This father-to-be is in dispute with his wife. They are expecting twins, and they are kinda having a debate on what to name their twins.

According to the father, who is the OP, he did not like the idea of having matching twin names. He had a twin sister too and growing up, they had so many "matching" things and for him, it came to a point when it was already annoying.

Since he experienced all these, he didn't want his twins to experience the same thing. But his wife disagreed.

The wife thinks having matching names is cute. She's really into the matching names as she finds it very cute, and the father is not okay with it.

He even said to let the children decide on what to match and what should not be matched when they grow older. While his sister agrees with him, his wife is still not okay with it.

What do you think will this couple do? Let us know your thoughts and maybe we can help the couple make a better decision when it comes to choosing the names of their kids.

Don't forget to share this post with your family and friends as well. Thank you for reading this post.

Original post

Here's the original post of the father-to-be. He's surely not okay with the matching of names for their twins.

First hand knowledge

The father had a twin sister, and he knows the real deal. The father-to-be and his twin sister know both agreed that it is not cool at all.

Twins know

We hope that the twins won't hate each other in the future in case the mother wins. This will just cause confusion in the future.

Twins are two separate individuals

This poster said that twins are also two separate individuals. The mother should be enlightened about this.

One more vote for dad

And the dad gets one more vote! Twins with very similar names will just cause confusion when they grow old.

On point

Let the kids decide on their own once they grow older. But the question right now is - what will their parents name them?

And another twin said...

Not having a matching twin name is good. It's annoying enough to be very similar to someone.

Lack of individuality

The father scores one more point. Looks like he is going to win this.

Let's hope the children won't hate each other

If they will have matching names, let's hope that the children won't hate each other. People are already giving unsolicited advice.

Being cute is not a basis

Saying that having a matching name is cute, doesn't mean it's good enough to make such a big decision. It's a permanent thing that the twins will bring all their lives.

First hand experience

The father should educate the wife more on what can happen if the twins will have matching names. He needs to stand firm on his ground.

Having twins is cute. They sometimes look alike and they may share similar characteristics.

But this does not mean they have to share the same thing every time. Especially when it comes to their names.

Twins are separate individuals. They will have different lives eventually.
