Nice names overall. Nothing too matchy-matchy and cute.

Though I much prefer Emma to Emmaline, Alice and Emmaline make a classic and beautiful sibset.

Ugh! Why have Alice and Emmaline been respectively reduced to Ally and Emma?

Alice (Ally) and Emmaline (Emma)- I love Alice and really like Emmaline / Emmeline, but the nns are so dull compared to beautiful fns! Ally isn't terrible, but Emma is so overused. Not bad overall, though.Darby Grace (Darby) and Mary Allison (Alli)- Very mismatched. I like Mary, the rest are nmsaa.Aiden Jacob (Jake) and Andrew River (River)- Andrew River is really cool, and I adore River, but Aiden Jacob is painfully unremarkable.Alanna Skye (Alanna) and Austin Samuel (Sam)- This is like the one above this! I positively adore Alanna Skye, and hate Austin Samuel. Also, two thumbs down for matching initials on twins.

What's with all these people going by their middle names?! Well, the only combos I really like are Mary Allison and Andrew River. Darby is just terrible. It's just a surname and so unfeminine! Darby and Mary seem really mismatched.
