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!
