I do not care for Jesse, June is nice.
I'd consider:
William and Elaina
William and Anna
Silas and Evelyn

I love Jesse. I like June too, but not as much. I think another name for a girl would sound better. Personally, I like it when twins names begin with different letters. Jesse and Chrisanne would be pretty. When twins names begin with the same letter, it just seems to me that the quality of one name is being sacrificed to enhance the other. When twins names begin with different letters, I think they each stand out more as special choices.

Jesse and June for ab/g set is really sweet. Both delightfully old fashioned and sweet in a sort of pioneer way. Some might think it's too cutesy with them sharing the letter, but I really enjoy them together.

I agree with Circus Lullaby and I dislike both Jesse and June, especially together.

I would probably avoid giving twins names beginning with the same initial.

My name is Jesse, it's decent. I adore June.

I wouldn't name twins with names that begin with the same sound. I think it's tacky. But on their own, they're each nice names.

IMHO, Jesse and June do not work well together at all. The matching initial does not do the set any favours. Sorry. I like both on their own (mostly June) but not together. And they wouldn't like it either.

I don't love the idea of these together either... sorry! I know some people who may have done this:

Jesse Elgin
Elizabeth June

This way the names only will match when you see them in their entirety.

As a twin myself...

I cringed. It stops being cute when the 500th person in their elementary school points out that their names match. As if no one else realized that before then. Luckily my sister and I did not deal with that too much due to my name starting with a K (Kimberly) and hers with a C (Christine) but we got our share of "Hey both of your names start with a "kuh" sound!" No kidding, seventeen years and haven't realized it yet. Anyway they're going to be grouped together by nearly everyone as it is, don't give people more of a reason to do so.

As names go, Jesse and June are both really nice names. Just not for twins.

Nice names, I don't generally care for matching initials, but as long as you don't have like 6 kids all starting with J, I don't think it's bad.

I think they are very nice! Got any ideas for the middle names?

I like June.

I think both names are very nice on their own, but not for twins. Twins are two individual people who won't be sharing a womb forever, and they should be treated as such, even in the names. My litmus test for twin names is if you would use them separately for an individual boy and girl then fine; however, if you would only use June and Jesse in the case of boy/girl twins then it bothers me because you are picking names for theme reasons which isn't my personal style.

That said, June is charming and sweet and Jesse is strong and handsome, but I don't like the matching initial for twins.
