[Opinions] Re: A question about twins.
in reply to a message by Melissa
I think rhyming sets are awful; in fact most of these 'twin' names shouldn't be done on purpose IMO. It's different if two of your favourite names that you'd use anyway are anagrams, or start with the same letter (unless your two favourite names are Heaven and Nevaeh :-S). I kind of like the same meaning idea, but again I wouldn't do it if that meant having to purposefully look for names that had similar meanings, only if I already had two names that 'matched' like that. My mum and her sister are identical twins, (Beth and Jan - the only way they could be considered 'matchy' is that they have the same number of syllables, but so does their older sister, so I don't think it was on purpose), and she said that they used to get mixed up far less frequently than another set of (non-identical) twins at their school called Karen and Sharon.
