Beware of Unison
The twins are often dressed the same but if their first names are too similar, unnecessary confusion can arise later. Especially with identical twins, mix-ups are almost inevitable if they also sound relatively the same. Examples are such well known first names as Mia and Maria. The children must always be called with their clearly pronounced first names. Changed first names such as Jonny and Jan can become an option here. It is advisable to choose two completely different first names that combine nicely with the family name. In this way, there can be no confusion about the naming of the first names, and the child is also granted greater individuality.
Funny Names?
Sometimes as early as kindergarten, but at the latest in the first grade at school, there can be amusement when twin siblings who start school together are named, for example Ernie and Bert. The first names should not expose children to ridicule. But even supposedly more serious names are quite borderline: The siblings will usually find it anything but nice to be smiled at with their first names. Increasing globalization or not: trend or particularly creations also lead to irritation and may make it difficult for the children to clarify their individual character. Not only the name at the beginning will ponder whether names are male or female – after all, according to current case law, the first name should indicate the gender of the child. Ultimately, both siblings will not necessarily thank their parents if they keep having problems with their unusual first names, which may start with spelling.
