[Opinions] Re: Twins I knew
in reply to a message by gigibee
I don't think twins or siblings have to match, it's nice when they have their own distinct names. There's nothing wrong with Marsella (although I'd prefer Marcella) and Ashley.
As far as twin names with clashing styles, I'd have to nominate Jenna and Barbara Bush. Jenna is modern while Barbara is very dated. I know they were both named after their grandmothers, but the idea of a grandmother-aged Jenna seems very strange! Twins Jenna and Barbara bother me, but not so much because of the clashing styles - I just really dislike the name Barbara, and the use of Jenna as a sibling seems to intensify how dated it is.
