Wow. I admire your style -- and effort!The only ones I'd put my foot down against would be the ones where each twin gets a variant of the same name, like Elizabeth / Isabel, Margot / Megan, Marian / Marina, Yannick / Johan / Johanna, Vivian / Bibiana, Adele / Heidi / Alice, Wilma / Willa / Minnie, Eleanor / Lenore, Charlotte / Karolina, Elen / Ilona. That's just too much for me. They each deserve their own name. The meanings are a nice, subtle way to tie the two together. But to give them the same name warmed over is not fair.Another name that means noble is Patrick / Patricia. So you could have an Adele and Patricia, or Heidi and Patrice, etc. Another name meaning miracle is Mirabel / Mirabella.Other names meaning lady are Morwenna and Myfanwy, and possibly Leda.Another name that means light / bright is Niamh.Some of the anagrams look forced to me. I ask myself if the parents would ever have named the child one of those names if it hadn't been part of a theme. If I get the feeling that they wouldn't have, then I can't really like the name for the child. They didn't ask to be part of a matching set. But some can work well enough. I like Noel and Leon.

Noel and LeonAt Christmas my g'ma put out this set of angels that spelled out "Noel" each holding one letter. My mother used to chane it to "Leon" and now that she has inherited them displays them as "Leon"...
