Naming one baby is enough to make many people go somewhat crazy. Naming two is more than twice as bad, and conjoined twins ... I read somewhere about conjoined girls who did not survive: can't remember when or even where, but they were named Mary Ellen and Marie Helen.
If these two survive, what are the odds they'll become known as Leigh and Lyn? Just for convenience?
And if it were me, and I really needed to have matchy names, I'd aim for meanings: Helen and Lucy, or Anne and Grace though I dislike Grace so I wouldn't. But that would be the idea.
Peter and Simon would be a bit too obvious for boys.

Jesus. One of those is bad on their own, but together... I thought I had bad naming style. WOOEE.
I love the story. But the names are atrocious. 'Nuff said.

An incredible story. It seems like with identical twins emphasizing what is disparate with very different names would be helpful given that people will incessantly confuse them anyway. I also prefer Paisley to Paisleigh by far.
"You came out as one person and that's how you will remain".
It is sort of a modern version of the archaic idea that conjoined twins are one person. There are a lot of conjoined twins in the past that just had one name between the two.
I suppose conjoined twins who reached adulthood weren't terribly common, but the idea of one name for two separate brains is odd to me. I suppose they would find a way to differentiate themselves regardless.
Great story! Awful name choices.
