Twins

Yesterday I met two amazingly cute little girls (around 4 years, I think). They were identical twins.

Their names, you ask?

Melinda and Melissa.

Poor kiddo's.

I wonder if they'll fight over who gets to be Mel

I hate matching names on any family members, but especially twins because they're already close enough in everything else they clearly need something to distinguish them.

I don't think they will, their mom called them Melly and Lissa, so I'm guessing they go by those names :)

The fact that the names are so close together does kinda suck, but I'm a Melinda and there's a whole bunch of nicknames that can be used.

I'm not fond of either name...although I do like how they start with the same letters for twins.

I like it when twins names are like that ex. Michelle and Matthew (not my fav names just an example lol)

Ohhh, that's awful. :-\

Melissa is a cute name, but I think Melinda is horrid and dated. Especially when put together. Poor kids.

I think Melissa is pretty dated too, I never hear kids named Melissa these days.

Yeah, I'll agree with that, it's not very popular anymore. But at least, to me, it still has a pretty sound to it.

I know a bunch of girls named Melissa! Ages vary from 2 months until 20 years ;)

Mel and Mel....hmmm no.

[todaydream.livejournal.com]

My first thought too! The mom called them Melly and Lissa, though, so it might work out, but still.. way too similar for my taste.

Because they have this wrong idea in their head that it's cool?

I dunno. It's fairly horrible, but it's certainly not the worst thing I've seen on this community. They're both actual names, and reasonable unsual. At least they weren't called 4real and Satan.

But yeah, I'm also baffled as to why.

[todaydream.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's not the worst thing, but I still feel a little sorry for them..

One of my really good friends is named Melinda (nicknamed Min), her older sister is Melissa and her brother's name is Mason.

[todaydream.livejournal.com]

Really? I like all the names, I really do, I just think it's too much to use them all within the family ;)

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

I really like Mason and Min, but I agree with you, all in one family is too much.
