HelpRe: Hannah and Hannah.
in reply to a message by Kelseyyy
Have you tactfully told the Hannahs that this is one truly screwy, preggo-brain idea? I even fear these two boys may end up resenting their mothers and each other.
My bf and I named our first dds Katelyn (Katie) and Katherine (Kate). We hadn't had contact for about three years so we were shocked to discover that we had each married a man named James and given birth to dds with almost identical names. For the rest of Tina's life (she passed away in 2001 from breast cancer), we remained close, however, Katie and Kate (born two months apart) just never clicked. They were completely different. Tina and I never forced the relationship between our girls although we spent as much time together as we could. Long story short, Katie and Kate are no longer friends. That kind of thing must evolve naturally.
The only thing I can suggest is giving one child the name John and naming the other a variant of that: Sean, Ian, Evan, Ivan, etc., so each child could have his own identity Or, one could be named John and the other Jonathan (and that's bad enough, imo). Another idea is to use a theme of some sort: nature, Biblical, physical characteristic, virtue, etc.
PS: I read below where you said the boys were being raised as identical twins but even identical twins have different names (for the most part). ;-)
