like it, I do

... but not good if your last name's Rhea.

not good in such a bad way as to be perfectly, wonderfully ghastly in such a wonderfully wicked way. oh my!

I keep telling her if we just get ONE it won't sing the song. We must have a pair!


Mean mean woman.

Persian Girls' Names

Safiyeh - True friend
Samineh - A delicate thing

What I also like is how when you get outside of most English-speaking countries (and probably much of Europe, too) you start to see people naming their children according to what the name means. Other than looking it up online later in life, most people have no idea what their name means.

It just seems to be more important to other cultures than it is for our own

Serafina and Sophie

although the meanings are different.

Sophia

I like this site for name-meanings, as it seems well-researched.

Serafina

i love that name

... there was a ditzy club-hoppy bimbo-chick in the room next to me (her reputation preceded her, it was a small city) and she named her twin boys Zeke and Zak <Zig and Zag?>

Oy.

I'm partial to Riff.

Ironically, I used to hang with a guy named Raff in high school, who truly lived up to his name.

I got into some trouble!

Get it? Izziebella! My little girl cats (sisters) carry those names.

that is precious. cute and sweet...you should post a pic

Izzie-Orange Tabby Bella-Calico



and, all grown up!

Met a lady on a bus whose daughter just had twins and named them
Julian and Julia. She seemed a bit concerned that both would end up
with the same nickname. I suggested they could call Julia; Lea or maybe they
could call Julian; Ian.

Who knows!


Tikki

have the bond in the given name, too

named Larry and Gary..................

hanging out with a guy named Woody, by any chance?

Go Braves!

Not since 1991 with the "Tomahawk Chop"

peace.

Olga & Helga

Or, are you talking about people?

Charming young ladies.

Those poor girls!

By the time they got to college, they were pretty used to all the lame gags, jokes, comments and such. As I said, they were charming young women then, and as far as I know, are charming older women now.

Larry and Terry

Reeder and Ryder

I had an ex who claimed he would actually name his children that, twins or non-twins.

a huge Rocky and Bullwinkle fan

or maybe they weren't twins

Of course I can never remember which one is which. What were those parents thinking?

Almost forgot. I also have triplets/students named Matthew, Mark, and Michael. Used to have triplets named Jamie, Jill, and .... I forget the 3rd one.

Pleeeez.... think of their teachers, will you?!

The Dioscuri.

if they're girls. David and Mark if they're boys. Or any other names that are totally different from each other. That way, the twins can more easily think of themselves as individuals instead of copies of one another. If I'd had twins, I wouldn't have dressed them alike either.

After Pete died I had to get Repeat a buddy and that one I named Damnit only because he (or she - who knows) escaped when I was trying to put him (or her) into the pen and I yelled 'Get back here Damnit!' So the name kinda stuck.

That is pronounced Mar-Sa.

My sister and I were seven years apart but were named like twins: Karen and Sharon.

So suburban! and the dog was named Lady.

My Dad actually has them tattooed on his chest. One says "Hey You!" and the other says "Who Me?" Yeah, he was a Sailor.

family name) BTW the the boy will be know most like by his middle name James-if his father has any say about it. (interesting if Mom or Dad wins out.)

twin boys named Frank Fritz and Fritz Frank.

But that's no stranger than the real names of Ann Landers and Dear Abby, who were identical twins in real life:

Esther Pauline and Pauline Esther

Like Kellie and Shellie, Harry and Barry, etc.

just a couple of cool medical words
