I knew twins named Mandi and Brandi. When they hit 18 they whacked their parents with assault rifles one hot summer night.
Ok maybe not. But no jury in the world would have convicted them if they had.
I always wanted twins so I could name them Denise & Denephew.
Identical twin boys who were in my grade.
Ronald and Donald(Conley)
Someone I am related to (Google “Bessie Sedor” if you want to find info), had four sets of twins and one single.
The twins are:
Don and Donna
Dennis and Denise
Deirdre and Delores
Darrell and Dale
And the single?
Val.
My sister always wanted to have twin girls and name them “Chastity” and “Slut,” just to see what happened. Sort of a social experiment.
Of course, this is the same sister that decided that if she had triplets, she’d name them, “Zachary, Thackary, and Weedwhackery.”
We’re an odd family.
Identical Twins: Craig and Greg. Phonetically too close.
My dad wanted to name my twin and me, “Casey” and “Stacey.” Thank goodness my mom was able to name us first!
There was a article in the paper here awhile ago about a twin convention in The Bronx. There was a picture of two beautiful 6 month olds. Their names: Alize and Hennessy. I kid you not.
Biggirl, proud mom to twins Justin and Ebony.
I have a cousin whose daughters were named “Rhonda” and “Wanda.”
My grandmother had a set of twin sisters whose names were “Lula” and “Lilly.”
I knew a girl who named her twin boys “Matthew” and “Houston.”
And, of course, I went to school with twins named Oranjello and Lemonjello Washington.
I have two friends, who are twins, that are named Stephenie and Stephina. See, they’ve planned on naming the girl Stephenie, but appearently another came out, so they just changed one letter.
I had a similar experience in walmart, except it was Rhett and Scarlet.
I know a pair of little girls named Charley and Harley.
We put together a book of suggestions for friends who where having twins.
Sadly, it was not received particularly well, despite a very classy binding job.
Kis and Tish
Guess which name is mine. 
[sub]My parents were smoking that shit when we were born…[/sub]
Slightly related… this reminded me of that scene in the movie “La Vita e Bella” (Life is beautiful) where the main character tactfully tries to known if a man supports Mussolini, the man turns around and shouts at his twins making a fuss in the background:
-“Benito, Adolfo; stop that already!
You were saying?”
-“No, nothing…”
I knew a set of twins in school named Dawn and Donna.
Last name: Donnelly.
In grade school I knew a set of twin girls named Kay and Gay, which is bad enough, but their last name was Cox. :eek:
