HelpRe: What do you think about twins with names that begin with the same letter?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
I don't think it's tacky. If it was Ellia and Elliot, it'd be tacky-ish. It bugs me if the names have too-literally matchy meanings like River and Laken, or even Dawn and Aurora. And it bugs me a little bit if the names have the same origin, like Sean and Joanna. But Ellia and Ephraim sound nice. I like twin names to relate to each other in small ways, just usually not in big obvious ways.

No normal person would even know Sean and Joanna were connected. only name-nerds! LOL

Yeah. Bummer.
My niece and nephew (brother and sister) are John and Joanna. I'll never say anything, but it makes me groan inside. They're both honoring people in separate lines, though, so at least they have a more important meaning.

Actually, my late brother and I had esentially the same name, Jean(me) and John.However, both are family names, and I doubt my parents realized they had the same root, nor, probably, cared!
And Jean is in fact my middle name, but it's what I'm always called.

I agree on all of this. Funnily enough though, the only pair of twins I've met who's names were completely different and not at all matchy, are my aunts - they're Katelyn and Kara. And I've met a lot of twins. Come to think of it, I'd always kind of thought it was common for twins to have matchy names, not even thinking of the twins I've met irl. I wonder how common it really is.
Anyway, twins run in my family and if I end up with twins, I'll likely give them kind of matching names too :)

My sister and I don't have matchy names (Caroline and Terése) and my best friend Per has a twin sister named Christina. I went to school with two twin sets: Jesper and Joel and Oscar and Gustav. None are matchy in my opinion. Actually, I don't think I've ever met a supermatchy twin set.

Ronald & Zackary (Ron & Zack)
Leanne & Hillary
Kevin & Ashley
April & Crystal
James & Joseph (Jamie & Joey) --> this ones a bit matchy

From my experience, not very.
Twins that I've known - off the top of my head:
Rebecca & Sarah
Kristin & Natalie
Kimberly & Meredith
Jay & Jeff - sorta of matchy, I suppose
In fact I know of only one matchy set and it's terrible - Ned & Ted. Full names.
