Bwah! Jesse James.

I came across (via Google) another Caelan/Liam pair of twins born last year in the US.

My pair are the original (and best) though. cool.gif|:

No_idea!
[color=Teal]I too have a friend with a son named Jessie James! Not my cup of tea, but funny how it grows on you! But, there's no way I'd call one twin Jessie and the other one James. Now that's just too out there! ;p

I noticed there was a Kyle and Ryan, but no Kai's! I'm such a trail blazer!! ha ha ha Tounge1.gif

I went to school with twins Simon and Simone. They hated their 'matching' names. Simon eventually changed his name around (he was Simon Michael but is now Michael Simon).

My sister went to school with twins Alison and Amanda ... they hated it when mail came for Miss A Surname ... who is it for???

We are sooo not going for "matching" names - not even closely. Remember "Heather" and "Erica" from Degrassi (OK, i am showing my age here!) - Erica is the Latin name for the plant Heather.... puhlease.

I reckon twins will have enough identity issues without matching anythings, let alone names. Ours will be

Oliver and Sebastian
Isobel and Oliver
Olivia and Isobel
or maybe
Sebastian and Isobel

I am really pushing for Sebastian in the face of much resistance from DH. At the moment i am saying "you can call him whatever you like and i'll call him Sebastian" - talk about identity crisis :-)

For some reason DH has a pathological aversion to Celtic sounding names - heaven knows why, both families are all Scots. Shame, as there are some lovely Scots and Irish boys names (not that i know anything for sure, but I feel like they're boys)

Cheers,

Kate

I went to school with twin girls named

Sonya May and Tonya Gay

I remember when I was a little girl and I "decided" that I was going to have identical twins (but a boy and a girl, LOL) and call them Stephen and Stephanie. Now that I'm expecting twins I'm so glad that my taste in names has matured. Although DH might not agree on that - he hates all the names I love.
