Twins bear state’s name together

I just found this story at TulsaWorld, originating from way back last century. Adorably, a pair of twins were named Ok and Lahoma. How’s that for local patriotism?

After three days of calling Lahoma’s twin “Little Guy” Albert Williams finally decided on a name. They already had Lahoma, why not complete it with Ok?

That is the story of Lahoma and her twin brother Ok as told by Woodward resident Lahoma Williams Grunewald.

Grunewald said that she and her brother Ok, who passed away at the age of 91, were inseparable. Their mother joked that she thought they would still be holding hands by the time the went to high school.

This is a fairly innovative way of naming twins, so how about these suggestions – Gladesh, Tralia, Esota… Uzbeki?
