Of your twinsets I like Bridget and Leo the best.
Morgen and Cieran are mine.

From your list, I'd go with Rosalie & Jacob.
If I had twins, I'd name them Ariella Jasmine & Jude Hamilton (or Ariella Maria Faith & Jude Hamilton Luis, if I used an extra middle name to honor family).

I do like Rosalie, but not with Jacob. What do you think of Rosalie and James? I quite like it.
Thanks

Of yours I like Claire and Brett. I like Claire decently (though would prefer Clare, Clara, or Clarity) and Brett is one of my less thought of favorites. :-) I also like Brett very much as a female name.
My own picks for twin names would be Elizabeth Antonia and Lawrence Douglas. If I could mix and match your twin sets (and change the sex of one), and add middle names, I'd make the combos Brett Elizabeth and Leo Jeremiah. Like I said, I'm into Brett as a female name--kind of snappy, kind of sharp, kind of cool. I think Leo is sort of the same way, although more clearly defined as a male name. :-)

of yours I like Bianca, but Theo is too nicknamey. Theodore would be nice or Bianca and Jacob perhaps.
As for my twins, I would just name them my favorite names for a boy and girl at the time of their birth. I don't believe in trying to create names that 'go' together.
So my top picks would be:
Eleanor Scholastica & Linus John Paul ; Nora and Linus
Marguerite Renata & Isaac Ariel ; Marta/Maisie/Rita and Ike
Bianca Seraphine & Ezra Laurence ; Bianca and Ezra
Luciana Marion & Ezekiel Dov ; Lucy and Zeke
Celia Rosemarie & Victor Ignatius ; Celie/Celia/Cecile & Tori

Of yours -- Rosalie and Jacob are nice. Bianca and Theo are, too. I would also like Claire and Leo. Your picks are solid; I am really glad you wouldn't do rhymey cutesy names. I'm a twin, and I really, really hate when people do that.
Mine would probably just be whatever my top two names at the time are; I don't have them set for twins as opposed to singles. Really any combination from my Top 5 post (except Hugo and Margot because while I adore both names, I would never have siblings that close let alone twins).

Claire and Brett- These are nice.
Rosalie and Jacob- Jacob seems a little plain for Rosalie.
Bianca and Theo- Bianca and Theodore nn Theo might be better.
Bridget and Leo- Again, Leo is more of a nn imo.
Nadia and Jamie- Cute.
My favorites are Sebastian and Viola, from Shakespeare's Twelth Night. If I were to use something original, though, I like:
Anwen and Evan
Tilda and Fabian
Olivia and Dunstan
Rosalie and Jacob- Jacob seems a little plain for Rosalie.
Bianca and Theo- Bianca and Theodore nn Theo might be better.
Bridget and Leo- Again, Leo is more of a nn imo.

Fabian is a odd choice. Seems a little on the dark side.
Why the dark side?
I'm not trying to argue. I'm simply curious. :)
I originally started liking the name because of a comical character in Shakespeare (yes, it's an obsession :P). According to the database, it actually means "bean", it seems. My complete combo is actually Fabian Godfrey, and I've always gotten really interesting comments about it.

Oh, I know you werent trying to argue. You wre giving your honest opinion and I appreciate it!
Of yours, Bianca and Theo, but...
If I could mix and match, I'd say Claire and Jacob.
Mine today would be:
Benjamin Mark & Abigail Ruth (Ben & Abbey)
or
Nathanael Allen & Katherine Eleanor (Nat & Kit)

Of your choices I would pick Bridget and Leo. If I could pick and choose among your options I might go for Bridget and Theo instead. I think the selections you've listed are all pretty good, and I applaud you for not being someone who feels the need to give twins rhyming names or cutesy too-similar names. The only name you've listed that I don't think fits with the rest is Jamie, simply because it seems more nny than the others.
If I had twins today they'd end up being Jonas and Simone or Jonas and Felicity because those are the only names I know that DH and I both like. There'd be some scrambling to give them mns, I can tell ya that.
