Fraternal twins run in my family, so that's what I'd thought of as two easy non-rhyming names if I had twins that were a boy and a girl.
The three and a half sets of twins (my father's first wife nearly lost the pregnancy in a car accident, but one managed to survive and made it to full term, thus the "half" twin) in my family are all boys. Only one set of them have rhyming names...the other two have same-letter(s) names: uncles Alvin Kay ("K" for my grandmother's name of Katherine) Calvin Jay ("J" for my grandfather's name of John) brothers David Duane is the twinless twin nephews Kyle Adam and Kameron Budd ("A" and "B" for birth order) first cousins Brent Thomas and Bradley Andrew (I love my aunt and uncle's choices in names - this uncle is a brother to Calvin and Alvin)
I went to school with quintuplets and I know their parents thought they were only having TWINS so they were really scrambling to find names for them...I can only imagine the generation of IVF parents having multiple births trying to figure out all the names for their kids! WHEW!
