[Opinions] Anyone have usable twin names?
I already asked about Delani and Denali, which is a good example of bad twin names.

What are "twin names"
I wouldn't name my children something matchy, or that went together, or sounded alike.
A good example of what not to do is Jennifer and Jessica (I know a twinset with these names. I think their middle names are Lynn and Leigh -gag-)
I'd just want my children to have two combos that didn't sound too much alike and that I loved alot.

You mean themed names?
Vesper & Danica
Eris & Ceres (dwarf planets and mythological)
Daphne & Ophelia
Morwen & Rhian (Welsh)
Freya & Liv (Norse)
Avalon & Arcadia (mythological place names)
Caledonia & Albion (romantic names for Scotland and England)
Georgia & Florence (place names)
Temperance & Mercy
Aoife & Caoimhe (same/similar meaning)

What do you mean by usable? Just pick two nice names.

If I had twins, I would just give them two names I loved, and leave it at that. No offense, but I think some people tend to over-think twin names, giving them rhyming ones, or names with the same meaning. They don't have to match; after all, they are going to be two separate people.
Ditto everything +
I don't know why people think that twins should have "twin names". It's just weird imo. Use the two names you like the best. That's what I would do. Being a twin myself I know that you will be paired with your twin enough as it is. You don't need almost identical names as well.
ETA: I would name my twins Ellen and August, Ellen and Astrid or August and Isidore. I think that they are great names for siblings and twins and they are also my favorite names. They all have the same style and feeling imo and there's no need to overthink names just because it is twins you're naming.
