Favourite twin themed names

I know people are against this and I get they're individual people. I'm not pregnant with twins. I just came across twins called Aurora and Celeste and really liked the connection between the names. Anyone got or come across twin names with a themed connection?

Really really dislike matchy-may by twin names (I have twins). See Twins Trust as to why it is so damaging.

We have Violet and Daisy. Completely unintentional too. Born 10 weeks early so we needed a name last minute and DP loved Daisy! She was Eliza my whole pregnancy and definitely did not look like one. Whoops

I'm having twins and won't have matching names. They're two separate people with two separate identities.

I really dislike the matching names.

They need separate identities esp if genetically identical. see also not calling them “the twins” ever at all, ever, ever. Make sure they have a cake each on their birthday, singing happy birthday to them separately and alternating each year who is sung to first, no presents for both of them unless they can use it together (climbing frame etc). No matchy clothing. Let one be invited and go to a
party alone- unless they’re conjoined they
dont need to go everywhere together. See also separate classes at school and encouraging separate friends.

See so many twins dressed the same, with matchy names who are treated as two halves of a whole not as separate people. Esp awful when they aren’t even identical twins and it’s just the parents being attention seeking.

Matching clothes is fine but only if you would dress two siblings the same anyway.

I’ve known a Shaun and Shauna at the toddler group I used to go to.

I’d have Aster and Cosmo.

Are "dawn" and "heavenly" a theme?
