I know brothers (not triplets) Evan, Kevin, and Devin. I also know sisters (not twins) Anna and Hannah. And the worst one: brothers Zane and Kane. Not twins either but still

I went to school with three brothers all of whom had the exact same first and middle names.

That said parents name their kids dumb things all the time. Morgan Morgenstern is my favorite to date.

My SIL with twins named them after her high school boyfriends current and ex girlfriend. Now that was peculiar.


lol my kid has a name similar to Morgan Morganstern. The reactions are priceless

My teacher claimed she didn’t realize her boys’ names (not twins) were close when I asked (as a 5th grader):

Kent
Clint (full name Clinton - before BC’s presidentcy)

I didn’t believe her then and I don’t believe her now.

My name is Keri. My brother's name is Kevin. Our dog's name was Kaley. My mother SWORE she didn't realize we all were Kardashians. But if you asked her what her alternate options were for us, she'd considered Michael for my brother and Melissa for me. So I think she really thought it would be cute for us to have the same first initial.

But with us both being K. Morganstern it was a hassle with mail. We literally moved out within a month of each other, to opposite ends of the East Coast, and would get mail for each other. The post office couldn't figure out how to separate us. We would just send each other manilla envelops filled with the mail we'd gotten. Or we'd go over it on the phone. "You got something from Boston College. Open it?" "I think I got your Visa bill."

Knew a Bernard and Bernadette. Mid 60s. I think this was more popular back in the day.

When I was a kid I took a karate class that had 4 brothers, all about 18 months apart. Kevin, Kenneth, Kyle, and Keith.
