[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD 4 got invited to a birthday of a friend from preschool who is a twin. The other twin is not in her class, so I asked my DD what her name was and she said Anna(not using exact names) The twin in her class is named Anna, so I just knew she was getting confused, but she instead they both were named Anna. Sure enough one was named AnnaClaire and the other AnnaJane. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a parent give their kids basically the same name. [/quote]

DP  sometimes it is cultural.  I knew a girl from Mexico and she said all her sisters were named Maria and then a different middle name.  They were all called by their middle name.  I also knew someone who named her two sons Sean and Ian which is basically the same name too.  ( John in Irish and Scottish)[/quote]

In Spanish the Maria names all have their own nicknames.  Maria Teresa = Maite.  Maria del Prado = Pradito. [/quote]

I was going to say that it's not super unusual in Latin America to name the girls María-something. It's dated, but it still happens. [/quote]
