Jerry O'Connell's brother Charlie tells Usmagazine.com "it's a real honor" that the actor and wife Rebecca Romijn named one of their newborn twin girls after him.

"The spelling is the same way that they spell my name, so if I get into trouble with credit one day, I can always use hers," the former Bachelor star joked in a telephone interview Monday.

Find out the meanings behind other famous celeb baby names.

It was Jerry's idea to name one of the girls Charlie, which is "the greatest name ever," he joked. "Rebecca came up with Dolly.

The girls -- who were born Dec. 28 -- are "real cute," he told Us. "Charlie looks more like Jerry, and I think Dolly looks more like Rebecca."

The new parents, Charlie added, "are doing really good. I think they're not really getting that much sleep, which is to be expected. At any given time, one of them are up."

So will Charlie and girlfriend Sarah Brice be giving Dolly and Charlie cousins anytime soon?

"As far as I know, no," he said, laughing. "That's not really my
intention. I'm not really like, 'Oh, lets make cousins!'"

Look back at famous Bachelor romances!

    Wonder if they know that Dolly Parton's full name is Dolly Rebecca? I personally like both the names they picked out, way better than some of the crazier names some stars have come up with lately!

    No I don't care for the names They are not cool sounding and Dolly O'connel sounds cartooney plus farmers always named their horses Dolly and Charlie O'connell sounds kind of butch (tough)for a girl, Plus it's been done many times before. One things for sure they we be beautiful with a gorgeous mom like Rebecca and dad like Jerry.
