Just watched an online news report about two schools in Scotland (within 20 minutes of each other) that have loads of twins. They named them all - so i thought you guys would like it.

Spelling is guessed.

School One:
Louise and Erin
Ross and Rachel
Beth and Louise
Paul and Martin
Rebecca and Rachel
Kerry and Scott
Lauren and Megan
John and Caitlin
Taylor (g) and Courtney (g)
Darren and Andrew and Craig (triplets)

School Two
Niamh & Katie - adorable indentical twins that wear different coloured hair ribbons so the teacher can tell them apart.
Daniel and Peter
Hope and Alex (g)
David and Ryan
Jennifer and Victoria
Emily and Scott
Louis and Ellie
Scott and Fiona
Michelle and Chloe

Ross and Rachel????

That's like naming your twins Romeo and Juliet or Charles and Diana. Bad plan.

First off, I wouldn't imagine "Friends" is as popular in Scotland as it is in the U.S., but I could be wrong. Also, not sure how old Ross & Rachel are. Actually, Jane Pauley (an American newsperson) has twins named Ross & Rachel, but they were born in 1983, long before "Friends" was 'born'. :b

I think if a person didn't really watch Friends they wouldn't seem so odd a pairing.

Especially with Ross being such a common name in Scotland, people might not make the connection. I know a couple called Ross and Rachel and no one's ever mentioned the Friends thing, as far as I know.

Perhaps the parents were avid 'shippers of Ross/Rachel. ;)

Made you look. =P

I don't think it's that bad. I don't think that Friends is so popular that it's the first thing to come to mind, and it's not on anymore either. But maybe it's just me because I've only seen it once or twice and I don't like it. I think it's mostly a bad plan because they start with the same letter. Romeo and Juliet or Charles and Diana on the other hand would be quite ridiculous. :)

That's what I thought! Lol have the parents been living under a rock or are they really that mean?! Although I spose 'Friends' isn't so current now, especially with children at primary school, so at least they might not get teased for it.

The combo I liked was Niamh and Katie
