Twin Names

Thinking about names for twins (a boy and a girl!) but need opinions or suggestions.
So far we like Atticus and Audrey or Lennon and Marlowe.
Thoughts on which pair of names sounds better?? We also need middle names!

Having the same first initial and the same birthday and the same address can make admin tricky, especially post. Alleviated a little bit here as one would be Miss and one Mr, but it's something I always mention at the Twins Trust preparing for parenthood classes I run.

I don't usually like matchy names for twins but I think that Atticus and Audrey sound quite cool together. They're not particularly matchy other than starting with the same letter but a different sound. Atticus and Audrey both go well with more traditional mns imo e.g.

Audrey Rose
Audrey Catherine
Audrey Louisa
Atticus David
Atticus Daniel
Atticus George

If I had to choose then Atticus and Audrey.

Atticus and Marlowe.

I prefer Lennon and Marlowe too because they are both modern, whereas Atticus and Audrey don't have much in common apart from the initial.

Prefer Lennon and Marlowe

I’d go for Atticus Lennon and Marlowe Audrey. I think Atticus and Marlowe are lovely together.

too close to

I don't like any of them.
Atticus and Audrey too matchy and Lennon and Marlowe a bit to close to Lennon and McCartney.
