G/G Cassandra Alexandra - Cassiopeia Electra
G/B Christina Callihroe - Christopher Marcos
B/B Paris Adamantios - Neoptolemos Marcos

G/G - complies with (c)
Adelaide Lucy Aviva "Addie" & Geneva Frances Liora "Genna"
- both cities, + Liora and Lucy both have meanings to do with Light

G/B - complies with (a) and (b)
Elodia Disney Sophia "Ella" & Sidney Colin Isaiah "Sid"
-Colin & Sophia are both family names, and I would never name G/B twins anything but Xanthe & August IRL or even on here, hance why it fist with (a)

---

B/B - complies with (a) & (c)
Griffin Isaiah & Phoenix Malachi
-fn theme is obvious, neither fn is one of my usual favourites, plus th mn's are both biblical (although they don't comply with (a0 at all, both are favourites ;)

I'm using all three twistes. From a to c :)

---

Ella Jasmine / Jemma Elizabeth (Ella and Elizabeth, Jasmine and Jemma ;))
Sixten Anton / Emelia Margareta - All names are after family.
Nathanael Jack / Theodore Mac - Nathanael and Theodore have the same meaning, Jack and Mac it rhymey

---

I'm going to use c.) Relate the names in some way (rhyming, similar sound, same meaning, characters in same book, etc.)

---

G/G: Ruby Elizabeth / Pearl Jemima (FN: Both gems / MN: Both Biblical names)
G/B: Beatrix Elizabeth "Trixie" / Asher Darcy (FN: Both names mean blessed / MN: Both names from Pride and Prejudice)
B/B: Charlton Jasper "Charlie" / Gene Casper (FN: Both are names of actors / MN: Both names rhyme)

G/B: Ava Laurel / Spencer Owen (a. I just picked some names from the US top 1000 that I like, but wouldn't use unless my SO really loved them.)
B/B: David Bertram / Lucas Ray (b. Bertram honors three relatives: Robert, Bertha, and Albert. Ray is a variant of Rae, a middle name shared by several people in my family.)
G/G: Mara Eloise / Rosalie Mae (c. Anagrams.)

BB: Tobias Oisin and Jake Gilbert - a.
GB: Naomi Grey and Julian Honor - b. All of my usual combos honour, so I decided to honour with both names and on the "wrong" sexes, which I wouldn't normally do. Honor is for my grandmother, Julian for my sister Gillian, Grey for my brother Graham, and Naomi has a strong link to my father but not to his name.
GG: Meryl Alicia and Lyric Amelia - c. anagrams, same rhythm.

Let's see... I used to play Diablo II years ago. The game has an interesting selection of NPC names, some of which I would find strange to use as names, others I really like(but would still not use myself):

---

G/G: Fara Jamella and Anya Natalya
B/B: Lysander Cain and Hadriel Drognan

---

For the third combo I chose names that I like a lot and start with the same letter:

---

G/B: Arja and Adrian

---

That's it folks! Take care.

Maxwell Eugene and Joan Elaine (Joan is the first person Maxwell kills in the song Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Eugene is for great-uncle Gene. Elaine is for my aunt.)
Edward Silas and Piers Richard (Edward is my father's middle name and Richard is my uncle's. Piers Gaveston is Edward's lover in Edward II by Marlowe.)

Ursula Mountain
Cristina Rocío
- Ursula and Cristina are both 3 syllable names ending in -a that work equally well in English and Spanish
- Rocío and Mountain are both nature names (Rocío means 'dew' in Spanish)
- Cristina is my mn, and my fn is my mother's mn, so it would carry on a family tradition
- Mountain is a family surname

Bidahochi Grey
Zayante Mountain

I have to give in finally since I'm dating an Italian. All names are Italian forms of names from my family. My theme: they're all from the Medici family tree. :-)
