan orthos who had a practice together!
My contribution: Totally remember my grandmother having these little old lady twins friends named Rose & Poppy. I supposed that's better than Rose & Thorn.
