Grammar problem

I know this isn’t the forum for trouble with grammar, but I can’t find any info online about which is right — I’m making an invitation for my twins’ birthday party, and I’m not sure if it would be [NAME] & [NAME]’s birthday; or [NAME]’s & [NAME]’s birthday. Again, I realise this forum isn’t for these kinds of problems, but I’m getting desperate…

Lately when i have having been issues finding things on google i have posed the question I am trying to find to chatGPT (no really),  the amount of times it actually works is surprisingly high.

If they're twins, then the best option would have been to give them identical names and then it would simply be [NAME]s' birthday.

No need for all this unnecessary difficulty.

 

 

In a pub a few weeks back, a chap came in and didn't recognise the girl behind the bar, actually the landlord's niece.

"Who was that behind the bar?"

Sarah, Willie's daughter.

"Oh, how old is she now?"

Twenty.

"Oh, how many kids has he?"

Two, twins, a boy and a girl.

"Oh, how old is the lad?"

 

Everybody just looked at him for the fifteen seconds it took for him to realise why.
