If you really want to use twin sets, it'll be a lot cleverer to pick names that are less obviously twinny. Kaleigh and Landeigh, beyond just being trendy and misspelled, are obvious to the point of being tacky. Combos like Luna and Estelle, Dylan and Maris, or Alyssa and Veronica are twinny without being terribly tacky.

However, it's nicest just to go with two names you like, IMO.

"Phineas. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah. It's Latin for 'kick me'."

I think that using same initial names that are clearly distinct from eachother is okay for twins. However, I can't stand rhyming names and I don't think twins appreciate it either b/c everbody needs some indivuality. Names can be distinct from eachother but also sound harmonious. For example, you wouldn't want to name your twin daughters Margaret and Sierra b/c they don't go together at all. However, twins named Margaret and Elizabeth may sound better or twins named Sierra and Skye.
Another thing that I don't think you should do when naming twins is giving one twin unisex name and another one a distinctly feminine or male name. For example, naming twin girls Isabella and Riley.
Whew, these are just some of my opinions on naming twins.

They're misspelt.

And really tacky. Different, but nice would be Ivy and Emilia, or Iris and Tatiana.

Kaleigh and Landeigh are way too cutsey cutsey for siblings even if they are twins
The majority of twins I have known hated the idea having similar names

Kaleigh and Landeigh are way too similar. I really hate twin 'sets'. Just go with two pretty names that compliment each other and the poor kids don't get slagged for life!
