Saw two miniature Draco Malfoys today.

No, really. A pair of boys, dressed alike, who looked honest-to-God like Draco must've looked at age five, if he'd happened to wear nice quality Muggle clothing.
And then I saw the third one. Triplets. All dressed alike.
Sunday, I went out with Deniz, Ana, and Su while the respective other adults were busy. (There's another story about that coming, but wait until my thoughts make sense, 'k?) And the whole day was a mess of me yelling one, two, or even three wrong names (Evangeline wasn't even there, but I kept calling her name!) before I hit upon the correct one for the child I was intending to correct.
These kids don't look alike, and they sure weren't dressed alike. And I couldn't get their names right for the life of me.
So here's my question - why do people dress their multiples, especially those identical or very similar in appearance, alike? I'm not judging or criticizing, exactly, they clearly have their reasons - but whatever those reasons are, I simply can't fathom. And I want to know, I really do. All I know is that I don't have the brain power to do it, I'd go absolutely batty and the children in question would grow up insecure and altogether a bit confused about their own names.
So I just don't get it.
Thoughts? Answers? Help?
(I also met another young Topher today. This is me, being startled.)
