BEING an identical twin can be confusing - but imagine how it feels when you also share the same name.
This is the case for twin sisters Marie and Marie, who have been confusing internet users with their posts.

On their @doublemaries account, the German sisters shared snaps of them together, and said: 'Told him I have a twin.
'We are named the same.'
The blonde sisters document their travels and life together online, where they call themselves 'twin explorers' and 'double the fun, double the adventure.'
Many people were baffled at their claim they were given the same name by their mum.
One wrote: 'Is it allowed to be called the same? Like being twins.'
Another added: 'God really said copy and paste.'
And a third commented: 'Your poor partners gotta be soooo careful.'
And one queried: 'I thought this is illegal.'
In a video they joked that being a twin with the same name has some benefits, including the option of taking exams for one another.
They are also able to prank people - including dates - who have no idea that they are twins.

However, there are a number of drawbacks.
Marie explained: "The problem is we have the same picture, name, date of birth and address.
'You don't even wanna know how many problems come up.'
Not only have they had issues with post arriving for one another, but also in school, where teachers had to call them 'Marie 1' and 'Marie 2' to differentiate them.

One person asked if they had ever shared their frustration with their mum for giving them the same name.
Marie said: 'Nope, we're actually thankful for the name.'
They added that their mum also has no regrets about the name choice, but they said that it can be hard to feel like they have their own identities.
One person replied: 'This would be the worst thing ever if one of you ever committed a crime.'
The twins said in response: 'No it wasn't me.. it was Marie!!'
Another pointed out: 'So you can take each other's driving test??' to which the girls joked: 'Maybe.'

Who are Patchwork? Here are 11 artists rumoured to be performing secret sets at Glastonbury
Later this month 135,000 people will pack into Worthy Farm for perhaps the biggest musical event of the year - the Glastonbury Festival. They'll see headliners The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young, along with hundreds of other acts across over 100 stages. But looking at the schedule on the official website, music fans will see numerous timeslots with 'TBA' next to them - with no indication of who will be playing. It could be a global megastar, or some busker from down the road on an acoustic guitar. Such is the joy of the festival. There are some big gaps to be filled - on Friday there's 11.30am on the Woodsies Stage, 4.55pm on the Pyramid Stage, and 8.30pm on the BBC Introducing Stage. On Saturday, expect plenty of interest about who exactly 'Patchwork' are - third on the Pyramid Stage bill. Meanwhile there will be surprises for prime spots on the Park Stage at 7.30pm and the Shangri-la Stage at midnight. On Sunday, those opting to go to the BBC Introducing Stage at 8.30pm could be in for a treat (or not). Rumours are rife about who will be performing - here are 11 possibilities. 1 . Lewis Capaldi Scotland's own Lewis Capaldi is a hot favourite to play a surprise set before Alanis Morissette on the Friday on the Pyramid Stage at 4.55pm. Two years ago he famously needed the crowd's help to finish a song due to his much-publicised health problems, which led to him taking a career break. He has unfinished business. | Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Haim The three sisters of Haim have a new album out and are in the UK with free time on Glastonbury weekend. The fact that there's a book called 'Patchwork' written by a German author called Sylvia HAIM means some people reckon they've solved the riddle of who will be appearing third on the bill on the Saturday. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Kneecap Probably the most talked-about band of the whole festival, Irish rappers Kneecap will be playing the West Holts Stage at 4pm on the Saturday - despite being dropped from Scottish festival TRNSMT. Other appearances have been rumoured though - they could pretty much pop up anywhere at anytime. | Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty Ima Photo Sales 4 . Robbie Williams Robbie Williams is currently touring with a huge stadium show, earning praise from fans and critics alike. He's not doing anything else on the weekend of Glastonbury, where he last performed back in 1998. His new album Britpop features the singer at Glastonbury in 1995, when he famously hung out with Oasis and acter in a manner not approved of by his Take That paymasters.

Romeo Beckham leaves party with German influencer after break-up
Romeo Beckham has been spotted on a night out with a German influencer days after his break-up with Kim Turnbull was revealed. The middle son of David and Victoria Beckham, Romeo initially followed in his dad's footsteps and pursued a career in football. However last year he turned down a contract with Brentford FC to stay on with their B team and instead pursue a career in fashion. After breaking up with long-term girlfriend Mia Regan in February last year, the 22-year-old went on to date model and DJ Kim Turnbull, 26. But after a seven-month romance, and amid rumours of a Beckham family feud, last week it was revealed Romeo and Kim had split. A few days on, Romeo has been photographed on a night out with Caroline Daur, a model and influencer who boasts 4.6 million followers on Instagram. Late on Saturday night the pair were spotted leaving the same party at the Hotel Costes in Paris. Although she arrived alone around 11.30pm, Caroline and Romeo later slipped into the same car despite leaving the venue separately. They then headed to the French capital's trendy Julia nightclub, where they partied until 2:30am. However, security was reportedly on high alert, doing everything to shield her from the cameras including swearing at photographers. Despite initially travelling together, Romeo and Caroline then left the club separately. However, a source went on to tell MailOnline: 'Romeo was in town for work meetings, Roland Garros and also caught up with friends. He had dinner with his three friends one of whom is great friends with Caro, so she joined the group. It was a casual dinner in a group setting throughout the evening.' Caroline, 30, was born and raised in Hamburg, and started fashion blogging in 2014. Over the years she's worked with companies including Adidas, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Valentino and has founded her own brand and fitness program. The influencer has also starred in the Amazon Prime production Dinner Club and Netflix's She Said Yes. Overnight she shared a series of photos and videos from the French Open, where Romeo was seen on Friday attending the semi-final match between Italy's Lorenzo Musetti and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros. Dressed in a navy suit and black t-shirt, Romeo appeared somewhat downcast in some of the images taken at the game. It came after a source said Romeo and Kim had an 'amicable' split that has 'nothing to do' with the Beckham rift after her name was drawn into the drama after it was claimed she'd previously dated her boyfriend's brother Brooklyn, 26. 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up,' a friend told the Daily Mail. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.' The source went on to say each had a 'busy careers' and their travel schedules meant that 'having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives'. More Trending Romeo previously dated model and content creator Mia, 22, for five years. When announcing their split in February last year, he wrote on Instagram: 'Mooch and I have parted ways after 5 years of love. We still have a lot of love and respect for each other and still hold a strong friendship and always will.' After featuring in a Burberry campaign when he was just 10, last year Romeo signed with fashion agency Paris Safe management and has since modelled for Versace at Milan Fashion Week.

Romeo Beckham moves on from girlfriend Kim 'with blonde model' in Paris
Romeo and Kim split just two weeks ago. Romeo Beckham only split with his ex, Kim Turnbull, a few weeks ago and has apparently already moved on. The second eldest Beckham child was spotted with a blonde model in Paris. David and Victoria Beckham's 22-year-old son has found himself surrounded by rumours of a family feud after his older brother Brooklyn, 26, decided to avoid their dad's 50th birthday. Brooklyn was reportedly 'uneasy' about Romeo dating Kim, as he was once close friends with her, and felt his parents were 'favouring' his younger brother, who was seen beaming in snaps from David's birthday, writes the Mirror. Amid the family rift, Romeo and Kim parted ways two weeks ago and now it looks like it's all-change again after the latest snaps coming in from Paris. Romeo was spotted in a car in the French capital, sporting a shaved head, wearing a black Champion sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms. He was pictured in the car with German model, Caroline Daur, 30, leaving a bash at the swanky, Hotel Costes. Romeo jumped into a taxi with the influencer - who was rocking a strapless minidress and who has 5m followers on Instagram - and other pals after enjoying an evening together, before hot-footing it to Julia nightclub, where they stayed until the early hours. The pair sparked romance rumours as they went to great lengths not be snapped together as they left the venue separately. However, they then headed off in the same car alongside others, reports the Mail. It is said that Romeo and Caroline bonded over their love of tennis, with both attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday. Romeo's representatives have been contacted for comment. Insiders say that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and his ex Kim, and insist that their split has nothing to do with the bitter Beckham feud, which is said to have been sparked by their relationship. Brooklyn is said to have felt Kim's reasons for dating his brother were 'disingenuous' amid rumours he used to date the DJ. However, in a now deleted Instagram post Cruz Beckham denied Brooklyn was ever in a relationship with Kim. Speaking to the Mail about Romeo's split with the DJ, who the model once referred to his as his "world", a source said: "Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. "They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. "David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
