    Well over the course of today I have had a Simon, Si & Kai (well similar pattern as actual names not used) in my setting! Might have to give them nicknames in future!

    I had 4 under 4s today and all of them ended with an "ee" sound and were short names. I don't usually have them all together and often call them the wrong names anyway but today they probably didn't have a clue if I had actually spoken to them or not lol!

    I have 2 boys with same name one day a week - but one of them (the new younger one) mum calls him Boo - so I call the other one by his name ? and the other one ? Boo - I can't bring myself to just call him Boo, feel he should get used to answering to his name.

    I once looked after siblings from two families -each set had the same names, that did get confusing!

    I have 2 boys with the same first name (5 days in a week). I tend to use their surname too to differentiate. Sounded so funny when a little brother started calling his brother by his full name when at home too! I also have 2 sets of soundalikes which gets interesting... No wonder I tend to call them all "Bob" (all 15 of them, girls & boys)
