[Opinions] Thinking...
I'm writing a story and it involves twins. I was looking through the the suggested pairs earlier and I was really thinking about Melanie and Phoebe, also because I was thinking about Phoebe to begin with. And I was wondering what you guys would think about the pair.Do you like the names?
Do they fit together well?
What are some FN-MN combinations that you automatically think of?
Any different suggestions?

I really like Melanie and Phoebe. They stand well, both together and alone. How about Melanie Isabella and Phoebe Mariana?

Thank you too!Hmm....Melanie Isabella I think would be a bit too bookish what with the classic Gone With the Wind and Isabella from the popular (for around my age group at least) Twilight series. I was willing to overlook the GWtW one, but I think that maybe Isabella would put it over the top. It does flow very well though; that's really important.But I love Phoebe Mariana. Thanks bunches for that. =)
And I really appreciate you commenting at all. You didn't have to, but you did, and I came out of it with a middle name for Phoebe. So thanks again.

maybe I've seen that list of cleve twin names too many times, but Phoebe and Melanie is a tad, oh, transparent? But then again, I'm a namenerd and most people would never know the connection. So, sure. Twins named Phoebe and Melanie would be very nice. They aren't obviously twinny / matchy and I do like both names individually. How about Phoebe and Selene? Phoebus was the god of the sun (I think) and Selene has to do with the moon.

Thanks!Yes...see that's why I wanted some opinions!I really like your suggestion. I sort of want to stay with Phoebe; Melanie was just grouped with it because I couldn't really think of what to go with Phoebe. I'm considering both your suggestions now however.Thanks!
