I like the idea of a "hidden theme" in a twinset, with names that have similar meanings but look totally different, such as Malka and Regina or Shulamit and Irene. But anything obviously matchy, or similar sounding names is silly IMO, especially considering it's generally said that twins should be as individual as possible. Giving names like Emma and Ella or Bryan and Ryan seems to imply they aren't really different people.
It's also a practice that seems not to really exist outside of English-speaking countries: all twinsets I've met are pretty random: Giovanna and Teresa, Valentina and Margherita, Francesca and Isabella.
