HelpRe: Twin names
in reply to a message by Hannah
Would you name twins Romeo and Juliet?
No?
Then Tristan and Isolde (and every other romantic couple, right down to Frank-N-Furter and Rocky) is out of the question, mon amie.

C'mon, Frank-N-Furter and Rocky for twin boys? Who wouldn't do that? *LOL*
Am I the only one who remembers the twins born toward the end of the series of The Cosby Show? They were named Nelson and Winnie. I thought that was pretty kinky. :D

Now I'm feeling culturally illiterate...(m)
I don't see the joke behind Nelson and Winnie! All I can see is kind of a play on Willie Nelson. Enlighten me?

Nelson Mandela and his wife Winnie. I don't remember if she had a different ln. They were seen as a model couple because she waited for him throughout his imprisonment.
Unfortunately, it came out later that Winnie was on the take and, allegedly, involved in violent extorsion / schemes. Nelson divorced her. When the news was coming out, I swear I thought about those twins on the Cosby show. Good thing they were fictional.

Omigod, I *am* too old for y'all
It was the 80s, Nelson Mandela was still in prison (well, house arrest, I believe) in South Africa and his wife Winnie was his public "face," reminding people of his ordeal. She was quite a colorful character. It was only after his release that it was revealed how badly she'd behaved while he was imprisoned, and he subsequently divorced her. So Cosby had these twins (his grandbabies on the show) named Nelson and Winnie for this real married couple, but it was to remind the audience of those real people and what South Africa as a nation was going through during the apartheid years.
