[Games] Re: Clever twin names . . . a judged game!
* Brendan Connor and Ryan Sean - all Irish, and three royal meanings (Brendan means 'prince', Ryan means 'little king' and Connor is the Angliscism of Conchobar, a legendary Irish king)
* Dylan Thomas and Elanor Rhiannon - this one's a bit more personal to me. It's two Welsh names and the elaborations of mine and Tom's nicknames, but the order is reversed
* Viola and Sebastian - the twins in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night (everybody always thinks they're just siblings for some reason)

Another idea that I thought of...Edward Christopher and Jack WilliamJohnny Depp has played two characters called Edward in Tim Burton films (Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood). He also famously played Jack Sparrow, who shares a first name with Jack Skellington, a character in Tim Burton's first stop-motion feature film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Finally, Johnny is playing a character in Burton's next stop-motion feature film 'The Corpse Bride'. Christopher and William are Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's middle names respectively according to imdb.com
