I have known four sets of twins:
(born 1989)
Chloe and Max
Edward and Matthew
Edward and Matthew
- seriously. They were also both nicknamed Ed and Matt (but that's fairly conventional). I went to Primary school with one set and Senior school with the other set.
(born 1995)
Caroline and Catherine (nn Carrie and Catie)

I can't even guess at the difference in pronunciation. Help?

Lol, I know the feeling.
I wondered if they ever had that problem. The fact that they were always dressed the same probably didn't help matters.
Anyway:
Daeshanique: DAY-shun-eek
Dahshanique: DAW-shun-eek
Yeah, seriously.

I've never met or heard of twins with matchy or rhymey names.
That's the reason for this post. I want to see how people outside of teenagers coming here to drive us up a wall really name their twins. :-)
