JLo Finds Inspiration in Dragon Tales?

Jennifer and Marc Anthony might've used a PBS Kids show to pick baby names.

Picking baby names is no easy task, pouring over reference books, racking our brains for that perfect heroic character in a novel or ... just watching cartoons. According to Star magazine, Jennifer Lopez's Mom, Guadalupe, was seen picking up his-and-her matching baby I.D. bracelets engraved with the names Max and Emme.

Wait, aren't they the kids from Dragon Tales? Did Jen catch an episode of the popular PBS cartoon and settle on her twins' names just like that? Hmm, the brother-sister characters do have parents who are heard but never seen--could their names be Marc and Jennifer?

Truth is, everything's twice as hard with twins, including naming them. We asked BabyNames.com founder and Mom•Logic friend Jennifer Moss for some tips on naming multiple bundles. Jennifer says, "Name twins just as you would name siblings two years apart and avoid "rhyme-y" or "matching" names. You may think it's cute, but the twins need their own identities, and by the time they hit high school, it won't be cute anymore."

I have a twin brother, and it was very important to my mother to give us a different names, and that I will have a girl name and my brother a boy name, so their no confusion.

Personally, I think Max and Emme are beautiful names. So what, if coincidentally two cartoon characters have the same names? I bet JLO doesn’t even know of Dragon Tales existance! I bet if you mentioned it to her she’d have no clue what it was. And by the way, Emme is different then Emmy. Believe me. Its very different.
