A week after the birth of his twin boys, Charlie Sheen says he can't tell his sons apart. "I can't tell! They're not identical, but at this stage they're similar enough," he tells Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines in an interview.

Calling his twins Bob and Max, the "Two and a Half Men" actor believes those names are simple and easy to remember. "They're very short and simple, easy to spell and remember," he admits. "Bob is the same frontward and backward. I'm a fan of a short and simple name. Max was literally Nick until about a minute before he came out."

The fraternal twin boys, who were born on Saturday, March 14, are the first children for Charlie Sheen and his actress wife Brooke Mueller. The pair who got hitched in a Beverly Hills estate on May 30, 2008 is so excited to have their first kids. "It's pretty amazing. Not a whole lot of sleep, but what parent does at this stage? There's adrenaline, excitement, fear," Charlie states.

Beside the twins, the 43-year-old star also has three daughters from his previous relationships, Sam and Lola from his ex-wife Denise Richards and Cassandra from ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt.
