[Opinions] Interesting Conjoined Twin Names

I was recently reading a very old Medical Book and they listed some names of conjoined twins. What do you think of them?

Radica & Doddica
Mary & Eliza
Marie & Adele
Helen & Judith
Millie & Christine
Rosalie "Rosa" & Josepha
Louis & Louise (both female)
Marie & Louise
Hortense & Honorine
Mary & Catherine
Minna & Minnie
Ritta & Christina
Giovanni-Batista & Giacomo
Marie & Rosa
Martha & Mary

and of course the mentioned the famous Eng & Chang (m). I found it interesting that besides Eng and Chang there was only one set of males. It was also interesting to note that back then they often weren't names as individuals, they were referred with a dash in the names (example Hortense-Honorine) as if they were one person.

I like Mary & ELiza, Marie & Adele, Helen & Judith, Rosalie & Jospeha, Mary & Catherine, Marie & Rosa as twins.

I also love/like Martha, Minna, Minnie, Millie, Honorine.

There were conjoined twins born here last year called Hassan and Hussein - I thought it was pretty bad. There were separated successfully.

There was another famous set of conjoined twins here several years ago - Katie and Eilish, which is quite nice.

Love Rosalie "Rosa" & Josepha and Millie & Christine.

Radica & Doddica is just awful and sad.

Louis & Louise and Minna & Minnie are not great either.

I mean parents should at least attempt to give their children some individual identity if they are conjoined.
