[Opinions] Re: identical twins
in reply to a message by laney
you could look under the "Names For Twins" category, it's under "Fun Stuff" at the home page. Also, the "Anagram Names" and "Name Themes" can be helpful.
I would advise not to use too similar names, because twins (especially identical ones) already are almost always viewed as one and the same person - so they'll have enough identity problems in that category. Maybe you could try to give them dissimilar first names, but let the second name of each twin rhyme with the other one's first name. Or like the parents of Elvis did (ignoring if you in fact like these names): Elvis Aron Presley and Jesse Garon Presley (stillborn twin brother).
Name meanings are also a great way to link them, without using similar sounding names.
good luck!
