Wesley is a family name in my husband's family too. My grandfather didn't have a middle name either. Trey is a cute name. They didn't go in for names that sound alike I see. Ours are Daymon and Devon. When they were first learning to talk they called each other Dayvon. Didn't have seperate identities yet in their minds.
How cute that they called each other Dayvon! There have been no twins in any of our families until now, and I have heard they have some special abilities between each other. Gabby wasn't even going to dress them alike but now she's changing her mind, at least while they are little. She is going to keep them in the same bassinet by the bed for a while. Poor Steven is relegated to a twin bed in Henry's room so he can get some sleep! Steven also said English (his parents are from there and now live in Vancouver) name children after parents a lot. His father Gerry was named for his father and his mother, Mary, was named for her mother. I told him that has to make family reunions pretty interesting!
Twins run every 3rd generation in my family. My aunt and uncle have twins and Jarren(one of the twins) and his wife had twin boys 5 mos before our twins were born. What is more interesting is both sets are fraternal but both sets strongly resemble the other set. They would be third cousins I believe.
Daymon and Devon are as differant as chalk and cheese. They were inseperable as infants. I took one outside and sat on the swing and the other one did not see us go outside as he was in another room but my DH said he bawled and bawled until I brought his brother back in the house. I forgot and stepped outside another time with the one that cried and the other one did the same thing even tho he didn't see me go outside.
Now they are 5 and they fight alot!! But they still think of themselves as one most times. Devon especially will always say we instead of I.
My DH named their dad when he was born after himself. So we have always called our son Little Glen. Well he is 6"3" and when Devon was 3 he heard me call him Little Glen and 3 yr old short! Devon looked up to his dad's face and said he doesn't look little to me!!! Yes it can be ve ry difficult having someone named after his dad. We have had problems with banking accounts and bills going to the wrong one and When people would call I would always ask which one do you want and people would be dumbfounded and not know what to say.
