They frequently poke fun at their shared identity across social media, often using nicknames like "Boy Tay" and "Girl Tay" or "Tay 1" and "Tay 2" to help friends, family, and fans differentiate between them.

The "Cancel" Joke: Tay Dome Lautner acknowledged this online pressure directly, laughingly stating that the internet's obsession with the idea makes choosing a different name feel like a high-stakes gamble with pop culture fans.
The Final Decision: Despite the global pressure, both parents remain grounded. They have emphasized that while "Taylor" is an active candidate, they are taking a traditional approach: holding a curated shortlist of names and selecting the winner once they see their newborn face-to-face.
