Haylie and Hannah. If not twin names, how about siblings? I really like it :)

TIA

I don't think that they're too close. I'm not a fan of using the same initials for siblings though.

Not really if you truly like the two names and aren't looking for a twin effect. I know someone with a Sarah and a Samuel (not twins). I asked her once if she'd continue the S theme the next time and she said no.

I do prefer the Hayley spelling, though.

I don't really think that they're too close for twins or siblings, although for twins, Hannah seems more classic, while Haylie seems more trendy. I think they go a little better when they're not lumpted together as twins. I much prefer the sp. Hayley, and Hannah is lovely!

Haylie is really cute but way too popular! (Same for Hannah)

No, dont think there too close but I do think that they are a little boring.

SUGGESTIONS
Kylie (or Kaylee) and Heidi.

Yes, I think they're too close, for twins or siblings. Just imagine this: you are on the phone trying to talk to the insurance company that messed up your claim. Hannah is sitting quietly elsewhere reading a book, but Haylie is shouting and dancing and trying to get your attention. Stressed and confused, you keep yelling at "Hannah" to stop bothering you. Maybe it's minor, but how do you think poor Hannah would feel?

Then again, I guess this could happen to anybody. My mom sometimes calls me by my dad's name when she's really frustrated. Still, don't use it on twins. People are going to lump them together as "the twins" their entire lives. They need a sense of individuality.

Good point, but I think it happens to everybody. I have two brothers, Spencer and Parker, and they're two years apart. I constantly yell at the right brother but call him the wrong name. Even my parents do it!

They would be too close for me, both names are okay but I like Hannah more.

Well, they aren't really too close for either twins or siblings though I'd rather not see Haylie used at all after it's tiring popularity. Hannah is very sweet although it too has been very popular.
I think I'd rather see these names off of twins than on them because it's a little too cutesy for my taste. Sorry! :(

ETA: Now if it was Kayley and Hannah it would be a different story! :)
