'My sister wants to give her twins 'matching' names - they'll hate her for it'

Every parent wants their child to succeed in school - but their grades shouldn't cost them their health or happiness. But one mum who wants her twins to achieve top grades in all subjects has decided to give them 'matching' college-inspired names to encourage them to reach their full potential.

Taking to Reddit, a woman explained how her sister, Katie, and brother-in-law, Daniel, want to name their twin boys Stanford and Yale. She said: "I’m the youngest of three siblings. Out of the three of us, Katie is the one who 'made it' (her words).

"She attended Yale law school and is engaged to a neurosurgeon, Daniel, who attended Stanford medical school. Over the years, it’s become clear that Katie looks down on me and Ian because we aren’t as ambitious/successful/credentialed as she is."
