Bad Names For Twins

Simon and Garfunkel?
'Ronnie and Reggie' might be asking for trouble.
Especially if they're girls, of course.
I'd laugh to meet a pair of identicals where one is called, 'Clone'.
I like this game!
How about these:
Her and It
Martin and The Freak
Michelle and Beelzebub
Egg and Spoon
Lib and Lab
Paris and Aberystwyth
Simon and Pythagoras' Theorem
Baby and Placenta
Brilliant! Another reason to stop working/socialising/sleeping...
Twins where one is destined to do considerably better than the other in the long run:
Jason and Kylie
Pete and Dud
Sonny and Cher
Mozart and Salieri
Twins where one is destined to outlive the other:
Hardy and Napolean
VHS and Betamax
Granny Lark and Grandad Lark
Twins who will both meet a nasty ending:
Thelma and Louise
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Twins who will argue all the time:
Laurel and Hardy
Dastardly and Muttley
Twins where one is destined to kill the other:
Caesar and Brutus
George and Ringo?
destined for incest:
Harry and Sally
These are great! You funny guys, you. Excellent results can also be obtained by mixing and matching: 'Dastardly and Garfunkle', for instance, or 'Betamax and Placenta' or 'Granny Lark and the Sundance Kid'.
Here are a few more:
Romulus and Retard
Diana and Camilla
Stephen but Clive
Michael Henderson + 1
Now, for the sake of tedious pedantry, I think it's worth pointing out that we're looking at names specifically for twins, not just for siblings. So let's look at ones that have particular resonance for twins, particularly, I'd imagine, identical ones.
That said, here's some more:
Emma and Emma's Organ Donor
Paul and Paul's Alibi
The One We're Dressing In Green and The One We're Dressing In Blue
Laura and Why Couldn't This One Have Been A Boy
Sally and No Wait Maybe This One's Sally
James Casey makes a good point. Along those lines:
Jonny and Stillbirth
Sandra and Deformed
Kevin and Kevin Just Slightly Uglier
Luke and Up For Adoption
Rachael and Where's Rachael's Sister? Oh Who Cares
Barbara and Clean the Scullery, There's No Handsome Prince Coming For You This Is Real Life
Raymond and Thank God It Wasn't Triplets
And some more...
Heir and Born A Minute Too Late
X and Y
Yes and No
Number One and Poo
John and John
Adolf and Josef
Charity and Accountancy
Eric and The Concept of Chance
I really like James' "Luke and Up For Adoption" and Matt's straightforward solution in "John and John", and of course many of John's originals which kicked us all off. Joe I feel needs to spend less time writing award-winning novels and working out how to win variations on 'Ex-Libris' and put in some serious nameage.
Huey Lewis and The News?
-- A Fan
How about:
Gladys Knight and The Pips
Jason and The Argonauts
Sex and The City
Faith and Atheism
Duck and Cover
Null and Void
Loved and Afterthought
Forgiven and Forgotten
or triplets:
Signed, Sealed and Delivered.
"Forgiven and Forgotten" I like a lot, but I fear Joe is stretching our credulity in his last minute bid to be taken seriously in the game.
"The Pips" and "The Argonauts" are surely not names for individuals, but for twins joined at the hip in some way. So we're actually talking about a whole new category of individual siblings twinned to a pair of Siamese twins. I'm not even sure such a thing is possible. (Certainly they wouldn't be identical twins, would they?)
David and Goliath
Lucy and Lucy's Twin
Gerry and Gerry with defect
James and that other one.
Jekyll and Hyde.
Edward 1st and Edward 2nd
Expected child and Whoa a second one!
Dolly and Clone
How do, how's you?
Little & Large (the unofficial nickname for the twin identical nephews in my life.)
Rich & No, he's ten mins younger.
Sam & Hurry up: we'll be late.
Botchit & Scarper.
Brian & Stewie.
Morph & Chas.
Roobarb & Custard.
Herbie & Vore #
Emmy & Oscar.
Two sisters who'll always hate each other.
Jennifer & Angelina.
*Crawls back to flu-ridden sofa and re-editing.*
James C - the "One we're dressing in green/blue." You know my parents, surely?
# With "thanks" to the now folded Muzik magazine for that one.
My God, I've created a monster! But a lovely monster. As if Frankenstein's creature turned out to do a lot of secret work for charity.
My favourites from the new lot are 'Lucy and Lucy's Twin'; 'Forgiven and Forgotten'; 'Eric and the Concept of Chance' and 'The One We're Dressing In...' But my favourite individual name is still 'Grandad Lark'. There's just so much potential in a child called 'Grandad'...
Two more...
Sam & Ella
Porgy & Bess
And that's it.

Frank and Woodley

Cheech and Chong
I've got identical twins that are called Jacob and Tobias - when I told my Dad he asked if Tobias would be called Toby. I said yes.
"So people would all be asking, is it Toby, or not Toby? That is the question!" he replied.
So I always think how I could have called them Toby and Not Toby, if I was a cruel mother...
(Thinking of Arthurian mythology)
Guinevere and Morgana
Arthur and Mordred
Merlin and Nimueh
Or to take a different tack:
Sherlock and Moriarty (or Jim)
I heard tell of a pair of American twins that were called Orange Jello and Lemon Jello...
I know I'm late to this party, but I feel I have to share this one: Many years ago I worked in a hospital. I was talking with one of the girls from maternity one day, and she told me that a couple of staff had to take a moment aside that morning to dissuade a woman from her conviction to name her twin boys James and Jim. The naming wasn't meant as a joke; the mother genuinely wasn't aware of the relationship between the two names.
Jack and Jill?
How about
sunlight and megabyte (i know some one cruel enough to call their kids this)
