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

Tom Thompson? Nicholas Nickleby? Those names are kinda great if done right.

Yeah, like that. I’ve seen a lot of names like it so I guess it do any seem as crazy to me as it may to others.

Kent

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."

Ok so how do you keep yourself from laughing or eye rolling every time you say the names?

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

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 know twins named Ariannah and Dariannah. Nicknames are Airy and Dairy.
