[Opinions] twinset I know
I knew a set of twins back in middle school, their names were Shasta and Sierra, what do you guys think of that? With Shasta I'm always thinking the drink. :)By the way they were identical twins except for the fact that one of them had a different colored right eye *one eye was brown, the other green*

Well, since there's now a soft drink called Sierra Mist, it sounds like they were both named for types of soda. :-/

I like Sierra.

A friend of mine when I was a teenager named her cat Shasta. When she told me what she had named the cat, she said, "You know, just like the soda." I thought it was a cute name for a cat, but I don't like it at all for a person. Sierra is pretty enough.

I don't like Shasta (first time I've heard it), used to love Sierra, but the popularity 'killed' it for me.

I'm guessing it wasn't soda the parents were thinking of, but the mountains in CA. Mt. Shasta and the Sierra Mountain Range. Not that that makes it any better, way too matchy and theme-y for my liking.

Hokey, hokey, hokey. Too much California dreamin' going on there. And yes, Shasta does make me think of soda. So does Sierra, actually, since there's Sierra Mist.

I think that Sierra definitely got the better end of the deal on that one. I, too, think about the drink when I think of Shasta.

I really hate the name Shasta. In high school I knew this really preppy, snobby girl named Shasta, and ever since then I've hated that name. I like Sierra though, probably because I know a girl named Sierra and she is very nice.

Wow. Not just the Shasta cola, but Sierra Mist. That just sounds like their parents loved soda. I don't think it was a coincidence...

LOL, forgot about Sierra Mist. Sierra mist came out YEARS after these two were born, though. They'd be about 20-21 now.

Okay, so it is a coincidence. A really weird one, though. Lol.
