Well I'm definitely not a fan of same sounding names for twins. Each twin is it's own person and has it's own identity, so should be treated as two different beings, not one. Therefore different sounding names are paramount imo.

Brendan is a good name with staying power. Brenna and Brandon are on the flimsy side of modern. Anyway, think of your own convenience: if you shout for Brenna, she can easily mishear it and assume you want Brendan, and of course vice versa. If you like alliteration, what about Brendan and Bridget? Same naming tradition, and different enough.

I know it's not exactly the same, but that's what popped into my head.

Aside from the names sounding too similar, I think they are...well, boring. Vanilla. Even for singletons, they don't anything for me.

I know siblings names Brenna and Brandon and I never thought their names were too similar. They have about 5 years age difference, though. It may be different for twins when they will always be associated and called together.

No.

My thoughts, since you asked: these names are ridiculous together. If you simply had two singletons, would you give them such matching names? Or is it only twins unfortuante enough to be named Brandon and Brendon?

Twins are two separate people, not cartoon characters.

I like these names and it just so happens that I used to imagine myself with twins named Brandon (m) and Breanna (f), so that's very close. Their nicknames would have been Brannie and Bree. I really liked the idea for a while but I've gotten over it somewhat. My fave MNs for these names would be Brenna Autumn Rose and Brandon Thomas. =)

I'm not very fond of the names, and they're too similar. For middle names:

---

Brenna Adele
Brenna Roxanne

---

Brandon Chase
Brandon Pascal
Brandon Cole

---

(same suggestion for Brendan-- the names are so similar)

Twins are two separate people

and deserve two separate names. These are much too similar, imo.
