Help[Opinions] Re: Names of twins, separated and adopted
in reply to a message by Starla Roxanne
I like Laura and Bridget.
Gladys and Goldie sound very similar, like they were named by their birth mother. Funny that they did not like each other.
OT, very interesting subject. Did you find that they were very similar, in interests and temperament?
- She said he made a racial slur!
- Racial? She is Swedish!
- Maybe he called her Meatball.
"I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I’ve decided to be spontaneous."

yes, I did
In a lot of ways, they were very similar. Some of it was surely genetic, like Oscar and Jack both tending to sneeze the same number of times. Some was pure coincidence, like the Jim twins. They were adopted by different families across the country and were both named James. One's middle name was Alan and one's Allen. You got to figure, in that time (late forties and early fifties, I think) James Allen/Alan was a very popular combo. Both had married women named Linda, which was of course VERy popular for women their age. Both divorced Linda and married Bettys.
Other things, the coincidence was just too odd to ignore, like the fact that the Jims, though they lived very far apart, both took vacations to the same beach area.
That paper was about the only research paper that I really enjoyed working on.
