I have only heard it called by the politically incorrect and derisive label of "Irish Twins". I heard this from an Italian-American from New York. I understand it to be a derogatory reference to perceived large family sizes among Irish-Americans. I believe there is long standing history of both animosity and intermarriage between Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans in the Northeast, so go figure. With any luck someone with a medical background will be able to give us the proper answer.
