While they both start with the same letter, I don't think that River and Ramona really have anything in common. Sibling names don't necessarily have to match, but I think that River and Ramona clash too much. They're completely different styles.

How about River and Aurora or Ramona and Aurora? Aurora reminds me of some of the names on your list.

---

Or how about Ramona and Freya?

I think I said this before, but I dont think River and Ramona work as sisters. I do think River is fine on a girl, but next to Ramona it doesn't look very feminine at all. Also the feel of the names is vastly different.

River is usable for a girl, totally. People will tell you it's not because they prefer it for boys and have only seen it on boys. But really ... it's not like using Otis on a girl, or even like using Ryan on a girl. It's not "definitely girl" either ... it's as unisex as Jordan or Taylor ... or (I hate admitting) Rowan, which I personally VASTLY prefer on boys and hate to see on girls. I prefer River for boys but I think it works fine on a girl.

I don't think River and Ramona go together as twins. Ramona sounds self-consciously retro, like Betty. River sounds self-consciously 2000s. I like both names plenty well, but if I were born today as Ramona with twin sister River, I'd feel I had gotten the less hip, riskier, less youthful sounding name. River and Freya, River and Autumn, River and Lyra would seem better matched to me.

I think Pixie is awful and I don't like Willow at all.

---

If I'm giving twins River and Ramona middle names ... River Diamanda and Ramona Ivy.

PS River was a female character in Firefly, right? Also, she can kill you with her brain?

I know a boy named River, then there's River Phoenix, Joachim's late brother who was also an actor. I can't see it for girls, but then I don't like it for boys either.

Are you set on using the same first intital for both? Ramona and Oceane could work. Ramona and Freya?

River is horrible name for a girl.
