Washington, Mar 23 : Actor Charlie Sheen has named his newborn twins Bob and Max.

When asked why he chose those names, Sheen said that they were "easy to remember".

"They''re very short and simple, easy to spell and remember. Bob is the same frontward and backward. I''m a fan of short and simple names," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

The 43-year-old actor and wife Brooke Mueller became proud parents of twin last week.

The twins are the fourth and fifth children for Sheen. He has a 24-year-old daughter, Cassandra, from a previous relationship, and shares little girls Sam, four, and Lola, three, with ex-wife Denise Richards. (ANI)
