Also, do you think they would have to start with the same letter?

I have several sets of twins - and they all have themes

Hypothetical twins, of course. As you can see, going over the top does not give me vertigo!

Grace and Mercy -- God's two greatest gifts to Mankind.
Lyric and Harmony -- My musical babies.
Patience and Peace -- My virtuous girls.
Lily and Rose -- I don't care, I don't care, I don't CARE how popular they are!
Liberty and Verity -- Truth and Freedom are sisters.
Elisabella and Katrienne -- I created these individually but love them together.
Selene and Soleil -- The Moon and the Sun as sisters.
Butterfly and Nightingale -- Two beautiful wingèd creatures.
Sonnet and Song -- Poetry and music: beautiful words both spoken and sung.

I'd only use identical letters if I happened to like two names with that letter. Now, if I were still on my Scottish naming kick, I'd go for Davina and Fiona (dh loves Fiona). Most of the time, I'd go with my favorite, Marina, and something my dh would like such as Elizabeth or Cassandra. He'd definitely want one of those.

Twin girls

First off. No, I don't think they have to match in anyway.
If you have identical twins that's even one more thing to draw them together when really all they want is to be on their own.

A subtle connection would be nice though. Like sharing Grandmothers name or a family name in general.

I don't think they have to match, I oftentimes don't like them matching actually. I don't see an issue with naming kids names tht start with the same letter but don't sound similar. I dislike names that are cute like Hayden and Aidan or Summer and Autumn.

I would probably use Marguerite Ruth and Evangeline Faye or Marguerite Ruth and Eleanor Colette

reading the rules before you post. CAPS is considered shouting and it is rude, and we don't "steal" names. Starlette isn't patented by you, and if someone else likes it, too bad. There are many names on the board with lots of people who like them. That's the way of the world.

Anyone silly enough to throw an unprovokes tantrum about people "stealing" names should be prepared for the fallout. Even 12 yos (which I'd bet money that she is from the attitude and screenname) need to learn consequences.

If she's a Capricorn and was born in 1993, as her screen name would indicate, then she must have either turned 13 in January or be turning 13 in December. I'm betting on the latter! :-)

I don't think they have to start with the same letter, and if I had twins I probably wouldn't do that unless I loved both names, but I think it's cute if they start with the same letter.

I don't really like any names that start with the same letter for a girl, so if I had twins I probably wouldn't name them names that start with the same letter.. actually Rory and Reagan are pretty cute, for either boy or girl, as twins.

PS-
I have identical twin cousins. (John "Jonhy" and Ronald "Ronnie")
Everything about them grownig up was the same to their mom. (my aunt

They had to dress the same and they were pretty much expected to be the same.
They now HATE their rhyming nick names and dress and act noting alike. So I guess what I am getting at is -
twins just look alike they don't have to BE alike.
So you dont have to give them names of the same letter. (even though I did)

No, they would not have to start with the same letter. They could, if you felt like it, but there's hardly a law for it.
If I were to stick to this same first letter bull (for first names, at least), they'd be Roberta Rae and Rosemary Clair (Birdie and Romy). ;) Otherwise, I'm feeling Evening Rae and Rosemary Clair. Together, Evey and Romy or Evey and Posey.
