feeling bad for these twins

[khedron]

Whilst looking about the SSA's website for information on self-employement taxes and social security, I stumbled across this fun page: popular twins names in 2004. I have to say, I feel a little bad for those kids whose names are trivial alterations of each other, like Mia and Mya, or Ella and Emma. Of those near duplicates, though, my favorite is the fraternal twins pair Brian and Brianna. 16 of those in 2004!

Some of these are horrible. Other than the sound-alikes - "Jesse" and "James"? Oof.

At least there was no "Jacob / Esau" - or at least less than 13 of them.

I saw that one too. "Mark" & "Matthew" also rang a bell, but it's not the Bad Pun bell.

"Madison" & "Mason"???

and don't forget ...

Bess had twins as campers: Shawn and Sean. (The latter was pronouced to rhyme with 'seen'). -- Will
