Aidan however it is spelt is to me a very masculine name while Nadia is pretty and feminine anyone hearing you talking about your children would assume they were brother and sister not sisters.

---

I dont think Anagrams are too bad but it depends on how similar ie
Daina / Dania or Amalie /Amelia are far too similar while Nadia and Diana or Malia / Alima or Almeria / Mariela are not too bad

Aidan misspelled and used for a girl are both no-no's in my book. Sorry. Especially paired with such a pretty, feminine name like Nadia. Everyone will assume they are brother & sister upon first hearing the names. I say stick with Nadia, and if you must, use Aidan or a variant as the mn for a little girl. Even b/g twins named Aidan & Nadia would be better than sisters named Nadia & Aydan imo.

Pet peeve: Aidan is a boy's name with very old roots (5th century Irish saint). It is not a girl's name, no matter how it is misspelled.

---

Twin / sibling names that are also anagrams are subtle enough that they wouldn't look too contrived / cutesy. As long as you really love both names and aren't stretching, I don't see a problem. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but I'm sure others will come up with some great examples.

Good luck.

I think that if they weren't told, most people wouldn't notice. People are notoriously bad at noticing things, in my experience, so I don't think that it'd be a problem.

I love Nadia and also Nadya. However, Ayden is horribly trendy and far too masculine for a girl. If you like names that mean fire, why not use Azar, Nina, Shula, Pyrrha, or Fiammetta? They all mean fire, and they're all actually girl names.

---

I really like Azar, actually, and the similar-sounding Azucar.

So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key.
