Hank, as one of my long time friends, I can't tell you how happy I am for you and Ana. TWINS !?!? what, are you giving Pep a run for the money? I wish you all the best, keep me informed.

Holy crap! Is it true?!

I know how it is. I have twin boys 14 yrs and twin girls 3 yrs old.

Ziva,

Well if they are boys I keep teasing mywife by telling her that they will be "Remus and Romulus" or "Boudreaux and Thibideaux" But they might be girls or a combo.

Wow!!! Super congratulations to you and Anna. Rest up, you have a LOT of work ahead. This is great news!

There are 3 possibilities:

1) boy and boy
2) boy and girl
3) girl and girl

Any possibility makes you a winner in life's lottery. But the 1st makes you the winner of the Mega Millions drawing.

Congratulations and best wishes!

As the father of twin 10 year old girls, they are a joy. Congratulations.

But let me get back to you in 5 years on the joy part.

¡Coño, broder! Congratulations! Great news! Keep up the good work.

You could name one Jason. And the other could be The Argonaut. Or Pinky and The Brain. (I LOVE this game!) Muchas Felicidades to you & Ana, Henry! =D

I have twin uncles, Ronald and Donald. It could have been worse -- one suggestion was Chester and Lester.

The names do not have to rhyme! There is no rule about this!

And what would be the absolutely worst names of all for twins?

Fidel and Raúl.

And yet there are hundreds of twins in Cuba that are so named.

Those name "Fidel" cannot legally change their names.

Congratulations to you and Ana!

My only advice to you is, get your blogging in now, because once the kids are born, it's a whole new ballgame!

Congratulations! I've been an identical twin for 70 years now. I have no greater friend that my twin and my other sisters, but particularly my twin. We don't dress alike, or even have the same hobbies but we share an interest in everything each other does, our children are like siblings, and as for our grandchildren we love each others like our own. It a great thing to be a twin.

Finally I see something great happening to someone who deserves something great. I raise a glass this day to you and yours!
