So twins are more special than other children?
I am a twin, and I know what it's like, so speaking from experience on this one, I am just saying that it is something that bothers me. Twins have a hard enough time being viewed as seperate individuals in the first place. Connecting names does not help that cause.
I didn't say that there was anything wrong in general with connecting them (like as a mn as I said earlier), but I dislike it when it is sickeningly obvious or forced on them as with themey fn's.
Also Jaime, I was referring to when parents do it on purpose with twins to be cute. Other sibsets or subtle connects are a different story. I specified this in my original post.
