Another big family from the news.
This one hit the news because 3 pairs of twins we're born in a row. Here are the kids:Brittney (17)
Sarah (13)
Hunter (10)
Zachary and Zoey (6)
Oliver and Olivia (4)
King (3) (foster child)
Kenzy and Kenzley (nb)
I personally think the older twins are a lot matchier than I would have gone for but are still nice, while the new twins are just too close in sound to use. Kenzy isn't exactly my taste, but would be Ok on its own. I dislike Kenzley.

Zachary and Zoey are okay, but Kenzy and Kenzley? Those are just God-awful.

I would prefer Sarah as Sasha tbh with Brittney in the list. Never been a big fan of Brittney. Hunter, the Z twins, and the O twins are ok. King could be changed, to what though, idk without meeting people. The K twins are the worst. How will the parents differentiate? I don't understand why they would pick those names in the first place.

Brittney is fine. Sarah is okay but I prefer Sara. More neat and pretty. Hunter is also fine. (Is it a girl or a boy though...)Zachary and Zoey isn’t anywhere near as matchy as Oliver and Olivia is. They aren’t even bad or anything. No comment on King.Kenzy and Kenzley are the worst one of this list hands down.

I kind of like Brittney and Sarah, Hunter less so but it fits and it's okay. Zachary and Zoey go well with the other names and naming twins with the same initial is common and doesn't bother me.Oliver and Olivia are super matchy but I don't hate it, I kinda think it's adorable. I don't mind how related they are because at the end of the day, they are the exact same length, it's not just one name and then the same but with some additional letters slapped on.Which is why I hate Kenzy and Kenzley. Literally the only thing differentiating these names is the "l" sound added in the second one. Truly, twin sets, where you can get one twin's name by crossing out some letters from the other one's are possibly my biggest naming pet peeve.

Oh dear. I would have liked Zoe if it didn't have a random -y stuck on the end. I wouldn't use Zachary, but it's sort of OK. I love Oliver and Olivia separately but not together. I deplore Brittney and Hunter. I'm not a fan of Sarah, but in this family it's a shining light of normality. As a foster child, little King isn't their choice. And then, along come Kenzy and Kenzley; are they conjoined? Identical? Fraternal? Same gender, or one of each? I just can;t imagine why anyone would think those names were a good idea. I'd rather have seen Janet and John: at least they've got more than a single sound that's different. Those twins will never know who's being called, so they'll - sensibly! - ignore their elders. Good for them.

Wow those twin names just steadily got worse. From "matchy but totally fine" to "literally the same name twice" to "they will never be able to tell which name you are calling." Also Kenzy but especially Kenzley are awful individually.

Zachary and Zoe aren't too bad. Kenzy and Kenzley aren't great but at least they are technically different names. Olivia and Oliver I can't support, it's like naming them Roberta and Robert.I don't mind themes in multiples names but giving them essentially the same names is something I can't get into, even though it is kitschy as heck and normally I am into that.
