Twins(or other multiples) are linked in a way that most other siblings are never linked. They should have a more speacial name, imo, than just names that go well together..they should mean something or have some connection. It doesn't have to be obvious or cutesie, as long as the parents like it and it's not a thing that's going to drag the children down in later situations(such as older twins I know named Harold and Theodore, but called Harry and Terri).
I actually like connecting them, but not in a way that makes people cringe and think "poor children". Just a way that they know and most people would pick up on automatically or by middle name.

So twins are more special than other children?
I am a twin, and I know what it's like, so speaking from experience on this one, I am just saying that it is something that bothers me. Twins have a hard enough time being viewed as seperate individuals in the first place. Connecting names does not help that cause.
I didn't say that there was anything wrong in general with connecting them (like as a mn as I said earlier), but I dislike it when it is sickeningly obvious or forced on them as with themey fn's.
Also Jaime, I was referring to when parents do it on purpose with twins to be cute. Other sibsets or subtle connects are a different story. I specified this in my original post.
