I very much agree with you. It's as if because twins are so special, the parents make an extra effort to accommodate for that through the names they choose. Let's see, I've known a few twins:
Donald and
Ronald,
Lenny and
Lexie (as far as I knew, these were their full names),
Bernadette and
Bernadine,
Daniel and
David,
Lucas and
Lauren,
Brandon and
Jeremy,
Elisha and
Brittany. I'm sure there have been more that I just can't recall this early in the morning, however, the point I'm trying to make is that most of the twins were given matching or rhyming names.
Personally, I'd only give twins names that I loved, period. Now if I happened to like names beginning with the same letter, I'd probably use them. I'll admit it would give me pause to do that yet I'd probably go with what I loved.
BTW, there were twin girls in our local
NICU named
Vickie and
Victoria! :-(
