Help[Opinions] Names of twins you know
Just thought this would be interesting to see if similar sounding names are used a lot for twins.
Here are twins I know:
Girl/Girl
Sara Jana and Nora Miriam
Katharina and Christine
Jessica and Jennifer
Amelie and Annika
Boy/Boy
Christian and Christopher (the worst thing is that they're the brothers of Jessica and Jennifer. Yep, two sets of identical twins).
Boy/Girl
Luna and Leander

I've known twins named:
G/G twins:
Sandra and Erica
Camille and Tanya (or it may have been Tania)
Brooke and Amy
Bonnie and Jessica
Vanessa and Melissa
B/G twins:
John and Christine
B/B twins:
Daniel and Steven
Richard and Daniel
Morgan and Nolan
Robert and Donah (I'm guessing on the spelling of Donah. It was pronounced like Jonah with a "D.")
Alexander and Nicholas
And I remember seeing twins named Jenilyn and Jerilyn in one of my yearbooks. I didn't actually know them, but I remember thinking that their names were way too close. It didn't help that they looked so much alike and were dressed the same in the photos.
That's all I can think of right now.

Richard and Darren
Martin and Robert
Rebecca and Hannah
Sarah and Elizabeth
Sophie and Lucy
Ellen and Tracy - identical twins but their names don't go together at all in my opinion.
Sarah and Katie
Catherine and Jonathan
These are all aged late 20s - early 30s. Someone in my office had twins a couple of years ago, all I remember is one of the girls was called Lyra. The other had a more popular name.

I went to school with twins Giovanna and Teresa. At university I was friends with a girl, Valentina, whose identical twin was Margherita "Tita". One of my relatives has 3-yo twins Francesca and Isabella.
I also know triplets g/g/b Micol, Carol and Derek.
I've never heard in RL of matchy twins. The matchiest twinset I've heard of is Pietro and Paolo (and they must be quite old by now. Oh, and in kindergarten there were twins Esther and Elizabeth. I guess that's a bit matchy too.

Identical:
Ian and Zachary
Dana and Maya (pronounced DANN-a and MY-a)
Michael and David
Fraternal:
my mom and uncle at birth: Mary Bernadette and James Joseph
my mom and uncle upon adoption: Jeanne [Bernadette] and Joseph [?] (Brackets indicate confirmation names. The birth and adoptive names look similar but they are truly by accident. Joseph happened to be my grandfather's name. my mom choosing Bernadette was a total coincidence, or maybe she inheritated the name taste of her birth mother... uncanny.)
Alexandra and Jessica (Lex and Jess)
Miles Orion and Mariah Rose (they have tatoos that portray their middle names. I just met Mariah recently, who talked about her brother.)

On a side-note: Kelly and Jamie, Michael and Melanie, David and Jenny, and Brian and Michael all lived in my neighborhood. Even crazier... Michael and Melanie, David and Jenny, and Brian and Michael all lived on the same side of the same street AND they were all born within a year of each other. They were all born years before the neighborhood existed, so it wasn't anything in the water.

Arwen and Tiest (my cousins)
Jan and Iris (That's YAHN and this is NOT considered a girls name over here, Iris = EE-ris btw)
BB:
Edgar and Ralph
Mark and Sander (I think, could possibly have been Mark and Dennis. I haven't seen them in a while...)
I'm pretty sure I know more twins than just these, but I can't think of them right now :P
ETA: I thought of another one I know: Fleur & Elsemieke (GG)

These are all twins I went to high school with.
Identical:
Nicole and Courtney
Stephanie and Heather
Lucie and Stephanie
Joshua and Jeremy
Ashley and Amber
Fraternal:
Matthew and Marlin
Mitchell and Amy
There're identical twin girls at my church named Madelyn and Katelyn, and I have some sort of younger cousins (who I've never met) named Jaxon and Dixon. Blech. I think those are all the twins I know.

G/G:
Janna Alyssa and Laura Brianna [I have a feeling their middle names were the names they were given at birth, since they were adopted]
Laura and Linda
Hailey Lennis and Jillian Marie
Christina "Tina" and Alexandra "Anna" [Anna is prn Ah-na]
B / B:
Kristofer and Matthew
B / G:
Kaitlyn Elizabeth and Jonathan
Benjamin "Ben" and Sarah
I also know a set of triplets: Bradley "Brad", Robert "Bobby", and Kristen
All the sets are around my age, except Ben and Sarah, who are the children of a teacher at my school. So no, not a lot of matchy stuff here. Laura and Linda is probably the closest.
