Help[Opinions] Same egg, same name?
in reply to a message by Julie
If they are identlical twins, they come from the same egg. So giving them the names Jack and John *could* be intentional.
John and Ian or Elizabeth and Isabella would be the same thing.
I would not do it, but I don't think other people will think about it. And probably the parents did not know it either. Since many boys are named Jack (or named Jackson but called Jack), I think people forget that Jack was orginally a nn for John.
