Currently 16 weeks with twins. Don’t know the sexes yet. Need some inspiration. What would you call yours?

I think it's nice to have similar style names as in both traditional, both nature names, both ultra modern etc, but nothing cutesy or twee with the same first letter or rhyming, or after cliche tv characters like Rosie and Jim or Bill and Ben etc.
They are twins but they are also individuals.

I have twins and know lots of families with twins (due to being in a multiple births group). Please, please, please don't name them something cutesy. Pick two unrelated names that you like.

This. (Also have twins.) Avoid rhyming or alliteration.
