What would you name boy/girl twins using your parents names and reversing gender?
So mum becomes male & dad becomes female

Kieran and Caledonia
Neither one of my parents have names that have a form in the opposite gender, so this situation absolutely does not work for me.
Davina and Julian
Alexander and Jacqueline
There aren't any male variants of my mom's middle name or female variants of my dad's, but if I used similar meanings, it would be Alexander Lucius and Jacqueline Havilah.

Donovan Alexander and Paula Daniella both are similar to their actual names, names don't really go together but I don't dislike them

Lysander Johann (Lisa Jean) and Andrea Paulette (Paul Andrew)
Lucius (prefer Lucian, though) and Henrietta (could also choose a different variant if I wish).

Anton & Petra
Anton Camillus
and
Petra Georgina Leonora
Mom is Anna Camilla, but Anna is technically the middle name. Anton is actually her grandfather's name, so I thought it would be nice to use it even tough Anna and Anton aren't actually related. Fun fact: My mom has always said that she was almost named Petronella, but my grandmother says it was going to be Petra - which my dad now became instead.

Kendra and Lorcan
Keeping the first 3 letters the same...
Using the names they go by: Bryony and Dario
Using their other names: Kendra and Lorcan
Using their first names: Bryony and Lorenzo
Using their middle names Kenina and Darius
So, Kendra Bryony and Lorcan Dario, because I like Kendra more than Bryony, and Darius kind of runs into my surname.

For the girl: either Marceline, Celine or Marsaili. I think Marceline would be the best option, with Celine as her nickname.
For the boy: there aren't that many options. Chantal doesn't have any masculine forms. If we go with the "song" association, I guess Carol is an option, but I don't like that as much. If we go with the "stony" meaning, there's Peter. If we go with a similar sounding name, there's Chance and Chandler, and maybe even Cathal.
I like Cathal a lot, but I don't think it's very usable where I live, so the best option would be Peter, which goes okay with Celine as well (and I don't dislike Peter at all, so I'm not heartbroken).

Mom's name is Jane and her middle initial is R. Neither of my dad's names have a feminine form or anything close to it, so I just used his initials.

Our answers were pretty much alike. But I really wouldn't want to use those names either.
I love Donovon Ruel.
Thank you. :)
His mother was quite a woman. Her name was Dare Elizabeth and was very intelligent and creative - an artist. My dad, Donovon/Don, was an artist and a musician. Dare's mom, Faye, was a very intelligent, funny, kind of quirky woman. I remember her. She was my "Ga". Dare's dad, Ruel Norman, was a physician. I don't know a lot about him. He died either before or soon after I was born.
My mom gave my brother the middle name of Ruel to carry on the tradition, but Eric, my brother, has not had any children. Had I known, I probably would have given one of my boys Ruel as a middle name.
