I very much agree with you. It's as if because twins are so special, the parents make an extra effort to accommodate for that through the names they choose. Let's see, I've known a few twins: Donald and Ronald, Lenny and Lexie (as far as I knew, these were their full names), Bernadette and Bernadine, Daniel and David, Lucas and Lauren, Brandon and Jeremy, Elisha and Brittany. I'm sure there have been more that I just can't recall this early in the morning, however, the point I'm trying to make is that most of the twins were given matching or rhyming names.

Personally, I'd only give twins names that I loved, period. Now if I happened to like names beginning with the same letter, I'd probably use them. I'll admit it would give me pause to do that yet I'd probably go with what I loved.

BTW, there were twin girls in our local NICU named Vickie and Victoria! :-(
