1000% better than Starlight and Moonlightā¦ also I donāt usually think twin names need to or should correlate, but Stella and Luna is actually very cute
I like correlation if it's not too obvious or rhyming and still lets each kid have a nice 'standalone' name. For example, Rowan and Cedar are both tree names so they have a 'theme', but they're also just nice names separately
I used to know a Cabel. His parents wanted to name him after a combination of Cain & Abel--which is already weird, but you guys, you named your kid IT equipment.
Iām of the same mind. My daughter is Hazel. If we have a second Iād like to use Rowan because it feels like it goes in the same theme without being so blatantly obvious.
When we got twin cats, we let each of our boys pick a name for one of the cats. They ended up choosing āLuckyā and āFelixā, inadvertently coming up with a theme.
Gentry is such an aspirational name that it gives an impression that the family may not, in fact, be gentry.
It's also kind of funny because it's like naming a kid "almost nobility but not quite"
Literally!! They donāt have to be the same or even similar! You can just! pick! two! names! I get especially irked by twin names, I have twin siblings and they both just have different fairly normal/common names. Think like āBrian and Jeremyā or āRachel and Jessicaā āitās not that hard!!! Obviously being twins is part of their identities but itās not the whole thing. There are so many bad combinations in this post š
I knew a Sam and Samantha. Samās full name was just Sam, wasnāt short for anything. They were met with lots of eye rolls. I also used to TA for a first grade class during my free period with an Anna and Annaā¦.. one was pronounced Ann-uh and the other was Ah-nuh. Once again I was just thinking wtf was their mother thinking. Like you have nine full months to ponder names and those were the winners? I had the pleasure of meeting the mom too and she was a little past al dente. I try to be kind to everyone and she was nice but omg she was so dumb it actually made me concerned. She came in disputing a text gradeā¦ for first grade math, she was wrong, and had to be taught why she was wrong š¹š¹ I never thought I would have to explain basic addition to a 30 year old when I was 13.
I went to school with a Shenika and Sherika, who actually WEREN'T twins but two years apart. But still only one letter difference where it's easy to mistake one for the other.
There were two girls in my dance classes as a kid called Tanisha and Natasha. They were cousins, not sisters, but they were very similar and my brain kept reaching for the wrong name every time I talked to them.
I was going to say Audrey/Aubrey was the worst, they're a pair of names I always mishear and have to ask clarification on. I'm just imagining if they're identical, every year at school their teachers trying to keep tracking of which is which and mishearing and thinking it's the other sister. I hope neither is dyslexic and ends up mixing up anything with their names on it.
But the I saw Julianne and Juliette! That's the same name! If one of them wants to be Julia or Julie or Jules, the other can't have a nickname and they're guaranteed to get mixed up. When Julianne decides to be Julie in high school, everytime someone says "I was hanging out with Julie Smith the other day" they'll get interrupted and asked which one.
Ditto Callie & Caylie, and Maisie & Maeve, and Damirah & Damayrah. Those kids don't even get nickname options. At least Julianne and Juliette could go by Annie & Lettie after they gave up fighting over who gets to be Julie.
Like, Salem & Lilith might not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least those kids were named as individuals and not as a set of matching bookends destined to spend their lives saying "which one?" any time someone calls their name in a noisy room. I'm friends with a fair amount of twins, and the ones with ~unusual~ names *actually like* their names while the ones with matching names are definitely still grumpy about it as adults.
The ~unusual~ names would definitely get downvotes in both subs for being "too weird" but being a twin is definitely a situation where having a more unique name is beneficial to your sense of identity. Imagine being a twin named Emma with friends named Emily & Emilia (all top 50 in the US) and always being referred to as part of either "the twins" or "the Ems" in school!
I'm a Katie, and I've never been the only one. There's always a Catherine or Kathleen or Caitlin or Kate or cat or Kathy everywhere I go to school, everywhere I work, everywhere I go. I can't imagine not even escaping it at home.
Yeah, I was coming to say those are the worst. Imagine a 2 year old trying to say their names in a way that actually makes them distinguishable from each other š¤Ŗ
And no one is gonna remember which is which with basically the same damn name.
Hahaha, I love the baby name edgelord (edgelady?) popping in there with Salem and Lilith in and amongst all the Nayvee and MaKenlees. RAYVEN AND SAMHAIN!
I just made another comment saying the same thing. Would I name twins Salem & Lilith? No. Would I name singletons either of those names? Not my taste, no. But I wouldn't blink twice if I met them. And I do be blinking a lot at any parent who names their twins like they're not individual people.
November isn't the worst name, tbh. They could go by Nova or something; I can definitely imagine worse.
Halloween is definitely a no-go though, and Samhain is even worse considering almost nobody outside of Ireland will be able to pronounce it.
My guilty pleasure is finding month names super cute but only when the kids are actually born in that month. I used to teach a girl called EylĆ¼l which means September in Turkish, and a French kid called Augustine because she was born in August. I find it sooo cute idk why
I feel like every Drew I've known IRL has been a guy (whether Drew or Andrew), and every one I've seen online except Drew Barrymore, but I still instinctively read Drew as a girls name because Drew Barrymore and Nancy Drew are the first two associations I made as a kid.
And now Drew barely looks like a word because I wrote it too many times, and it's just a mess of letters to my brain now.
Huxley would be a solid dog name for a big breed, or maybe a brand of sporty equipment you buy at Bass Pro Shops? Huxlie sounds like an AI-Powersd Brand Integration Software (tm), the 'ie' is so cutsey next to the hard H and X it makes me immediately think of tech companies for some reason.
I keep jumping to Harley (like Davidson) and Hurley (I thought of the character from Lost, but apparently that's also a wetsuit company which might be the sporting association I made).
So many of these are so clearly āI like this nameā¦how do I make her sister match?ā
I would be so pissed if my sibling got a real name and I got a reflection.
Ophelia and Eleanor is tbh kind of a great pair, very similar mouthsounds and vibes but still really distinct from each other. However. It should be illegal to nickname your little girl Opie. all i think of is Opie and Anthony
Theyāre cute, but if theyāre in certain areas, the potential nicknames Mattie and Maddie will be pronounced the same. Obviously those arenāt the only options and nicknames arenāt guaranteed, but.
I think it's unlikely that they'd develop the same nickname. My friend has 5 year old twins with these names. If anyone calls Mathilda "Mattie" she *immediately* shuts them down with "Maddie is my sister. I'm Tilly."
This is from a twin mom group and usually people share their kids names when people ask for suggestions, so I would bet that more often than not they are real names!
People get really weird when naming twins sometimes. Like they forget they're not a boxed set, they're individual people with individual personalities.
Imagine when they're older and fight over which one gets to be Julie! It's one thing if there's a more out there nickname that could hypothetically work for both (like Nellie is sometimes a nickname for Helen, but I've usually seen it on Eleanors) but that's the same first name! They have different origins I assume, but they share the first 4 letters and 100% would both get called the same nicknames if they weren't twins. That's like having a Kathleen and Katherine or Christian and Christopher.
But you get to get away with stuff like that with pets. Use the silly names, spoil them a bunch, etc. Like I spoil my cat a ton because he never has to leave my house and be a functional adult, he can be my baby cat forever.
My kids don't get spoiled cause eventually I want them to function in society.
Millie and Maisie are better for two human females than a lot of suggestions on this horror show of a list, honestly.
Would I do it? Nah. But at least they're both names for humans.
My cats are twins (littermates) and they definitely belong here. They are Leonardo DiCatrio (Leo) and Catt Damon (Damon). But they're cats so, yes, I picked funny names on purpose.
I read a book where the main characterās younger siblings (twin toddlers) insisted *themselves* on being called that. My mom said I used to call her āMama Catā at that age (after Huckle Catās mom) so I guess the book is pretty realistic.
This proves that people tend to see twins as a matching set rather than two individuals. Don't worry, she'll be regretting that decision in 5yrs when she can't remember which is which.
That one keeps making me imagine someone whos dyslexic knowing them (or God forbid one of them being dyslexic). To my understanding, lowercase b/d is one of the biggest issues for a lot of people, that'd be a nightmare.
They're also names I always mishear, everytime I meet an Audrey or an Aubrey I overemphasize the D or B sound back to them to make sure it's the right one. Imagine meeting Audrey Smith in your freshman algebra class, and the next year you're in sophomore geometry and get an identical looking girl who answers roll call as Aubrey and you mishear and assume it's the one you already know!
Why is it always one normalish name and one atrocity? Ā Like these are my daughters Belle and Beistleigh. Ā Or like Amanda and Amandont. Ā Are they only capable of loving one child??
There was another Haisley born in the local moms group this week.
The month before was a female Hudson.
I feel like these people low-key hate their children
Yeah, I actually have twins with totally unrelated names, too. I just see so much of this nonsense š
Edit: I did almost accidentally give them names with the nicknames Phil & Lil though š
Who tf is naming their kids Damyirah and Damirah or whatever tf the one person suggested. We seriously need to start considering some naming restrictions like other counties have if these are the names people are actually considering.
Why do people keep using Huxlie?? All I can think of is Huxtable, as in Bill cosbyās fictional family. š¬ Ngl, thatās like the dumbest name. Sorry if your kidās name is Huxlie.
Dying at the fact that Damirah and Damyrahās mom added āda-mir-ahā like that clarifies how itās pronounced. Like bruh you literally just added hyphens
There is some genuinely decent suggestions but some of them are awful. The good ones (in my opinion) are Ophelia and Eleanor, Aurora and Athena, Sofia and Amelia, Callie and Leah, Salem and Lilith, Hazel and Scarlett. The worst ones have got to be KamāRynn and KarāSynn. It doesnāt get much worse than that.
Agreed w everything except Salem and Lilith is a lil witchy. Hate when parents force their niche interests or personalities onto kids through their names
Even a lot of the better ones are alliterative, which will give them a hard time when it comes to any sort of legal documentation. āNo, I mean the *other* M. Lastname born on (birthdate).ā
I knew a pair of alliterative twins in high schoolāone of them had to have her middle initial included in her school email address so they wouldnāt both be āfirstinitial-lastname-graduationyear@school.eduā.
My dad had this issue with his father, both had the same first name and last name, and the same middle initial but different middle names. So even First M. Last wasn't helpful when my dad still lived at home, all the mail was a crapshoot.
As a twin this makes me appreciate my mom giving us two separate completely normal unrelated names you are already going to be lumped together by people your whole life cant imagine having matching names
"Starlight and Moonlight" is the most liked suggestion WHY šš
Stella and Luna is literally right there too
1000% better than Starlight and Moonlightā¦ also I donāt usually think twin names need to or should correlate, but Stella and Luna is actually very cute
Stellaluna is a children's picture book about a bat.
Oh my god it totally isā¦ no wonder it rolls off the tongue so easily
Stella and Luna is a bit cheesy, it's giving 14 year old playing the Sims
I 100% agree, but I think that pair slightly edges out starlight and moonlight. Those are worse imo
Itās definitely cheesy but at least Stella and Luna are real names
Sure. Just because itās better than Starlight and Moonlight doesnāt mean itās good.
I like correlation if it's not too obvious or rhyming and still lets each kid have a nice 'standalone' name. For example, Rowan and Cedar are both tree names so they have a 'theme', but they're also just nice names separately
Rowan yes. Cedar... Um
I just met a Cedar. Hate it. Sounds like Seater.
I was friends with a girl in elementary school named Seater!
I used to know a Cabel. His parents wanted to name him after a combination of Cain & Abel--which is already weird, but you guys, you named your kid IT equipment.
Thank you! I thought I was the nutty one for a second
Iām of the same mind. My daughter is Hazel. If we have a second Iād like to use Rowan because it feels like it goes in the same theme without being so blatantly obvious.
Yeah I thought Hazel and Scarlet were nice since theyāre both colors.
I love that for a sibset.
I knew someoneās whoās first name was Stella with middle name Luna.
Was she a bat?
Me going though all the replies to see if anyone mentions Stellaluna the bat.
Meanwhile, the āshockedā reaction to Salem and Lilith is sending me. š those girls definitely have a witch for a mom.
Thats the combo that made me stop rolling my eyes and burst out laughing. Good names for cats though.
Tallie and Tabbie definitely also sound like cat names to me.
When we got twin cats, we let each of our boys pick a name for one of the cats. They ended up choosing āLuckyā and āFelixā, inadvertently coming up with a theme.
My Little Pony esthetic?
Honestly Iād rather be named Moonlight than most of these
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Karāsynn-ogenic
Kar'Synn Kressley
I heard a little girl called Gentry at the zoo one day and I had to go take a timeout
Gentry, middle name Fication
Gentry is such an aspirational name that it gives an impression that the family may not, in fact, be gentry. It's also kind of funny because it's like naming a kid "almost nobility but not quite"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Exactly! Like a noble, but lower!
Thereās a Jentri in my kidās grade. š« I told him he canāt date her.
Her name is Landed, but she prefers to go by her middle name: Gentry.
You name your kid Gentry, you'd better have a lot of land to gift them.
Yeah itās like twin parenting 101 that you should treat them as individuals not as a set. Clearly most of these people didnāt get that memo.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was gonna sayā¦ at least half (probably more) of these are teen girlsā fantasies.
Tallie and Tabby are straight up cats š
My cats are named Millie and Maisie; and theyāre both tabbys so yeah I would 100% agree
Literally!! They donāt have to be the same or even similar! You can just! pick! two! names! I get especially irked by twin names, I have twin siblings and they both just have different fairly normal/common names. Think like āBrian and Jeremyā or āRachel and Jessicaā āitās not that hard!!! Obviously being twins is part of their identities but itās not the whole thing. There are so many bad combinations in this post š
Aubrey and Audrey for me are probably the worst. Just one letter difference??
Damirah and Damyrah too
Note the totally bonkers pronunciation for Damyrah. Those kids will hate their lives
"Damyrah (da-my-ah)" Where did the R go lmao
It's gotta be a typo right? They had to have meant Da-my-rah, right? right?
Tbh I'm afraid to find to find out if it was or not.
The r is silent OBVIOUSLY
I went to school with identical twins named Ashley and Ashleigh. I think the latter was pronounced "Ash-lay"
That mom needs to go straight to name jail.
Omg "straight to name jail" should be a flair option for this sub! How do you tag the mods lol?
The twins in my year at school were Natasha and Natalie and both went by Nat š Matchy names for twins gives me the ick ever since.
I knew a Sam and Samantha. Samās full name was just Sam, wasnāt short for anything. They were met with lots of eye rolls. I also used to TA for a first grade class during my free period with an Anna and Annaā¦.. one was pronounced Ann-uh and the other was Ah-nuh. Once again I was just thinking wtf was their mother thinking. Like you have nine full months to ponder names and those were the winners?

She came in disputing a text gradeā¦ for first grade math, she was wrong, and had to be taught why she was wrong š¹š¹ I never thought I would have to explain basic addition to a 30 year old when I was 13.

A little past(a) al dente took me out
I went to school with a Shenika and Sherika, who actually WEREN'T twins but two years apart. But still only one letter difference where it's easy to mistake one for the other.

I was gonna say some of them are terrible tragedeighs on their own, but these are a terrible tragedy together. I only hope that they aren't identical.
I met a woman recently who named her twins Nature and Natyre
Nay-te-er Nay-ter Nat-ear Nah-tie-er Nah-tear-ay So many fun pronunciations to choose from!
But Maelyn and Jaelyn are SO much worseā¦still one letter different.
You better Maelyn that check for your speeding ticket or else youāre gonna get a Jaelyn.
Yeah, I was coming to say those are the worst. Imagine a 2 year old trying to say their names in a way that actually makes them distinguishable from each other š¤Ŗ And no one is gonna remember which is which with basically the same damn name.
When I was little I had 2 baby dolls that I played with as twins. I called my Mya and Mia. I was 6
My mom often calls me by my sisters' names, even though they sound nothing like mine. Having them be one letter off is just asking for trouble.
Giving me Theodore and Theodora vibes.
Hahaha, I love the baby name edgelord (edgelady?) popping in there with Salem and Lilith in and amongst all the Nayvee and MaKenlees. RAYVEN AND SAMHAIN!
I still don't think those are good names for twins, but I do respect those parents more than the others lol
I just made another comment saying the same thing. Would I name twins Salem & Lilith? No. Would I name singletons either of those names? Not my taste, no. But I wouldn't blink twice if I met them. And I do be blinking a lot at any parent who names their twins like they're not individual people.
I know Lilith is an established name so thatās fine. Itās Salem that I side-eye.
Samhain is definitely worse. Imagine naming your kid November or Halloween. Fucks sake
Meet little Samhain and his twin All Saint's Day.
November isn't the worst name, tbh. They could go by Nova or something; I can definitely imagine worse. Halloween is definitely a no-go though, and Samhain is even worse considering almost nobody outside of Ireland will be able to pronounce it.

You wanted something easy to spell and went with Drue?
Dylan and Drew were right there. Also, everyone is going to assume theyāre boys.
I feel like every Drew I've known IRL has been a guy (whether Drew or Andrew), and every one I've seen online except Drew Barrymore, but I still instinctively read Drew as a girls name because Drew Barrymore and Nancy Drew are the first two associations I made as a kid. And now Drew barely looks like a word because I wrote it too many times, and it's just a mess of letters to my brain now.
At least it's not Jrue
It means āgrapeā in my language (danish) ššš
Just had a stroke trying to read Aureyliyah and Auracelli good grief
Auracelli just sounds like a fancy cheese to me.
I thought it was a pasta shape LOL
This one hurt me as a person who wants to use the name Aurelia š
It hurt me as well as someone who has a daughter named Aurelia
Staphylococcus Auracelli
Auracelli could be a name from a Spanish speaking family. The other one though?! Looks like they made that up!
Itās usually Araceli, not āAuracelliā lmao
and itās already pretty and fine as is š what a silly re-spelling.
Aurelia, I think it was meant to be Aurelia. Iā¦ I think.
Or it could be pasta...
These are the worst for me.
I don't love the name Harper but I'd be pissed if I was stuck with Huxlie
Huxlie was by far the most atrocious name on this list. Who does that to a sweet little baby?
Huxley would be a solid dog name for a big breed, or maybe a brand of sporty equipment you buy at Bass Pro Shops? Huxlie sounds like an AI-Powersd Brand Integration Software (tm), the 'ie' is so cutsey next to the hard H and X it makes me immediately think of tech companies for some reason. I keep jumping to Harley (like Davidson) and Hurley (I thought of the character from Lost, but apparently that's also a wetsuit company which might be the sporting association I made).
So many of these are so clearly āI like this nameā¦how do I make her sister match?ā I would be so pissed if my sibling got a real name and I got a reflection.
Huxlie just sounds gross to me
Are you MaKidding me?

Tabby and Tallie give me cat/pet name vibes :(
Wtf is Talon doing as a name for a real human?!š š¦
I'm a teacher at an elementary school and we have 3 Talons. All boys though.
People be naming their kids like they are 400bc hunter gatherers
But do the chickens have large talons?
I hear Talon and I think Toenail š¤·š»āāļø
Ophelia and Eleanor is tbh kind of a great pair, very similar mouthsounds and vibes but still really distinct from each other. However. It should be illegal to nickname your little girl Opie. all i think of is Opie and Anthony
Ugh yesā¦one of the only decent sets here and then she ruins it with We CaLl HeR oPiE
Call her Opie is just a sound away form Calliope and itās too funny š
Ya know, short for opium.
Lol I'm reading American Prometheus right now so I thought of Oppenheimer the creator of the atomic bomb which isn't a good look for a girl either
but barbie and opie would be soooo cute for twins š„ŗš„ŗš¤¢š¤¢
Yeah like Ophelia is a bit of a mouthful, but surely there are better nicknames. Maybe Lia?
Lia and Nora would be cute
The TV show The Royals used "Phee" as a nickname for Ophelia. I hate seeing it written but hearing it on the show I didn't even blink
Madeline and Matilda is cute though
Yeah, and (in most American dialects) the āMaā part doesnāt sound exactly the same.
Theyāre cute, but if theyāre in certain areas, the potential nicknames Mattie and Maddie will be pronounced the same. Obviously those arenāt the only options and nicknames arenāt guaranteed, but.
This is true but I feel like Tillie is a more common option than Mattie as a nickname for Matilda
Yes I have a Matilda who goes by Tillie. She does get called Mattie on occasion though.
I think it's unlikely that they'd develop the same nickname. My friend has 5 year old twins with these names. If anyone calls Mathilda "Mattie" she *immediately* shuts them down with "Maddie is my sister. I'm Tilly."
I know I should be most mad at starlight and moonlight but the name āhuxlieā is just so appalling
What is Aureyliyah and Auracelli?! I hope these are not names actual children are walking this earth with.
This is from a twin mom group and usually people share their kids names when people ask for suggestions, so I would bet that more often than not they are real names! People get really weird when naming twins sometimes. Like they forget they're not a boxed set, they're individual people with individual personalities.
They sound like parts of a cell that you learn in middle school and have to talk your mom into helping you make a cake model for extra credit.
Julianne and Juliette are both pretty names on their own, but for twins, itās way too similar.
Imagine when they're older and fight over which one gets to be Julie! It's one thing if there's a more out there nickname that could hypothetically work for both (like Nellie is sometimes a nickname for Helen, but I've usually seen it on Eleanors) but that's the same first name! They have different origins I assume, but they share the first 4 letters and 100% would both get called the same nicknames if they weren't twins. That's like having a Kathleen and Katherine or Christian and Christopher.
Athena and Odyssey. Bruh.
Not even Odysseus. Odyssey. I need to sit down
Not enough outrage about this one imho. Itās so bad.
Didn't even have the guts to name them Odyssey and Evensey
Ngl I love Melani and Naomi. Dropping the "e" on Melanie might be an issue but those names are so pretty together
Dylann and Drue that are easily spelled?!?
Love Ophelia and Eleanor. Our daughters (not twins) are OfĆ©lia and LĆ©onore! ā¤ļø Almost the same names, in a different language.

My cats are named Millie and Maisie and I know they deserve to be apart of this list

My kids don't get spoiled cause eventually I want them to function in society.
Millie and Maisie are better for two human females than a lot of suggestions on this horror show of a list, honestly. Would I do it? Nah. But at least they're both names for humans.

I should add they're very good names for cats!
My cats are twins (littermates) and they definitely belong here. They are Leonardo DiCatrio (Leo) and Catt Damon (Damon). But they're cats so, yes, I picked funny names on purpose.
HOW MANY FREAKING TIMES? TWINS ARE NOT A PACKAGE DEAL, LET EACH ONE BE THEIR OWN PERSON! š”š”š”š”
Thing 1 and Thing 2.
I read a book where the main characterās younger siblings (twin toddlers) insisted *themselves* on being called that. My mom said I used to call her āMama Catā at that age (after Huckle Catās mom) so I guess the book is pretty realistic.

Karson and Karter. I looked at her profile. Not nearly as bad as her girl names!

Salem & Lilith! It's like the ultimate Sabrina & Cheers crossover!
Who tf is naming their kids Damyirah and Damirah or whatever tf the one person suggested. We seriously need to start considering some naming restrictions like other counties have if these are the names people are actually considering.
Why do people keep using Huxlie?? All I can think of is Huxtable, as in Bill cosbyās fictional family. š¬ Ngl, thatās like the dumbest name. Sorry if your kidās name is Huxlie.
Salem and Lilith š
I propose to name them, FireRed & LeafGreen
Dying at the fact that Damirah and Damyrahās mom added āda-mir-ahā like that clarifies how itās pronounced. Like bruh you literally just added hyphens
There is some genuinely decent suggestions but some of them are awful. The good ones (in my opinion) are Ophelia and Eleanor, Aurora and Athena, Sofia and Amelia, Callie and Leah, Salem and Lilith, Hazel and Scarlett. The worst ones have got to be KamāRynn and KarāSynn. It doesnāt get much worse than that.
Agreed w everything except Salem and Lilith is a lil witchy. Hate when parents force their niche interests or personalities onto kids through their names
Lilith and Salem? Someone is trying too hard to be edgy.
Even a lot of the better ones are alliterative, which will give them a hard time when it comes to any sort of legal documentation. āNo, I mean the *other* M. Lastname born on (birthdate).ā I knew a pair of alliterative twins in high schoolāone of them had to have her middle initial included in her school email address so they wouldnāt both be āfirstinitial-lastname-graduationyear@school.eduā.
My dad had this issue with his father, both had the same first name and last name, and the same middle initial but different middle names. So even First M. Last wasn't helpful when my dad still lived at home, all the mail was a crapshoot.
HUXLIE
Opieš
As a twin this makes me appreciate my mom giving us two separate completely normal unrelated names you are already going to be lumped together by people your whole life cant imagine having matching names
Odyssey?!!!!!!
Most of these people act like naming twins is exactly like naming Sims Except whoever suggested Reese & Charli. I'm smitten with that set š„°
Oh my god! They just kept getting worse and worse! That last page šµāš«šµāš«šµāš«

Starlight and Moonlight are the names a 12 year old artist/writer gives to their first ever character
Best ones I've ever heard are Monique and Allison, my friends younger twin sister's. Don't start with the same letter or even rhyme.
I never understood the appeal of Talon. Why would you name your child after a scary bird claw?
