When we were told that we that we might be having twins (thankfully proven false) Alexander and I realized that the only names we like for girls started with M - Margaret and Miriam. Our top chose for a boy was Malcolm - boy/girl would have been Miriam and Malcolm. The first thing I thought was "Oh No! My kids will hate me." Until I realized just how many siblings share the same initials and lived through it trauma-free. It's not like it's Mimi and Miri or Dustin and Dusti.

I've mentioned this before, but, for new posters, my brother and I were Jean and John. Both of us liked our names. Actually, I know twins named Carol and Cheryl, who grew up happily, and on good terms with their parents.

my stepfather...Is Larry and his twin sister is Linda. They also grew up happy and normal, in spite of their same-letter names, and the fact that each had four or five other kids with the same name in school.

I was quite an age before I realized that twins need not be named Plinkety and Plunkety. I met a girl who had twins siblings named Claire and David, and I thought, "Can you do that?"Popular names-my daughter, Carol, was always one of 2 or 3 Carols (mostly spelled Carole) in the same class.The name was having a time of usage in the French-speaking community, which I hadn't realized, and anyway, my husband was completely charmed by the name..so pretty! So unusual! (He's from the Middle East.)
