I love all the names separately, except for Bethany, but Freya & Fleur for twins is way too "cutesy" imo. I'd prefer Freya Bethan & Adelaide Fleur.

Freya and Fleur sound too alike. When you're a twin, people naturally assume that you love to dress alike and like the same things. But twins, just like everybody else, want to be unique. Giving them similar names just makes it more frustrating for them. Try two names that are completely different, like Freya and Jane or Molly and Fleur. Or maybe, if you are really attached to those names, you could have them as middle names. Bethany Freya and Adelaide Fleur. Their first names will be unique, they won't meet a hundred other girls with the same middle name (f.e., Louise, Lynn), and the three-syllables/one-syllable sounds better.

Very nice! However, I don't like matchy names for twins, so the fact they both start with F, is kind of a turn off to me, sorry.

I'm sorry to say I only like Freya. I really dislike the name Fleur. Bethany is just very oncommon where I live and so is Adelaide, so maybe that's why I don't like them. I do love Freya a whole lot, it's on my fav list :)

I personally wouldn't use them. But I think they sound very good together. I like it.

I love Fleur Adelaide. Freya Bethany is OK (I really like the name Freya, but I'm not that keen on Bethany. Nevertheless, they sound OK together). The thing I'm not so sure about is the twin combo itself, because the names don't really fit together, IMO. They don't sound like sisters to me.
