Out of curiosity, though it's straying a bit off the topic, I was wondering what you would think about my two sisters? They were not twins, but were born only one year apart. Their names were Patricia and Pamela, but they were always called Patty and Pammy. (Patty is still Patty now that we're adults, but Pammy has become Pam.) My mother used to often, though not always, dress them alike. Many people were under the mistaken impression that they were fraternal twins. Do you think it's still a mistake to give your children matchy names and matching clothes if they're NOT twins? Just wondering, I won't be offended by any answer.
