Help[Opinions] As a sister to twins, I agree....
in reply to a message by Circus Lullaby
My brothers didn't have a major issue with it, but people really did group them together all the time. Most people couldn't tell them apart.
For this reason, very matchy names on twins can wear out their welcome a little bit, much like being dressed in matching outfits. (Then people really, really can't tell you apart!)
I like Faith and Joy as a sibset, however. I'd just make 'matching' twin names a little more subtle.

I found people make less of an effort to learn the names of the twins when their names are really similar or easy to just group together because they just adopt this "either or" attitude. I don't mind names that take thought to notice the similarities like Nathaniel and Theodore or even clever anagrams like Claus and Lucas but obvious ones just come off as a pain to live with until you're an adult.
The only time I remember recently when there was an big issue with being grouped together with my twin was when my mom freaked out that we got a shared invitation to something by my school. My sister and I didn't care much, but it was pretty classless =/
