groan-worthy twinset
In a magazine at my aunt's house I saw a set of girl/boy twins named London and Britain (I am guessing London was the girl). Good lord, this is almost as bad as twins named London and Paris.

I almost started to come down on this, but then I got to thinking, hell, if people want to give twins twinny names, what the hell. I knew one pair of twins with twinny names, Mary Beth and Mary Kate, and they didn't seem to mind. And I'm tired of people being critical of dressing twins alike. It's damn cute, up to a certain age. My mom used to dress my sisters alike, and occasionally all three of us alike, and my sisters sort of had twinny names even though they weren't twins, Patty and Pammy. I don't think that names alone or clothes alone are going to mess kids up.But I'd hate if the twin names were different forms of the same name, but people do that for non-twins. My brother and his wife gave their twins non-twin names, John and Andrew, then gave the son who wasn't a twin a different form of John---Shane. I'd rather have seen the twins be something like Barry and Larry.

They're not almost as bad. They're worse.
Seriously? Name your kid after a country, and then the capital?I think I'll name my daughter Sweden then and my son Stockholm. Maybe I could get away with Swea and Stocky as nicknames, huh.

Bad bad bad. But I'd guess London was the boy. Britain sounds much more feminine to me whereas I've known male Londons. My brother, had he been a girl, would have been named Kylie Britton

No, London and Britain are so much worse than London and Paris.

I've seen a woman named British. It could have been even worse if you can believe that.
