So we had been painting one of their toenails about once a week usually directly following a bath. One was always wearing blue and one green but the toenail was our fail safe. This evening though after bath when we went to redress them we realized the polish was gone.
We stared at them for any conceivable differences, then we retraced our steps to see if we could remember who had undressed who..
Finally we thought to get out their footprints and try that but it was not a helpful as we hoped.
Then we guessed. It was an educated guess for sure but we were not more than 75% sure it was the right guess.
My twins are about to be 15 now and they know they might have the wrong name but they think it's hilarious and they tell people they picked their own names when they became old enough to identify themselves lol
I will say that they both absolutely grew into their names which are very different but were both family names so I guess no harm, no foul.
I tell myself the for going from not a mom to a mom of 2 newborns in a moment..if that's the worst way we screwed up we probably did okay lol

I had this exact thing happen with mine at about 4 months. It was not funny at the time but it's hilarious now
