Re: Twin Crazy
in reply to a message by CN
I'm really useless at stuff like this but let me try:
Thelma and Louise
Elizabeth and Isabella / Isabel / Isobel / whatever spelling
James and Jacob
James and Dean
Marilyn and Norma
Mae and June (oh, we could have triplets: April, May, June)
Orpheus and Eurydice (they could have a sister named Lyra)
Annemarie and Marianne
Autumn and Winter
Something like that?
And a silly one before I'm off to work:
Guy and Boy
Thelma and Louise
Elizabeth and Isabella / Isabel / Isobel / whatever spelling
James and Jacob
James and Dean
Marilyn and Norma
Mae and June (oh, we could have triplets: April, May, June)
Orpheus and Eurydice (they could have a sister named Lyra)
Annemarie and Marianne
Autumn and Winter

*giggles* Thelma and Louise tickles me. :)
The Orpheus, Eurydice, and Lyra sibset is adorable! Okay, I know it's too much, everyone would call Orpheus Morpheus, no one would be able to pronounce Eurydice except English and History teachers, but COME ON!!!!
Ooh! I know! Sibset:
DD: Lyra
DS/DD: Orpheus / Eurydice
DD: Persephone
DS: Pluto (went with Roman version of Hades, because it sounded better)
Ha-Ha! Sorry, I think I got a little carried away...

I read a book in English class this year (The Secret Life of Bees), in which there were three sisters named May, June, and August. May had originally had a twin sister named April who died years before when the book took place. They said it was because their mother loved the spring and summer so much she decided to name her daughters after months in them. Just thought I'd include that little piece of information. :)
Of course, it's not real life though, in which case it would be very unpleasant.

I must admit I'm never too sure if I really think pairings like that are really thaaaat bad... Not necessarily James and Jacob as they are too close sound-wise IMO, but Isobel and Elisabeth? Hmmm, not sure.
Personally, I'd try to avoid different variations of the one and the same name in a sibset but... you know...
I'm confused ;-)
