Naming any child Nadir is ... not encouraging.

I seem to recall that a short-lived girl conjoined combo were named Mary Helen and Marie Ellen. Or the Helen and the Ellen might be the other way around. Can you confirm that? You've obviously done a lot of research!

Haha, no, all the names are actually from a site called Phreeque (I know, but that is the actual name of the site!). I've always been interested in people who are "different". Joseph Merrick ("The Elephant Man") is one of my idols.
I found an old article when googling Mary Helen and Marie Ellen. Their surname was Schultz.

I hate how many of these names are matching! Seriously? Conjoined twins don't need to have matching names. Masha and Dasha? Ronnie and Donnie? Don't even get me started with Radica and Doodica. That's a scary list of names. I like Rosa.
