I work in a place where I see newborns all the time. Twins were born recently and dad was sooo proud (and looked as if he felt very clever) to tell everyone that he and his significant other named their twin boys:Tailor (pronounced Taylor)
&
Tialor (pronounced Tyler)Umm...thats stupid, and almost as bad as Steven and Stephen. I also recently saw a pretty good combo in my opinion, Aleksandr Elia. Not totally out there but not common either.

Those poor boys. Not only do they have terrible names, but their parents are idiots.

Bleagh. I hope they have fun trying to prove to banks that they are two separate people when they are adults. Besides, Tailor is a job, and Tialor is a misspelled job. I'm thinking by 13 they'll go by Taylor and Ty.

Wow, how clever and creative! j/k-- YUCK. I saw twins in our NICU named Taylor and Tyler recently, but Tailor and Tialor makes it that much worse!

That's awful, I hate when parents of twins do that. Reminds me of a sibset I know, two girls close in age named Peyton and Teylor. Urgh matchy.

Ugh to the twin names. I love Aleksandr Elia, but I wouldn't expect to see those names together.

Oh, I really don't like that set at all! It's bad enough that the names Taylor and Tyler are so close... they had to make the spellings even closer? The boys will be so confused when people call their names, not to mention when people spell their names!

What makes it worse is that they were born into a medical setting. In this situation, names like that scream medication error or mixup. I just don't think that parents are thinking sometimes.And to add to the spelling issue, the names don't even make sense phonetically!

The boys' names are terrible. I hate to be so blunt but they're not clever; just stupid.

Oh jeez. I know this is beside the point, but Teilor and Tielor would've made a hell of a lot more sense with those pronunciations.Aleksandr Elia is really awesome.
