How to index twins that don't have names?

The birth records list them as twins, but they're only labeled as "first" and "second," and the name fields are blank. How do I index these without them showing up as duplicates?

    You are indexing, not tree building, so don't worry about how they show up.

    For tree builders: Were they stillborn? If not, building out their individual profiles will quench the duplicate hints. Otherwise, let them show up as duplicates; dismiss the hints; and add a Note to each profile, explaining that they are twins.
