Similar, not silly/stupid but we had identical twins in my daughter's U12 cricket team last year that had very similar first names that both started with the same initial, both their names had lots of vowels in them (they were Kazakh) and sounded very similar.
By default Play Cricket helpfully showed them both as "D <surname>" so when they batted together you couldn't get who was on strike correct, or select the right one when they bowled. Even if you selected the right option (before the game started) to show the full name I had no chance working out which was which when they were wearing helmet/pads/gloves/etc. I think I finally picked up on one difference in their stance and trigger movement that I could spot from 35 yards away, but only in the last game of the season.
The other pair of twins we have aren't so identical, and one is our usual wicket keeper so they trouble me as a scorer much less.
