Even the kids understand...

I started a new job last week and as much as some of the names in my new class are not to my taste there's only one sibling set that really has me shaking my head. Twin brothers (thankfully not identical) called Brendan and Brayden.

No. Just no.

Everyone mixes them up all the time and they're similar enough looking that it only complicate things by giving them very similar names. The group is between 2.5yo and 3.5yo and yesterday I heard another children address one of the twins as "Brayden-or-Brendan" like it was one name. Usually kids are the ones who correct adults on names but I guess this is just too similar.
