These lads have five first names each. I'm totally jealous.

While in Dublin, we visited the Dublin Wax Museum. I took a lot of photos including this awful one but I wanted to write about this duo so you’re stuck with the photo.
I’d never heard of this pair but no doubt @FourWinds has and probably many others. It’s hard to know.
Born in 1991 in Dublin, they are identical twins, and perform as Jedward. But get this – one is named John Paul Henry Daniel Richard Grimes and Edward Peter Anthony Kevin Patrick Grimes. They have twice represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest, firstly in 2011 and again in 2012. They are also known for their work in television and for their philanthropic work.
While I can’t say I like the hairdos much, they do seem like generous people.

Wow a lengthy name. As it feels strange to have that name, I wouldn't want to have a long name. I'm curious as to how he was able to memorize their names while they were still little. I actually have two names, and it took me some practice before I could write them all clearly. I envied my classmates who had names that were simpler..

I'd never heard of such names before, possibly because I don't read the news much.

Neat pic. I haven't been to a wax museum for so long. I would love to go to one again. I know there is a newish one in DC, I should make it a point to go there.
