Trying to name twins...
I've got a friend who is going to have twin girls. Almost anyone she meets, she's asking, "what's your favourite name in all the world?"
She is notoriously bad at making decisions.
Her boyfriend suggested they named one each, but that didn't work because she said "Sienna" and he said "Lucy" and neither of them liked the other's choice.
I think she likes more unusual names (at least she said 'not boring') but he definitely likes traditional ones.
Rhyming is no good, but alteration is okay (I asked)
So...

Nothing like swamping them with ideas ^_^

Alice and Celia

Bryony and Cecily - is this a rhyme?
Caroline and Eleanor
Eloise and Joy
Georgina and Topsy
Gillian and Juliet
Heather and Karen
Isobel and Marianne
Kitty and Polly
Laura and Tessa - is this a rhyme?
Nancy and Betsy
Rosamond and Victoria
Sienna and Lucy are the most spectacularly non-matching twin names ever! It'd be hilarious. Perhaps Susianna and Lucy might work? I'd totally use Lucy, but no doubt it's a lost cause.

Milusha and Mia = ditto
Libusha and Mia = tritto

Amber
Bryony
Caroline
Elena
