Alpo Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 If you had twins, would you give them cutesy little sound alike names? I went to school with two sets of twins. If the boys were Doug and Wayne, that would be okay, but it's been 50 years ago whenAND I'm thinking it might have been Doug and Dwayne. That's kind of pushing it. Then the girls were Debra and Donna. That's still a little close. There's an online story where they name their poor defenseless little girls Holly and Molly. And there's a webcomic where we have a set of fraternal twins - Aaron and Sharon. Why do people do that to their poor defenseless children? Would you do that to yours? Did your parents do that to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Used to work with a guy named Donald. He insists that he has a twin brother named Ronald. That's bad, but to make it worse they both have the same middle name. And their social security number is one digit apart. And the twin brother has a criminal record. This tends to make it difficult for Donnie to buy a gun. Could be worse though. I have heard that George Foreman named all of his children George Foreman. George junior, George III, George the 4th, etc. I guess if you've been hit a lot and are kind of punchy, it makes it easier remembering your kid's name. "George! Get over here!"

Cypress Sun Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 My gals best friend is named Glenda. Glenda has a twin named Brenda. Glenda and Brenda are not even close to looking the same. When they were growing up, I guess the family gag was "Who's the good witch?". Got to them after a while. Let's just say that The Wizard of Oz is not their favorite movie.

Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 My identical twin grandsons are named Tanner and Conner. My brother dated twins named Rhonda and Robina. My father Edward was a fraternal twin to Joseph. What I always found interesting about them was my dad was muscular and athletic, whereas his brother was the stereotypical 98 lb. weakling.

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Went to church with twin girls. Nobody could tell them apart unless they were side by side except their family, so we just called whichever one we were talking to at the moment, 'Harry', since their last name was Harris. It didn't bother them- until their older brother started it, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 In my life, I've known as many as ten sets of identical twins. None were such that you could confuse them. My thought is that the personalities, different, shone through. Might have been interesting to see them sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Went to school with two sets of twins. The girls were in my class and were named Bonitta and Juanita. They were both readheads and you could tell that they were sisters. The two brothers were a grade behind me and were Ronald and Donald. They were almost impossible to tell apart until one of them let his hair grow long. The girls were bright and well behaved. The boys were dumber than a grubbin’ hoe and stayed in trouble.

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Paternal grandmother was one of a set of twins. Lola and Ola. She had twins (my aunts) Connie and Bonnie. She was also the grandmother that drove my mother to distraction with nicknames for every grandchild. Mom threatened to move to an undisclosed location and never let grandmother see us kids again if grandmother didn't quit calling us by her little pet names.

Finagler 6853 Life Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Let's see. Bring back memories. Older cousins, Donald and Ronald. Ronald died of a brain aneurism at 34. Donald lost and eye when his older brother laid a BB gun on the table, Ronald reached up and pulled the trigger while picking it up and it went off. Grade school; Timmy and Tommy. They moved from Tennessee. Hard to understand. Jr and Sr high when all the schools around town gathered in one, Craig and Jon. Wife's nephew has a set, Austin and Carter. My son has a set, fraternal, Wyatt and Harrison. They are a pair to draw to. Couple of jokers. Harrison is bigger but Wyatt is more aggressive.
