ArchivesRe: Twins names
in reply to a message by Daren Clayton
Hi Daren,
Similar names for twins beginning with the same letter may seem cute now, but you're asking to have people continuously mix up their names for many years to come. It's tough enough for a twin to establish an individual identity without this kind of problem compounding it.
The names you mention are okay (except maybe Jamie, which brings to mind a Scottish coal miner and not a little girl), but it might be preferable to find a non-rhyming name of similar length but starting with a different letter for one of the pair of twins. Best of luck!
