Naming twins can be tricky but this mum’s decision is causing controversy
One mum decided to give her newborn twins the same name and people were shocked.
Taking to Reddit, a co-worker of the new mum wrote:
“I cannot believe that there is a split opinion on this at my office, but here we go.
“A co-worker of mine recently had twin boys after a long battle with infertility. She has made her first appearance in the office with her new babies to introduce them to our team.”
The co-worker continued:
“When asked what she had named the boys (as up until this appearance she was undecided) she told me that she was naming them ‘Sean.’”
Yep, that is right – both babies would be named Sean. However, one, the new mum explained, would be spelled with an ‘a’ and the other one with an ‘e,’ so they would be Sean and Seen.
Baffled at the whole thing, the co-worker continued:
“Note that their last name is also ‘Sean.’ When I pointed this out she said, ‘yes, like Tom Tom or Jay Jay.’
Caught off guard and without thinking, the person telling the story on Reddit allegedly told the new mom:
“That is the most idiotic thing I’ve heard, and it’s going to be so confusing.”
Other colleagues were left confused by the new mum’s decision too, however, they felt it was not anyone’s place to tell her what she could or could not name her boys.
The parents have since decided to change one of their baby’s names.
“Despite the fact they had already sent off the paperwork for their birth certificates, they called up the office and the paperwork had only been provisionally processed (due to Xmas time), and they have used this time to reassess.
“They have withdrawn the paperwork (FOR SEEN ONLY) and will think of a new name, but they are keeping Sean Sean as they like it.”
Did she pick the wrong name for her twins?
