[Opinions] The point...
isn't that they'd be destine for an incestuous relationship or anything like that. The point is that the siblings would have the names of two classic lovers, and the association would very probably bring to mind an incestuous relationship. Same goes for Romeo and Juliet. It doesn't matter if your kids aren't having "that kind" of relationship with each other. People connect Romeo and Juliet romantically; it's a very common association for the two names when they're together (often apart, for that matter). No one will make a serious judgment about these kids, like those names are somehow causation for a sexual relationship, but the association is glaringly obvious and anyone who is even slightly literate will make it.
