[Opinions] Names that should be added to the twins suggestions list
Jubal and Jabal. They mean the same thing--"to conduct"--and refer to music, water, and ranching. Yes, ranching. Conducting animals from pasture to pasture. They also sound alike. But what I like best about these two names is the variety in their meaning that allows those who bear these names to pursue and excel at a number of different careers, from music to ranching to electrician.

Is Jabal not a form of Jubal?
Don't names twin two forms of the same name.
That is a crime and a tragedy in one.

I think that these names sound and look too similar for siblings.

- I'd like to think that a child can pursue any career he chooses regardless of what his name meant anyway! :)

Personally, I think the twin suggestion list should be abolished. I think twins should have individual names, of cource they should have a similar 'feel' and fashion to them, but I'm really not a fan matchy names on twins.
They are individual's in every way. It's hard enough for the general public to tell them apart wihtout getting confused with their names. If I were to have twins, I would want their uniqueness to be on show, including their names. But that's just my opinion, I know there are some people who like matchy names on twins - I guess that's their choice!
Jubal & Jabal are way too close, and i'm a fan of neither.

Also, I don't think the meaning of a name necessarily dictates what that person will do when they grow up. I know plenty of people who just don't fit the meanings of their names.

And a lot of meanings of people's names are completely irrelevent!
...says "Island of Lincoln."

As a twin, I extremely disapprove of any twins being named that.
Agree..
Way too similar.

They sound too close to each other. All siblings, especially multiples, should have their own names. If you could find two names that have similar meanings but sound completly different, it's fine though.
