Mary and Mary? Oh, my. Even though they probably went by Mary Beth and Mary Kate, it's still horrible.

I agree. They were always called by the double names, but it's still bad. Looked exactly alike, I couldn't tell them apart, and roomed together at college. It was all a bit much.

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:

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. :-)

I've never heard of anyone doing it in Europe. I was surprized it was supposedly so common in the US, but then people here kept reporting they'd encountered twins named Anna and Hannah or Peyton and Payton, so I thought these kind of twinsets were the norm.

Yeah, the only ones I know are Chris and Kristi. There are matchy twin and triplet nephews and neices for them, but I don't remember the names. (One set of triplets included Braelyn, though.)
