Twins I have met at school.
I'm at a new school this year, and in my second and third block I have a set of twins. It took me forever to realize they were twins and not the same person. They dress the same, and they're identical.
Kalie and Haley. Those are their names. So I would overhear the name Haley and think they were talking to Kalie and I just heard the name wrong. THAT'S why you don't give identical twins rhyming names. That and the whole its-really-f*cking-annoying thing.
And also, there's a set that I just know of. Jaxon and Kali. A horrible way of saying Jackson and Kailey/Kaley/whatever.
What is the twin world coming to.

Kali is pretty cool actually... unless it's KAY-lee and they just used it as an alternate spelling.
Yeah, that's EXACTLY what they did.
:O Yeah, I like the name Haley (prefer it spelt, Hayley)... and I like Kaylee! But not Kalie, and wouldn't use them as a twinset... and clicking on Kali.. it says its different from Kaylee, or do the parents use it Kaylee. coz then thats just butchering a name! and I know a Jaxon, and this spelling kind of irritates me... and Kali & Jaxon as sibling, let alone twins? Seem a bit to different =/

Kaylee is how they say it.
Oh thats bad!
Oh. That is evil.
I have some friends who are twins. Patrick "Pat" and Timothy "Tim" are identical, but are easily told apart. On the other hand, Chelsea and Courtney are not identical but people have trouble telling them apart and sometimes even mix up their names (Pat actually feels bad because even though he's a twin himself he still mixes them up). The excuse? Their names are too similar. So yes, I have heard people complain about twins having matching names.
That should be pronounced Kah-lee, not like Kay-lee. If they are pronouncing it like Kaylee then they don't know the right pronunciation of the name.
or they just wanted to butcher it...
