grammatical number - "Our name is" or "Our names are"?

Two women, both named Sarah, want to introduce themselves. What do they say? "Our name is Sarah"? This seems to make no sense. "Our names are Sarah"? This also can't be right. What is the correct way?



I believe the correct way would be, "Our names are Sarah and Sarah."



Any thoughts on this?
