Haha! I'm glad that matching twin names is mostly a relic of the past. :)
Those names are hilarious. Trying not to laugh out loud, so I don't wake dad up. Older twin names I personally know. Jay and Fay, Della and Zella, Michael and Marcia, Joyce and Jannette, Jared and Jarom. The list could go on.
