Yes, help name them! vs. No, let the parents do it.

I posted a few months ago but still haven’t decided anything. I’ve been going through the process of being an egg donor for a family. The family has asked me to help them name the babies (learned they were twins soon after I posed here) either by giving them a list a names I like or by choosing the middle name. While I’m honored they asked me, part of our agreement includes me not being in the children’s lives. I’m cautious to offer names because I won’t be in the children’s lives and I want the parents to know that the children truly are theirs. At the same time, I’m honored they would ask me to help. I’ve considered telling them names I like on their list as a compromise. I want the parents to know that these are not my children and naming them seems to make that area more grey. Please keep your responses honest but respectful, I’d love more perspectives!

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
