Yeah, I used to compete against 2 of a set of girl triplets in track growing up. But because I never saw the 3rd, she didn't like running, I don't remember what her name was. I think I wrote it down somewhere at some point but I'd have to go hunting for it 😅

On your twin list, I like Rebecca & Sarah as well as Julia & Sylvie.

From your twin pairs, I like Genevieve & Juliana, Ingrid & Veronika, Ingrid & Sonia, Marguerite & Rosalind, Serena & Juliet, Winifred & Beatrice, Edmund & Diana, Beatrice & Theodore, Eva & Adrian, Henry & Simon, Edward & Henry, Tiberius & Balthazar, Julius & Adrian and Leo & Tristan.

I've only known two sets of twins. A distant cousin named her twin girls Emily & Grace. When I was a young, I knew two freckle faced redheads named May & June. Even then I was curious about their names so I asked them why they were given the names. They told me the older sister was born just before midnight on May 31st and the younger one arrived after midnight on June 1st. They were born in different months and had different birthdates. Hence, May and June.

I was skeptical about the twins May and June but the story is honestly so cute so now I feel conflicted 😆

Some of you guys have a good memory! I mainly remember the twin sets I went to high school with and even so, it is not that fresh in my memory.

Stephanie and Vanessa (born in the 90s)
Michelle and Andrea (born in the 90s)
Christopher and Alexandre (born in the 90s) - I had to check Facebook for Alexandre, cause I did not remember his name!

My mom knew two twin sets. One called Gerard and Gerald (born in the 50's) and one called François and Françoise (boy-girl twins, also born in the 50's). That is to matchy-matchy for my taste but it seemed to be trendy in that era.

I have not known as many twins as you guys, wow. I always thought it was rare and special to meet twins, but apparently not.

Paige & Parker
Kaylee & Carly

My grandmother Adriana was a twin. Her twin’s name was Mina. She died when she was nine (or eight) which must have been devastating for my grandmother.

Although I must have known more twins I can’t think of any atm.

Rest in peace Mina

In hindsight I wished I had asked my nan about her, but alas.

Ones I've known:
Gerard and George
Frances and Ruth
Amanda and Elizabeth
Jacob and Zachary
Jamiela and Monique
Jace and Todd
Robert and David
Aubrey and Adison
Carmen and Camron
And then an honorable mention to a dream I once had where I had twins named Sarah and David!

If I were to have twins today:
Eve Josephine and Leon Henry
Cora Virginia and Eve Anneliese
Leon Gregory and Henry Theodore

Some matchy twinsets:
Leon and Louisa
Flora and Fiona (Freya could also go with either)
Hugo and Henry
Cora and Cecilia
Hector and Helena
Madeleine and Anneliese (a stretch, but for some reason they're matchy in my head)

Twins I’ve known:

Paige and Penny
Julia and Stephanie (identical)
Zach and Matt
Kolton and Kennedi

I like all these combos— except I’m not crazy about the name Kolton. I probably would have used Kieran or Kyle.

Patricia and Gillian
Maggie and Molly (I think there was another sister named Milly, but I'm not sure)

Christina and Editha (German)
Lisa and Ian
Michelle and Michael

Interesting that you should say that. My stepmother has always said if she had ever had girl/boy twins she would have named them Michelle and Michael.

- Anneza +1

I'm sure they'd have been a whole lot better than the ones I knew. The parents were divorced, and living in the same apartment block, so if one parent made a condition or a rule, it was only too easy to get the other one to countermand it. Supposedly, Michelle lived with the mother and Michael with the father, but in fact they swapped several times a week. Michael was passive-aggressive; Michelle was actively nasty, with a sweet smile on her beautiful face, which stopped being beautiful as soon as you got to know her.

8/26/2024, 6:18 PM

Most unfortunate. I'll be sure to inform my stepmother that it was for the best then, lol

I have known a few sets of twins in my life, so I'll instead state some twin names I've concocted for my fictional worlds.

Natalie & Nathan
Aliyah & Emma
Allyson & Macie
Jared & Taylor (M)
Klement & Kveta
Allyson & Melody (I really like the name Allyson haha)
Eve & Lia
Laila & Logan
Skylar & Brandon

And for fun, a triplet set: Star, Eveline, and Kaitlyn.

I like Levi and Elijah and Max and Bella. I don't think up twin names because I would just name them my top two names. I hate matchy names on twins. If I had twins, they would be Genevieve Marie and Alexandria Jane/Benjamin Roy and William Wayne/Genevieve Marie and Benjamin Roy.
