Twin names

So there are a lot of twins in my school (myself included) and it got me thinking about what you would consider a good twin name set? [name_m]How[/name_m] matchy is too matchy, would you use a theme, stuff like that.

Like, theres a set of identical twins named [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] (Eh-lane-uh) and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] ([name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-ah-nuh) and thats too matchy for me. But [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] and [name_f]Carly[/name_f] are fine because they have different vowels and ending sounds.

What are your opinions?

I would use a theme, like [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] and [name_u]Prairie[/name_u]. I don’t like it when twin names rhyme because it’s confusing and repetitive. Too matchy for me would be like the example you provided. They’re too similar to each other in sound and look.

For me, I like different names that have a similar style. I don’t mind the same letter but they would need to be distinct. Like [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and [name_u]Carson[/name_u], very different C names to me.

With my fiances opinion-
[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] & [name_f]Vada[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] & [name_m]Talon[/name_m]
[name_m]Talon[/name_m] & [name_m]Luke[/name_m]

I love twin names that aren’t matchy at all, but sound great together. For example, I’ve always loved [name_f]Charity[/name_f] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] for twin girls. Basically, I just love names that sound good as sibsets. I’ve heard and read a few places that having too matchy of names can mess with some twins’ psychological states. So, that’s sold me on names that just sound good as sibsets. Matchy matchy names sound too childish anyway, I’ve always thought.

I have relatives on my family tree who were twins with a singleton brother. The twins (gb) were Vɛrᴀ Lɛnorɛ and Vɛrnon Lɛroy. Way to matchy-matchy in my opinion. I couldn’t do it. The identical initials and similar sounding names would have driven me batty.

I like names that are similar in style but sound distinct.

Some sibsets that I think work great for twins on my list are:

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] & [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] & [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] & [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m] & [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m] & [name_u]Noah[/name_u]

[name_m]Callum[/name_m] & [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u] & [name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
