Best Named Twins
It was brought to my attention that "Best Named Horse" leaves out twins with great twin names. So let's correct that.
Since twins are pretty rare, this contest is open to twins of any and all ages and of any status (active, retired, pensioned, etc.)
Enter here by posting the names of your twins and any comments/support/background you'd like.
Winners (3 GP's, 2 GP's, 1 GP's - depending on ties) will be determined by popular vote.

Re: Best Named Twins
I surprisingly got two sets of twins last year, back to back of all things. I'll submit Dancing Prince and Dancing Princess for the contest sired by Prince of Night out of Dynamic Dancer.
And an honorable mention to Touji and Geshi. Sired by Well Traveled out of Sunday Silence CAM Sairensa, their name comes from Well Traveled grand-dam Solstice. Touji means winter solstice in Japanese and Geshi means summer solstice.

Re: Best Named Twins
I'll nominate Cor and Corin, who are pair of G1 winning twins, out of the mare Cair Paravel. Cair Paravel is the castle in Narnia, and Cor and Corin are the twins in The Horse and His Boy, one of the books in the Narnia series.
I'd also like to nominate Thing One and Thing Two, bred by Xett and now owned by Hope Bentley, as those are just cool names.

I found a set of twin QH geldings on the sales page and named them Jekyll & Hyde
I don't really have a backstory for it, I just thought it would be cute.

Re: Best Named Twins

Re: Best Named Twins
The city of Troy is called similar names in different languages, so my colts by The Wilding out of Troya are:
Troia (an early name for Troy) and Truva (the Turkish name for Troy)

I'm just here for the fun of it

Re: Best Named Twins
Looking back, I sure didn't set many rules for entering -- apologies. The big thing, though, is the fun of reading these great names. In the hopes of seeing many more:
I'm dividing this contest into two:
GP Contest -- as described before. This is open to the breeder and/or namer and/or owner of the twins. Prizes will be GPs. Only one entry here per person.
Currently, we have:
Dancing Prince and Dancing Princess - Mary Whalen
Cor and Corin - Laura Ferguson
Jekyll and Hyde - Kenzie Larkin
Like It Naughty and Like It Nice - Janena Olson
Interwebbity Bits and Bytes - Ramey Furney
Horny Toad and A Hole In One - Clinton Jacinto
Troia and Truva - Carolyn Eaton
Thing One and Thing Two - Hope Bentley
Little Drunk and Very Tipsy - Kyasuriin Matumoto
"Go for the Glory" Contest.
This is open to anybody and for any set of twins not entered in the GP Contest (whether or not you have any connection to the twins). Prizes will be only the glory of winning -- but the glory is great! Again, only one entry per person (note that you can enter here even if you already have an entry in the GP contest) -- except for Leo, who disqualified himself from the GP contest, so gets two entries here. Currently, we have:
Touji and Geshi - Mary Whalen
The Good One and The Bad One - Leo Beagle
Minne and Sota - Leo Beagle
I'm hoping to see lots more twin's names!

Re: Best Named Twins
i have Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene............sired by greatest, out of a twilight daughter.
Cleopatra Selene II (Greek:η Κλεοπάτρα Σελήνη, 25 December 40 BC-6), also known as Cleopatra VIII of Egypt or Cleopatra VIII was a Ptolemaic Princess and was the only daughter to Greek Ptolemaic queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt and Roman triumvir Mark Antony. She was the fraternal twin of Ptolemaic prince Alexander Helios. Her second name in ancient Greek means "moon", being the counterpart of her twin brother‘s second name Helios, meaning "sun". She was of Greek and Roman heritage. Cleopatra was born, raised and educated in Alexandria, Egypt. In late 34 BC, during the Donations of Alexandria, she was made ruler of Cyrenaica and Libya.[1]

Re: Best Named Twins
I bred twin fillies and called them Flotsam (wreckage found in the water) and Jetsom (items that are thrown overboard so as to stabilise a boat or to make it lighter in an emergency) unfortunately, neither were very good on the race track.
