[Opinions] From Games...
in reply to a message by Chrysanthemum
To me, Twin/Sibling names absolutely have to be related, in some way (without being obscenely matchy or simply beginning with the same letter)
B/B:
Hunter Wyatt / Fletcher Wayne
Henry Landon / William Holden (or Charles Nolan)
Dexter Jek / Jasper Wicket
Sidney Clover / Vernon Sage
Ninian / Naoise
Sirius / Alshir
Spyridon / Hugo
Ignatius / Blaise
Winston / Neville
Daphnis / Endymion
B/G:
Oliver James / Phoebe Elizabeth
Avery Joss / Ainsley Jess
Hermione Constance / Isidore Francis
Apollo / Cynthia (or Diana)
Regulus / Adhara
Tempest / Zephyr (my niece/nephew)
Daphnis / Chloe
Selene / Endymion
G/G:
Pascale Leona / Linnea Eleanor
Ramona Maya / Paloma Mia
Blair Arden / Briar Ashton
Isla Primrose / Iona Rose
Dahab Martine / Zahra' Brigitte
Iseult Mathilda / Guinevere Swanhilda
Ethel Honeyblossom / Mildred TigerLily (or Agnes Bluebell)
Saulė / Aušrine
Sylphide / Undine
A lot of these were created during a CAF or Congrats name. I'm not sure if I would use any of them IRL, but I liked them well enough. Any names that sounds ridiculous are GP's.

Thank you so much! I've been editing like whoa for a while now- bored/still not sleepy- so I'm glad someone liked them. :D
LOL. The Hunter/Fletcher combo was from a namebank, I think. I don't think I like either of those names, but from what I had to work with... they sounded pretty good together (a Fletcher is an arrow-maker, which works with Hunter [besides them ending in -er]). :P
Dexter Jek / Jasper Wicket are among my favorites as well. They're from that Star Wars CAF... maybe you saw it?

Hunter/Fletcher
Yah, I'm very familiar with Fletcher. Hunter goes along fine, but my long-time traditional twin for Fletcher has been Archer. Fletcher and Archer Bowman, as a matter of fact. ;D
I was also very attracted to matching Wyatt and Wayne, which are both such wonderfully rugged, dusty, spur-wearin cowboy names.
I love and admire layering in twinsets. That was why I thought that set in particular was the hands-down best.
I didn't see the Star Wars CAF. I just loved the sound of Dexter Jek. But now I'm goin to look!...

There has to be a person out there, somewhere, named Archer Bowman. I just know it.
I agree. Twins names have to match on several levels for me, as opposed to just giving them rhyming names (ugh) or the same first letter.
So...
Even if Iona and Isla appear to just be "I" names, they aren't. I actually chose them because they are Scottish islands (the fact that they are both four letters in length and begin with "I" is just... lucky [or not]).

Not lucky, well done :-)
