What would you name twins with matching/reversed initials?

General Name Discussion

I was thinking today about how many of my combos have the same or reversed initials, which got me thinking: what would I name twins if their initials had to be the same or a reverse of one another.

You can pick the genders! Here’s an example of what I would do:

The same initials:
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] & [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f]

Swapped initials:
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] & [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elsinore[/name_f]

Have fun!

I wouldn’t intentionally match or reverse the initials, but I have come up with name combos in sibsets where this has happened. If the names are important enough for me to use, and we love them enough, then it may happen.
