[Opinions] 5 twins / too many siblings
On Yahoo news I saw this video of 5 identical twins graduating from one school this year. There is also a set of fraternal twins but they didn't say their names.Ashley and WhitneyEmily and AudreyEvan and KyleMarvin and DarvinBriana and Brittany
Also the other day I watched a show about having too many siblings. These people were tired of all their siblings. Some gave ages; some didn't.I'm sure some of these are nicknames but this is what they were introduced as.

I like Emily and Audrey. Evan and Kyle is a decent sibset as well. I've never been that wild about the name Kyle because I've met so many and it seems boring to me as a result, but I think it's a respectable name.Marvin and Darvin are way too close. They could have at least named Darvin Darwin, but even then, the names still would have been overly similar.Out of the others, I like:
Mary
RachelBrooke
Xavier
Camille
GiaI had heard of China as a first name, but not Japan. It seems really odd as a first name to me.

Ashley and Whitney - Dislike both names. Ashley because it's a boys name, and Whitney because of the way they say it on Eastenders!Emily and Audrey - Kind of unusual to see Emily which is really common and Andrey which isn't really. Nevertheless I think they go well together and I like both.Evan and Kyle - Love Evan. Don't really like Kyle but they fit quite well togetherMarvin and Darvin - Ridiculoud. Darvin isn't even a real name!Briana and Brittany - Don't like either name, and they're too similar.I like
Rachel
Bianca
Xavier
Camille Some of the others are completely ridiculous - China and Japan?! Really?! How come the next one wasn't called Korea? And all those stupid, made-up Z names like Zareese - adding a Z does not make it cool!Also I'm quite surprised that it was actually on the news that 5 sets of twins were graduating together. We had 5 sets of twins in my school (although only 2 were identical) and it wasn't even a very big school (~250 in my year)! Was that local news?

Marvin and Darvin is almost cruel IMO. Briana and Brittany would get confusing, too. The other twin sets are nice, though. Do you remember if Ashley and Whitney were boys or girls?The last sibset is pretty odd, IMO. China and Japan? It's also confusing because there seems to be no consistency -- I don't mean themey, alliterative names, but at least in the first sibset they all are fairly traditional, English names. The last sibset is all over the board!

Ashley and Whitney are girls.

Of the twins, I only like Evan. It's really been growing on me lately.It's been mentioned already, that the second family has a very eclectic naming style. I kinda like a bunch of them though:
Bianca
Zareese
Camille
Gia
Zayella
I know Zareese and Zayella are a little out there, but I do like the sound.
Seems a little funny to have a China and Japan as siblings. Also Zia and Gia could be confusing.

Emily and Audrey are the only twin names I like up there

Whoa that second sibset is all over the place! How bizarre... Most people have inherent "trends" when naming their kids, whether they're aware of it or not, but these people look like they opened a baby name book and just randomly pointed to a name and then used it.

wow it looks like that last family had trouble sticking with a name theme. they have some Z names and 2 country names and then C names. it just doesn't look like a sibset at all.
