There used to be a pair of sisters - not, I think, twins - on local radio where I live. Clearly Catholics, their names were Dolores and Felicitas. So that's what I'd use. Both names have decent nn potential, unlike other antonyms like, say, Dawn and Eve!Nothing really comes to mind for a boy pair, unless maybe Albus and Nigel. And Nigel could be a boy twin with a sister Jennifer, or any of the Welsh Gwen- names.

Adrasteia (not inclined to run away) and Calypso (she who conceals)... this might be a stretch, but they feel like opposites to me. One open and vulnerable, the other closed and protected.Charisma (grace, kindness) and Severina (stern)Berlind (bear; soft, tender) and Isolde (iron, ice; battle)... another stretch maybe, the one being warm and spring-like and the other being cold and harsh.Artemis (safe; a butcher) and Ophelia (help)... the one is solitary and the other is asking for helpNemesis (distribution of what is due, righteous anger) and Pacifica (peacemaker)Amaia (the end) and Perpetua (continuous)
