I've known twins named:G/G twins:
Sandra and Erica
Camille and Tanya (or it may have been Tania)
Brooke and Amy
Bonnie and Jessica
Vanessa and Melissa B/G twins:
John and ChristineB/B twins:
Daniel and Steven
Richard and Daniel
Morgan and Nolan
Robert and Donah (I'm guessing on the spelling of Donah. It was pronounced like Jonah with a "D.")
Alexander and NicholasAnd I remember seeing twins named Jenilyn and Jerilyn in one of my yearbooks. I didn't actually know them, but I remember thinking that their names were way too close. It didn't help that they looked so much alike and were dressed the same in the photos.That's all I can think of right now.

Sarah and Elizabeth
Sophie and Lucy
Ellen and Tracy - identical twins but their names don't go together at all in my opinion.
Sarah and Katie
Catherine and JonathanThese are all aged late 20s - early 30s. Someone in my office had twins a couple of years ago, all I remember is one of the girls was called Lyra. The other had a more popular name.

I went to school with twins Giovanna and Teresa. At university I was friends with a girl, Valentina, whose identical twin was Margherita "Tita". One of my relatives has 3-yo twins Francesca and Isabella.I also know triplets g/g/b Micol, Carol and Derek.I've never heard in RL of matchy twins. The matchiest twinset I've heard of is Pietro and Paolo (and they must be quite old by now. Oh, and in kindergarten there were twins Esther and Elizabeth. I guess that's a bit matchy too.

Identical:
Ian and Zachary
Dana and Maya (pronounced DANN-a and MY-a)
Michael and DavidFraternal:
my mom and uncle at birth: Mary Bernadette and James Joseph
my mom and uncle upon adoption: Jeanne [Bernadette] and Joseph [?] (Brackets indicate confirmation names. The birth and adoptive names look similar but they are truly by accident. Joseph happened to be my grandfather's name. my mom choosing Bernadette was a total coincidence, or maybe she inheritated the name taste of her birth mother... uncanny.)
Alexandra and Jessica (Lex and Jess)
Miles Orion and Mariah Rose (they have tatoos that portray their middle names. I just met Mariah recently, who talked about her brother.)

Eric and DavidOn a side-note: Kelly and Jamie, Michael and Melanie, David and Jenny, and Brian and Michael all lived in my neighborhood. Even crazier... Michael and Melanie, David and Jenny, and Brian and Michael all lived on the same side of the same street AND they were all born within a year of each other. They were all born years before the neighborhood existed, so it wasn't anything in the water.

G/G:Janna Alyssa and Laura Brianna [I have a feeling their middle names were the names they were given at birth, since they were adopted]Laura and LindaHailey Lennis and Jillian MarieChristina "Tina" and Alexandra "Anna" [Anna is prn Ah-na]
B / B:Kristofer and Matthew
B / G:Kaitlyn Elizabeth and JonathanBenjamin "Ben" and Sarah
I also know a set of triplets: Bradley "Brad", Robert "Bobby", and Kristen
All the sets are around my age, except Ben and Sarah, who are the children of a teacher at my school. So no, not a lot of matchy stuff here. Laura and Linda is probably the closest.

I knew twins named Jennifer and Jessica when I was a child. They were fraternal though. I'll bet there have been numerous sets with these names.I went to school with identical twins named Natalia and Zenobia. I always thought these names were nice.
