twin names can be any two names you like. It used to be more common practice to give twins the same initial to signify that they were indeed twins, but thankfully people seem to be showing more variety in that department these days. I once did a poll on this several months ago on the twin naming preference style of people on the site and I remember the vast majority said they prefer them to be of a similar style/category and/or sound cohesive together but prefer a different initial and/ or syllable count. (So like Caroline & Alice, over Caroline & Catherine or Caroline & Nova, etc.) I tend to favor this system as well but I do admit I like a few "match-y" twin ideas here and there. More similar to pet ideas than people ones though. I also humor same initials as well occasionally. My ultimate guilty pleasure female twin combo is Lilac and Lavender. So flowery and purple and cutesy... but I like it, okay? Would I ever come within spitting distance of using it on actual twin daughters? Absolutely not. Maybe sister pets though, for sure. My current favorite G/G twin set idea has long been Winifred and Beatrice. I feel they balance each other out quit well and are distinct enough to have their own solid, firm identities while also being evenly matched in style and vibe. This I would definitely use if I felt so included at the time.
