[Opinions] triplets I know
One of my friends has a twin brother and a twin sister, all fraternal. Their names are:
Micol (g. my friend. This is the Italian spelling of Michal), Carol (g) and Derek (b)These names look very unusual in an Italian context, and would have even more when these triplets where born alomst 30 years ago, especially as in Italy non-Italian names aren't used much and most Old Testament/Hebrew names are very uncommon, unless maybe if you're from a traditional Jewish family. Apparently their dad wanted them to have all "foreign" names because for some reason he thinks foreign names "bring luck". Once I pointed out to my friend that Micol technically isn't "foreign", since it's from the Bible, but it seems the reasonment was that since it's Hebrew, it's therefore a foreign name.

Interesting theory on the foreign names - I think I'll run with that because I adore names that aren't...well...domestic! I don't care for Carol, but Derek is really growing on me.
