The joys of helping out at the library's Summer Reading kids thing?

Seeing twin boys named Elliot Tate and Tate Elliot respectively.

What do you think?

Lack of creativity much?

I think that's a mess and incredibly ridiculous.

That's sad that at 5, he already understands how silly this is and wants to rectify it.

I like both names Elliot & Tate, but come ON.

Edited to add:
I went to high school with a guy who was James Nathan, and he went by Nathan/Nate. His younger brother was Nathan James, and went by James. I was just like...really?

Very lazy!

My husband is a twin and when I told him this he said "I would have killed my parents..."

I dated a guy in high school who wanted to name our hypothetical children Sparky and Sparticus, so I am inclined to agree with you.

In all honesty, I really, really, really wish that he had been.

I don't like the names themselves, but the "theme" (I guess you'd call it...) doesn't bother me. It links them even further.

BUT after childhood when they are not together all the time, no one will know? most people dont go by their 1st and mns. so it eventually will not be an issue IMO.

but yes. pretty lazy. why not name one Tate and one Elliot and give the the same middle name?

One of our good friends just had a baby named William Andrew. William was her husband's father and Andrew was her father, both deceased. They said that son #2 will be Andrew William. My husband and I just smiled and nodded in person... but can't they think of a different name?

He is Patrick Stephen and his twin is Thomas William. They are named after their Dad (Thomas Patrick) and two different uncles.

Lazy, unimaginative, and not great for teaching the twins that they are individuals.

What if one twin like his mn/his brothers name better than his own? He cannot switch up to use his mn as a nn. Meh.

That is impossibly lazy. They could give the kids separate names because...why?

My husband and his "Irish twin" brother were Sean Michael and Michael Sean until my in-laws came to their senses and changed Michael's middle name to something different.
