Isolde and Percival
Nimue & Yvain
Morgan & Arthur
Not sure about middle names. Maybe sticking with the same theme they could be Morgan Isolde and Arthur Tristan. Merlin is a guilty pleasure - Merlin Cai. Peredur might become a new guilty pleasure :)
Kay on a boy these days would be awkward with this spelling. And some of the others might have difficulty with pronunciation. I don't find Igerna/Igraine particularly feminine. And the older forms of Isolde are not pretty. Mordred and its variants are likewise very unattractive. Gawain is also far nicer than Walganus (quite hideous!). The rest are ok.

Isolde and Cai
On another day it'd be Morgan and Tristan, but I'm feeling more adventurous today. Isolde was a really early name love of mine, I don't remember where I first encountered it but I thought it was so cool and beautiful. I don't dislike any of them... I'd certainly roll my eyes if I met a real life Merlin or Lancelot but they're old names, mythological names and I respect them for that in their own right.. and they'd be good names for cats.

Guinevere & Mordred
Just with those names:
Guinevere Enid Lunete & Mordred Tristan Cai
And with any:
Guinevere Alice Winter & Mordred William Kit
I love Arthur as well, but it's way too popular for me, so it's on my guilty pleasure list. So is Mordred, but on the too weird/not so good association side, although after Merlin (the BBC TV show) I did have a teensy short term crush on him haha. I quite liked Guinevere, as a character, in the show too. Coincidently I was just looking at some Merlin pins and thinking of having a rewatch, I miss it!

and totally as a twin set! They both end in -an and have two syllables. My combos would probably be Morgan Abigail and Tristan Everett, because Abigail and Everett are both in my top 50 for their respective genders. If I had to use only the names you provided, they'd be Morgan Elaine and Tristan Owain.
