[Opinions] Re: Matchy Twin Names and Types of Matchiness.

A long-forgotten celeb named her twins Amy and May. Which is pretty easy to understand. But there's also Marina and Marian, or Alice and Celia, where the anagram is more subtle.
Meanings also work somewhat. Deborah and Melissa; Anne and Grace; Helen and Lucy. And antonyms: Dawn and Eve; Ebony and Ivory; Lily and Susan.
Your Julian and Julia example reminded me that I've always liked the idea of using Gillian and Juliet as mns for twins. I wouldn't make them fns because of probable nn issues, but it'd be a good link.
Once I read about conjoined twin girls who were named Mary Ellen and Marie Helen. They didn't survive, poor little things, so I suppose it hardly mattered, but I'd have been more comfortable with Mary Ellen and Helen Marie, I think.
I'm battling with boys! All I can think of is Peter and Simon.
Interesting thread: thank you!
