    Story here.

    Not quite the same, but Evelyn Waugh's wife was named Evelyn. According to Wikipedia, their friends called them “He-Evelyn” and “She-Evelyn.”

Then @Sir_T-Cups (Sir T-Cups) said

    Cute story.

@AskNott (AskNott) replied

    Yes, it is a cute story. I wish them good luck, and I hope they're just as cheerful about the confusion after the 50th time some governmental desk jockey decides there can't possibly be two of them.

Then @HeyHomie (HeyHomie) said

    I hope they name their first baby Seamus.

@tdn (tdn) replied

    I hope they name all of their kids Kelly.

    I'm pretty sure that neither Michael Inbar nor his editor has a clear grasp of what the word "viral' means. It's a really unfortunate adjective to pair with “flirting,” especially since it doesn't apply to the situation in any meaningul way.

    I was thinking that as well. Maybe he misspelled “virtual” and his spellchecker auto-corrected it to “viral.”

    So when mail comes to the house how do you know who it is for???
    
    Such burning questions arise.

    Doesn't viral flirting lead to a penicillin shot?

So @ivylass (ivylass) replied

    That's really sweet. Just goes to show you never know how Facebook interactions will turn out!

Then @gigi (gigi) said

    Hmmm…they look like they might be related.

    Ha, I thought that too, when I took a look at the picture. The two of them smile the same, and have very similar features.
    
    But according to the article, they looked back 250 years and saw no link, so…

@Green_Bean (Green Bean) replied

    Well, at least nobody will ever tell Ms. Hildebrandt “No, you can't use that credit card because it has your husband's name on it, not yours.”

    No penicillin is only good for a bacterial flirting.

So @Cazzle (Cazzle) replied

    I wonder if she'll keep her maiden name, or take his?

    Hyphenation is the way to go: Kelly Hildebrandt-Hildebrandt.

    A quick, simple DNA test would probably have been more informative if they were serious about that. Family history records are not always particularly reliable; even official birth, death and marriage certificates can be riddled with inaccuracies, omissions and lies.

    Wouldn't that be Kelly-Kelly Hildebrandt-Hildebrandt?
