I’ve been looking for unique names that fit well with each other but aren’t too similar and I feel that these go perfectly. Thoughts?

Awesome names! And sounds so perfect together for your twin girls. I agree they are not “unique” - Heidi is more unusual than Phoebe, but just gorgeous names. I love Heidi particularly.

Love them , congratulations to you.

I don't think they go at all. Phoebe goes back to the ancient Greek, and Heidi can only refer to the character in the Swiss children's story -and her name is Adelheid anyway. So one's a full classic name from down the ages, and the other is a specific diminutive from a children's book. I'd feel very shortchanged if I was called Heidi.

Lovely, I think they go well together too

Don't like Phoebe as it reminds me of feeble. Don't like Heidi either too much like hi de hi.
Harriet and Chloe?

Lovely, and they do work together.

If you wanted to dodge the ‘ee’ sound at the end of both, I love from previous posts:
Heidi and Ellen
Heidi and Orla
Or you could have two 19th century literary names:
Heidi and Lorna

But these are just names I love (they’re all on my list except Heidi because our surname kills that one!). If you love Phoebe, go for it!

What about Heidi and Maddie?

I think they go really well together, although phoebe is a lot more popular than heidi
