I will have to agree with y'all on these "twinny" names. I like my sister and my names. I don't really mind name themes (for families or twins) as long as they're not too obvious and I absolutely can't stand it when all the kids' names rhyme!
I sometimes wonder how parents think of they're twins' names when they don't seem at all the same, but I also applaud them for not making the names similar. Twins ARE NOT the same! My sister and I alike in some ways, but we are different in so many other ways (she's more athletic and I'm "academic").
At the festival, some twins dress alike EVERY DAY! Having similar sounding names and dressing alike all the time makes twins seem like one person instead of two completely different individuals. I'm glad my sister and I decided to go to different colleges - that way we are seen as a single person instead of half of one.
Thanks for your comments!
