Lucy and Alice is a good pair. I know two sets of twins with these names!

Your daughters must be called Erica and Martina.

Your shortlist so far:
Hazel - like it. Don't know any children with this name (bonus?)
Sasha - I know 2 female Sashas. Think it's only make if spelled Sacha.
Etta / Ettie / Effie - Love Etta and Effie. Less keen on Ettie (it's a nn?)
Saskia (Sassie) - Love Saskia. Wouldn't shorted to Sassie
Ivy - Love it. Don't think it's faddy.
Kitty - don't like it, it just makes me think of a cat. I do like Katherine.
Nancy - don't like it
Polly - quite cute
Adelaide - quite like it
Luna - quite like it
Natasha - love it

As pairs, I love -
Natasha and Saskia
Ivy and Etta
Sasha and Effie

Quite a lot of the girl twins I know do have either very rhymey/matching names or have names from a particular culture/country. But the ones I know that might fit your taste are:
Emily and Harriet
Scarlett and Isabella
Beatrice and Hester
Imogen and Laura
Imogen and Nicola

Another fan of Saskia and Natasha, they sound great together

How's the shortlist, OP?! 😊

Congratulations! I hope you get chance to enjoy your pregnancy with everything that’s going on 💕

I think a nice way to link twin names is with a prominent sound that isn’t the initial for both, so they have similarities without being too samey..

.e.g.
Violet & Ivy
Margot & Grace
Dorothy & Eden
Eleanor & Lily

Or through meaning..

.e.g.
Elara & Larissa (both moons)
Eira & Neve (both mean snow)
Verity & Blythe (both virtue names)

Hope all goes well with your pregnancy and delivery x
