And Violet and Wyatt are awfully similar in sound.

Huh, they don't really seem like they would belong to the same family to me as each set has a different style. It's like the parents match the twins to each other, but didn't really take the other siblings into consideration.Amelia & Eloise have an elegant French vibe to them.
Owen & Wyatt are very American and reminds me of old western cowboys.
Rose & Violet are very feminine and nature-ly/hippie.I kind of have the feeling that the parents compromised on the first set, the father named the second set, and the mother named the third set, lol.Personally, I'm not a fan of the names in the first two sets, and I actually like the flower theme of Rose and Violet; similar meanings but very different looks and sounds. It's a very fair set for twins, so neither of them should feel like they got the short straw with their name, and there shouldn't be very much confusion between them.

Not really a big fan of Eloise or Wyatt (especially Wyatt). Amelia and Owen are 2 names I really fancy. And I do agree that Rose and Violet are great names together.

I love all the names apart from Wyatt, which I've always disliked. It just doesn't sound appealing and contains the word why. Amelia and Eloise go well together, as do Rose and Violet despite being matchy. Owen and Wyatt have a similar woodsy feel, but Wyatt seems too grounded for the floaty fragrance of the girls' names, whereas Owen is just soft enough. I think I'd change Wyatt to Leo, switch Amelia for something less common, and tweak the flower names for a less obvious match.Viola & Eloise
Owen & Leo

The only name I'd use is Eloise; Owen is all right as a mn, but a friend of mine has a cousin Owen who's known as Owie, which is very unfortunate. Amelia sounds whiney, it's that ME-E-E in the middle. Wyatt is too cowboy. Rose and Violet are both flowers and colours, which makes them overdone for twins. My choices, close to the originals, would be:Eloise and Juliet, for two doomed heroines (Eloise and Emily would have been lovely 20 years ago!)
Adrian and William
Rosemary and Vivien

Owen, Wyatt, Rose, and Eloise are nice. I could definitely do without Amelia and Violet.

I love Rose & Eloise! They’re in my top 5 favorites for girls.

3 sets of twins, wow!Amelia & Eloise are my favourite of the sets.
Owen is ok, but I dislike Wyatt (I fail to see the appeal with this name!). The names kind of go together.
I agree, Rose and Violet are very matchy and I wouldn't do it, but as names individually they are ok although not really my style.
Overall I think all the girls' names go well together, but the boys stand out a bit in a slightly incongruent way within the sibling group. I would've expected something more like Leo (or Theo) & Henry (or Oliver).
