Almost a hijack here, but not quite ...  :D

I've got in mind two characters that are brothers, both with the last name of "Jinkins".

One has always been called "Jink" while the other has always be called "Kinsey".

Jink is the older of the two, unless I think its more advantageous to make them twins.

Works, or cheesy?

Or you can have them, but have them as background characters.  Then you could play with it. 

"I've been to see Patrick."
"Patrick Flannigan?"
"Patrick Murphy."
"The one with the mole?"
"Nah, the other one."
"The one that runs the bakery?"
"No, the other ... Look, it's not important. What's important is what I found out."

Beautiful. :)

I would say that it's fine, although why not use their first names?

"I've been to see Patrick."
"Patrick Flannigan?"
"Patrick Murphy."
"The one with the mole?"
"Nah, the other one."
"The one that runs the bakery?"
"No, the other ... Look, it's not important. What's important is what I found out."

This is just too confusing for me. I like my character names simple. :)
I swear to you, by my own stunning good looks and towering ego, that I'm not lying to you.
