I knew a girl whose father named his whole family using similar names deliberately to make things more difficult for the authorities in terms of sorting out income tax, inheritance tax and in case of possible arrest.

So (and you understand I am substituting names now) the father was Andrew James Smith so his eldest son was also Andrew John Smith, his next son was James Andrew Smith and his daughter was Angela Jane Smith.

She told me with great pride one day when the subject of middle names came up. I'd never met anyone from that sort of family before and it floored me.

Back to twins - when I was working in Asda in the evenings I worked in the Baby section of the store, and had to help a woman with twins to find something. Of course I admired her twin sons and asked their names. The first was Red - unusual but pretty cool I thought. Then she told me the name of the other. Blue.

I am not joking and neither was she.
