Matching names

[bratty-lil-fae.livejournal.com]

So we all talk about matching sibling names, and family names, I have run into a few entertaining husband/wife combos recently that had me giggling.

Now obviously this isn't their parents doing, but it's rather amusing to see "Lee and Lea" or "Kelly (m) and Kellie (f)" coming across my desk at work :P

My husband is Ryan and I am Rhian. People always mispronounce my name as "Ryan" at first so a lot of times people think we have the same name. We don't obviously but it is close enough that I wouldn't date him at first bc I knew I'd end up marrying him since our names basically match hahaha

We also apparently look alike so when people hear our names and don't know we are married they think we're twins. This freaks me out for obvious reasons. We don't look THAT much alike. Just both have fair Irish skin and dark hair. He's taller than me by about five inches and his eyes are light green/blue and mine are super dark brown so I don't see it but we have been asked twice now if we are twins so wtf?
