Worst is people that name the kids the SAME NAME but with a different spelling, a la:

Stephen and Steven (I've seen this one in real life)
Lily & Lillie
Katherine & Catherine

etc.

Oh! Totally forgot that I know a Dallen and Dalen.

Their mom thought people would know the pronunciation was supposed to be Dal-en (al, like Albert)and Day-len.

Yeah, no... everyone said them exactly the same. Suffice it to say that Dallen goes by his middle name Ben (Benjamin).

So, so awful. I've also seen the dad's name given to both children but changed up, like Georgette and Georgine.

Also, I really dislike names that are essentially the same but one letter is changed. There were twin boys I took care of a few years ago named Tailor and Tialor. They were supposed to sound like Taylor and Tyler. Even that sucks, but would have been lightyears better.

My stepmother wanted twins, and would have named them Bonnie and Connie. PTL, she only got to raise us, not name us!
