Violet and August
do they work for a girl/boy twins? Does the same ending bother you?

I love Violet, but not August.

They are lovely... I don't think you should worry about the double t endings.

I think they're fine for twins, if a bit word-namey. I'm so glad you're using August on a boy!

I LOVE both, and I think they'd be fine for twins, though a little word-namey for my tastes. They both end in -t but that's doesn't qualify as a 'similar ending' in my book, so no it doesn't bother me. :)

I didn't notice the same ending, acutally. To me it's "-et" and "-ust" not just "-t." They make an adorable twinset.

The most definitely work for boy/girl twins. They are a stunning set, that's for sure!

It doesn't bother me at all - I don't love themey twinsets, but if they names are similar it makes no difference to me. If I had twins, I would just use two names that I loved - damned if they sounded a little bit 'twinny' to someone! :-) I think they are both lovely names, and they sound really nice together (actually, on that note, I sat next to a little girl on the bus this morning whose name (it was written on her drink bottle!) was Augusta - Violet and Augusta would make very pretty sister names, IMO.)

Sure they do--why wouldn't they? And no, the fact that both end in T doesn't phase me. My sister and I both have names ending in EE sounds, and somehow we've survived. Array

I don't think both of them ending in -t matters at all. Both my name and my sister's end in -n (Erin and Brendan), but I never really put any thought into it. I love Violet, and I like August, and believe they'd make a nice sibset.

I think it's nice, and I don't see them ending the same? do you mean the T's? That doesn't bother me.

do they work for a girl/boy twins? well, I prefer August for a boy so I think they work fine. Also, even though one is a flower and one is a month, I don't see the names as too themey. May and August would be a different story :PDoes the same ending bother you? Not at all.
