I think Waylon is nice (although I prefer Wayland) - on a BOY. It doesn't sound good on a girl.
I absolutely LOVE Santos, but Sandy sounds too feminine on a boy.

child abuse (jk but it is bad)
IMO It's very mismatched which bothers me but it isn't the end of the world, however Waylon for a girl is awful and then to name her twin Santos and give him the nn Sandy??? I know a Santos and unless they're Hispanic, native Spanish speakers, etc, then I can't imagine why they would use it. An with the nn Sandy it makes me wonder if they know it's prn "sahn tohs" and not "san tohs".
Overall I think these people used their kids names as an opportunity to be cool or weird on purpose without caring how the kids might feel.

I thought that they were both boys before I read the content of your post. Even if they were both boys, the names would clash, but Waylon and Santos clash even more as sister and brother names. I don't mind the names individually for boys, but I dislike them for siblings, and I don't like Waylon for girls.
Waylon and Sandy go together better than Waylon and Santos, but Waylon (girl) and Sandy (boy) are confusing sister and brother names. I imagine that people call the girl Sandy and the boy Waylon by mistake on a regular basis.

I'm thinking WTH! Waylon and Santos are complete mismatched. I'm not saying sibsets must match perfectly. These are just too diverse. In addition, Waylon for a girl is beyond redemption/tacky/ugly (choose one). Sandy can also be a feminine name and if I were told about m/f twins named Waylon and Sandy, I'd think Waylon was the male twin and Sandy was the female twin.
BTW, I just mentioned this to my dh and he said Waylon and Sandy reminded him of a whale upon the sand. Whatever (eye roll). I don't think most people will go there, LOL.

I prefer Waylon for a boy. I can see why Santos goes by Sandy, since that's a hard name to live up to. Waylon and Santos are so different that it doesn't sound like a good sibset.

Waylon sounds horrible on a girl.
