Don’t do the rhymey/matchy thing. It is silly and demeaning and by no means a requirement to indicate that your daughters are twins. I’d suggest Dionne & Athena. Dioni is too apt to be mispronounced. Is it DIE oh knee or DEE oh knee or something else like dee OH knee? See what I mean?
Dionne Willow & Athena Maren

Darcy and Delaney
Fiona and Felicity
Iris and Ivy
Jade and Skye
Valencia and Vienna

Athena and Aurelia/Ariella are beautiful. Dioni and Dominy are not. They are tacky and cheap to be very frank.

I COMPLETELY agree with poster 1 on the matching thing. As a twin myself, that makes me want to vomit all my insides out. Why do people do that?
Dioni (Dione works even better) and Aurelia.
Dominy and Aurelia.
Best Wishes! :)

Dionne is my middle name. dee-AHN is the pronunciation of that. Dioni rhymes with Johnny basically, dee-ahn-ee. My father’s name is Dominic and Dominica is just choppy on my tongue. Dominy was a variation that I liked. For Heaven’s sake you y’all are acting like I’m naming these kids Starlord and Texas Ranger! I just happen to like matchy names for twins but I have other ideas too. I didn’t make these names up. They have meaning, they aren’t "tacky" like Kameryn and whatever the heck else kids are named these days.

I know too many Kiannas so that’s out.
I don’t like Eliora
Zora means [removed] in Spanish
Esme and Evelina aren’t my taste.

I love the other ideas though.

I wouldn’t do matchy names.

Simone & Daphne
Audrina & Danica "Audrey & Dani or Nikki"
Nova & Willow
Zara & Esme
Cassia & Amira
Angelica & Viviana "Angie & Vivi"
Calliope & Seraphina "Callie & Sera"
Arabella & Tatiana "Ari & Tia"
Kiana & Myla
Rhiannon & Rosalind "Annie & Rosie"
Jacqueline & Genevieve "Jackie & Ginny or Evie"
Amaya & Camilla "Maya & Cami or Milly"
Jesilyn & Desirae nn Jessie & Desi"

I think they would work better as nicknames. Dionne nn Dioni and Dominique nn Domini. That way if they don’t like matchy they have other alternatives to fall back on.

I like these suggestions, thanks! -Noa

Joni and Jocelyn (Jo and Jossie)
Loretta and Erianna (Eri and Etta)
Meredith and Deliah(Eda and Dee)
Beatrix and Arabella (Bea and Bella)
Tamsin and Victorie (Tammy and Torie)
Isadora and Dominique (Dora and Dominy)
Samara and Marcelline (Mara and Marcy)

I think you’re confusing Zora with ’zorra’. The first is pronounced with a Z sound at the beginning and an English r in the middle. The second, which literally means ’female fox’ in Spanish but is also a slang term for ’cheap prostitute’, is prononced with an S sound at the beginning and a trilled R in the middle. Very different pronunciations if you know your Spanish.
