urgh, Collins for a girl reminds me of a family on IG who have a little girl named Rawlings. they also have other children, including boys named Wales, Tag and Bridge! šŸ¤¢
I think I have come across them on YouTube too, as I watch a lot of videos for Christmas/birthday present ideas for children. There is another family with three girls, the eldest and youngest have names I quite like ( Sophie or Sophia and Lexi, though that may just be a nickname/short version of Alexia or something, but still quite cute/not awful), but the middle one is called Remi, blech!
 
My uncle's girlfriend has recently had someone marry into her extended family and is now called Jade Spade ... personally I would've kept my own name lol

Dont remember if Iā€™ve posted it beforeā€¦ was in school with identical twins Amelia and Emilia
All of those names are terrible for twins! A former colleague said she knew of twins called CĆ“me ( an old French name, I think Cosmo would be the English equivalent) and PacĆ“me. Unfortunately, PacĆ“me sounds just like pas CĆ“me, which means ā€œnot CĆ“meā€!
My mum has a twin sister and they have the same initial, which was bad enough when post addressed to Miss S. Lastname.
There are 4 brothers in the block of flats I live in, and they all have names that start with A, which are unusual/obscure. Must be so confusing for them/their parents!
Family friends also have 4 children, 3 girls, one boy, and they all have identical initials, plus silly spellings for said names ( along the lines of Kameron instead of Cameron).
I find it funny that all of the Kardashian/Jenner ladies have names that start with K, except the brother, Robert!
I look after a brother and sister who have lovely classic names that work well in English and in French, and they start with the same initial, and I sometimes muddle them up!
 
Canā€™t remember if Iā€™ve posted this before, but my mum knew of twins called Sam and Ellaā€¦

I'm one of twins, my and my sister each have a legal name in Chinese and a different name we use in English - similar to "Hermione" and "Sarah" (i.e. very common name + longer name associated with mythology / classics.) I never really thought about it but over the years a few people have commented on it sounding a bit mismatched, I guess I can see where they're coming from lol

I went to school with twins called Gillian and Julian. Odd thing was nothing was ever mentioned about it.

Do your Chinese names share a character? I know Chinese twins and their names both start ā€œWenā€.

This was in France, but yes, being called CĆ“me ( pronounced like cone but wit( an m not an n) in English-speaking countries could be interesting!

(Not sure if he's a distant relative of Colonel Sanders šŸ¤”)
