I'd name twins the exact same names that I'd name two singletons. I'd name two daughters Xanthe and Opal, and I'd name twin girls Xanthe and Opal. It wouldn't change just because thye happened to be twins- in fact, I'm much more likely to use similar-sounding names on siblings that on twins- siblings usually arn't going to be spending the rest of their lives being constantly mistaken for the other sibling.

They are their own people with their own ideas and should be named as such. Oh- and I don't mind same-letter twinsets, such as Emily and Elizabeth, if the names are different enough, and they are both names the parents love. WHen they choose a name because it HAS to match, rather than just one they love- well, I'm not a fan of that.
