Not if they have different mn.
as long and these frternal twins have very differnt middle names, i wouldn't think it was tacky.

Too similar. Don't like it.

Yes!

I think so
Even though the pronounciation is different, they look too similar, and they are essentially the same name. I think it's too corny.
Personally, I'm annoyed by the idea of giving twins coordinated names. I don't think you should name twins anything you wouldn't name non-twin siblings.
Griddle cakes, pancakes, hotcakes, flapjacks; why are there four names for grilled batter, and only one word for love?

Well I once knew a girl who had a boy called Michael and a girl called Michelle, she was expecting twins but moved away before they were born so I never got to know if she called the twins Mitchell and Michaela like she had been threatening to
( I may have got Michaela and Michelle switched around as it was over twenty years ago )
I think Michael and Michelle are both great names but not for siblings especially not for twins who have to share so much as it is

I don't think it's all that bad really (m)...
Even though Michelle is the feminine form of Michael, I really don't see it as all that hideous. They have completely different sounds to them and the spelling don't look all that same-y (if that makes sense.) There are far worse combos. I would be all and totally agains a Michael and Michaela sib set, but I think Michael and Michelle is just fine.

My aunt and uncle are Michelle and Michael...(m)
They're just siblings, though, not fraternal twins. Neither had problems with this growing up--or ever, really. While it's exceedingly unimaginative (surely you can think of other names you like?), I don't think it's the most horrible thing to do to a child.
I'd rather be Michelle, sister to Michael (even twin sister to Michael) than Urhines.

Oh, dear, don't! Overdone is putting it lightly - it's so tacky and cutesy. Michelle is the feminine form of Michael, so you're naming the children the same name. It takes away from their identity.
On their own, without being used as any form of sibling names, Michael and Michelle are nice names.

Yes! They're the SAME NAME!
Sorry for being so blunt, but it really aggravates me to see twins given corny/"cute"/unimaginitive names.
Michelle is simply a French feminine form of Michael. Therefore, you're essentially naming both kids Michael and Michael. Which kind of reminds me of Michael Jackson's Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II (known as Blanket for differentiation, apparently), in addition to its usual, imo, absurd twinnyness.
EDITed so I sound like less of a bitch. Heh.
