I was quite an age before I realized that twins need not be named Plinkety and Plunkety. I met a girl who had twins siblings named Claire and David, and I thought, "Can you do that?"

Popular names-my daughter, Carol, was always one of 2 or 3 Carols (mostly spelled Carole) in the same class.The name was having a time of usage in the French-speaking community, which I hadn't realized, and anyway, my husband was completely charmed by the name..so pretty! So unusual! (He's from the Middle East.)
