When twins appear in fiction, it's very likely that they will be named to sound like a matched set. Common options are rhyme (Tyler and Skyler), Alliteration (Michael and Mitchel), theme (Dawn and Eve), anagrams (Amy and May) or variants of the same name (Daniel and Danielle). Bonus points if the twins have dissimilar full names but usually go by nicknames which fit this trope, like James and Timothy Possible being known as Jim and Tim. The names will flow together like water to the point that the characters will always be mentioned together like Phil and Lil from Rugrats; as a result, this trope is very common with Single-Minded Twins. Also, a character's Evil Twin will often have the same name as the character, only reversed, e.g. the evil twin of Alfred will be named Derfla. Of course, if the character's name is something like Bob, this leads to some confusion. In Japanese and other syllable-based languages this is especially common, because twins often end up sharing either the first or the final characters of their names. Most definitely Truth in Television. Like most twin tropes, this annoys the hell out of many real-life twins. Child psychologists even advise parents against the practice. It may sound cute for babies, but once they get older, it can impede their development as individuals. A subtrope of Family Theme Naming. |

East of Eden, which draws heavily on the Cain and Abel story from The Bible, first depicts the relationship with two brothers (not twins) named Charles and Adam. When Adam's twin sons are born, he considers actually naming them Cain and Abel, but a neighbor tells him that would be asking for trouble. He goes with Caleb (Cal) and Aaron (Aron) instead. Of course, the relationship repeats anyway. | |

Hikaru's three older brothers are Satoru, Masaru and Kakeru; two sisters are Tarta and Tatra; and Fuu's older sister is named Kuu. And then there's Hikaru's (a name that can translate to "sparkling") dog, Hikari ("light"). | |

The Amane twins from Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story (although Tsukuyo's legitimate surname being Akatsuki due to their parents' divorce) named Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, both written with the kanji of "moon". "Tsukuyo" means "full moonlit night" while Tsukasa is synonymous to "birth of a new moon". Upon meeting as teenagers after being separated as young children, the similarity of their names is one of the things that tips them off to their being siblings. The Yuzuki twins has both Hotori and Rion having "ri" in their names, even though they're not rhyme. |

Fire Emblem: Fraternal twin siblings Eirika and Ephraim of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Julius and Julia of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 seem less like theme naming and more like the parents didn't bother to come up with separate names. In Fire Emblem Fates there's Felicia and Flora. Averted with the other set of twins, Saizo and Kaze. Though, the latter is called Suzukaze in the original Japanese version. So they count there. |

The Baby-Sitters Club: Marilyn and Carolyn Arnold, two of the kids the club members watch. When Abby joins the club, she has an identical twin sister named Anna. This is rather funny, considering the author admitted that Abby and Anna were called Lucy and Ethel in drafts, as naming the twins was the grand prize of a fan contest. There are also twins named Mariah and Miranda in the girls' class at school. Terri and Tammy Barkan, Ricky and Rose Salem, Tasha and Terry Hoyt, Callie and Keith Bates. Averted with the Pike triplets Adam, Byron, and Jordan. There's also an unnnamed set of boy twins in the same grade. |

Thomas & Friends has this in spades: Bill and Ben Donald and Douglas Mighty and Mac. Max and Monty. Averted with Annie and Clarabel. Another aversion with Arry and Bert. Downplayed with the Diesel Works engines: Den and Dart. They're not twins but they often behave like Single-Minded Twins and are almost never seen apart. |

On Jane the Virgin, Petra and Rafael name their twin daughters Elsa and Anna. The theme isn't intentional; when Jane mentions Frozen, Petra doesn't make the connection, and once she does, figures Jane's the only one who will. Once the series had a Time Skip of three years, Elsa now goes by "Ellie" because Petra was annoyed by the Frozen jokes. | |

Camp Lazlo provides an interesting subversion. Of the loon twins, the most commonly referred-to one is "Ping" which makes you think the other's name would be "Pong".

They split their original name when they became two independent ponies. Spike and Thornnote Actually Thornecorvitar are two semi-artificial dragons created through different means. They still shared the same mothers (yes, plural) and were born on the same day. |

Johnny Test: In Susan and Mary Test's case, this trope is averted even though they are identical twins who have similar interests Mr. Black and Mr. White also qualify, even though they clearly are not related and their names do not rhyme, but they are named after the colors of black and white. These could be codenames however as their real names are unknown. |

DuckTales (1987): Huey, Dewey, and Louie, the triplet nephews of Donald Duck and grand-nephews of Scrooge McDuck. The reboot subverts this by revealing their full names are Hubert, Dewford, and Llewellyn. Not that you'll ever see the kids use them. The reboot also introduces the triplets' mother Della, who is Donald's twin sister. |

Solid and Liquid Snake (of Metal Gear), along with their third brother Solidus Snake, are triplets whose military code names reference different states of matter (and their second name, Snake, was taken from their father, who used the code name Naked Snake at one point). This has led to jokes (and more than a few Urban Legends Of Zelda) that there may be a fourth Gas Snake out there somewhere (and knowing Kojima this may very well be possible). note That's not the only suggested name for a hypothetical Separated at Birth twin. See the Wikipedia article List of states of matter for a pretty conclusive list. Plasma Snake? Supercritical Fluid Snake? Colloid Snake? Electron-degenerate Matter Snake? Bose-Einsteinium Condensate Snake? Interestingly enough, Solid and Liquid go by "Snake" and "Liquid", respectively, averting this trope in dialogue at least. Also, this trope is played straight with their birth names, David and Eli, being references to The Bible. |

Magical 12th Graders: Despite not actually being twins, Yeorum and her older sister Gyeowul fit this trope quite neatly. "Gyeowul" means winter and "Yeorum" means summer, so it's often assumed they were born in winter and summer respectively. The truth is that they were both born in December, albeit a year apart. Yeorum was just named to fit Gyeowul's theme. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Dvati are a humanoid race entirely composed of twins. Their names in their own language being The Unpronounceable, they very often adopt these types of names in the Common tongue to interact with non-Dvati — Xephon and Xephat, Lia and Kira, etc. They have, however, a tendency to forget which twin is using which name, and thus they will sometimes switch. | |

The fact that kind, compassionate, but unexpressive Number Seven is named after the lucky number, while brash, violent, and cheerful Number Thirteen is named after the unlucky number is likewise probably not a coincidence. | |

Kim Possible: Kim's younger brothers, the twins Jim and Tim Possible. Their father James Timothy "Jim" Possible has a non-twin brother called Slim. In one episode, mention was made of an ancestor named Mim (short for Miriam). The Possible family got a lot of mileage out of that rhyme scheme. Shego's Super Family Team already has Family Theme Naming with her brothers Hego and Mego, but it gets a bit silly when her other brothers, who are twins, are identified jointly as "Wego." |

Pokémon Black and White introduces the leaders of the Battle Subway, twin brothers Ingo and Emmet. Their Japanese names (Nobori and Kudari, respectively) are derived from the Japanese terms for up-train (上り, nobori) and down-train (下り, kudari). Their English names follow suit: Ingo is from "in-going" (as in an inbound train), and Emmet is a corruption of "emit" (alluding to an outbound train). | |

One Piece: A group of minors characters are five young quintuplet mermaids who are named after Japanese numbers: Ichika, Nika, Sanka, Yonka, and Yonka Two; Usopp swiftly lampshaded how the last sister's name breaks the pattern (It should have been "Goka"). Another group of quadruplets who share the same theme naming are the Vinsmoke brothers, named after numbers in the order they were born: Ichiji, Niji, Sanji and Yonji. Their older sister Reiju follows the same pattern, being named after "zero". Big Mom's biggest single birth was to dectuplets, five boys and five girls. The boys' names were based on numbers with a "New-" prefix (Newichi, Newji, Newsan, Newshi, and Newgo). The girls' names were a little more creative: in keeping with the family food naming theme, one sister was named "Natsumeg", the Japanese word for nutmeg. Since "natsu" is the Japanese word for "summer", her sisters are also named after seasons with a "-meg" suffix: Akimeg, Harumeg, and Furumeg, with Allmeg being used to round the numbers. |

Pokémon Many members of the Twins trainer class in the series use this trope, especially in the Gen II games. Twins Ann & Anne are probably the most extreme example. They also tend to use identical, similar, or complementary Pokémon. Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire has the twin leaders of the Mossdeep Gym, Tate and Liza. Their names when combined together (Liza-Tate) sound like "levitate", which alludes to their specialty in Psychic-types. Also first seen in Ruby and Sapphire are the Pokémon, Plusle and Minun. They are Electric-type rabbits which look very similar to each other and have a positive/negative charge theme, which is reflected in their names. Pokémon Black and White introduces the leaders of the Battle Subway, twin brothers Ingo and Emmet. Their Japanese names (Nobori and Kudari, respectively) are derived from the Japanese terms for up-train (上り, nobori) and down-train (下り, kudari). Their English names follow suit: Ingo is from "in-going" (as in an inbound train), and Emmet is a corruption of "emit" (alluding to an outbound train). |

Blue Seed: Momiji and Kaede are both named after words for "Maple". In Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, the story about Nue has him followed around by two deers whom he calls Momiji and Kaede. Whether it's a Shout-Out to Blue Seed or just a coincidence is unclear (the maple imagery in general does make a few other appearances in the Haruka franchise, along with the more traditional Cherry Blossoms). |

In the sequel to the deliberately campy The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, two characters who had been killed off turn out to have had identical twins. One of them merely shares the last two letters of his dead brother's name, but the other one has exactly the same name. When he's asked whether it ever caused confusion, he explains, "We have different last names." | |

Malazan Book of the Fallen: The series gives us the twins Envy and Spite, both named by their father. The prequel trilogy reveals that they're actually triplets and the third one used to be named Malice. Draconus adds that if there was a fourth one she'd be named Venom. He obviously had preconceived notions about his daughters. Compared to that, the twins Stavi and Storii have very tame theme naming. |

Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia from Critical Role. It's more obvious because they usually go by Vax and Vex, which neither the players nor the DM can ever keep straight. Amusingly, their players are named Liam and Laura, and share a birthday (but in different years), which was why they decided to play twins in the first place. Many new fans assume the actors are related until informed otherwise due to their sibling dynamic in-character and at the table. | |

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch had Kaito and Gackto, both named after popular singers. The anime changed Gackto's name to Gaito in order to play up the connection to Kaito, or maybe just to play down the fact that Gackto has more in common with his namesake than that. There's also the Black Beauty Sisters, Mimi and Sheshe, although "sisters" is just a stage name (possibly so they could get away with public displays of affection in the seven-AM programming block). Although being a pair of enchanted anglerfish, they probably are sisters. The other pair of twins in the series, Caren and Noel, do not match. | |

Splatoon has the Squid Sisters, whose names are always some sort of Pun in different localizations, though they're actually cousins: Their names in Japanese are Aori and Hotaru, which are two species of squid. They're Callie and Marie in English, a pun on calimari. In French, they're Ayo and Oly, based on aioli sauce, which is frequently served with seafood. In Spanish, they're Mar and Tina, meaning "sea" and "tub" respectively. It's also a pun on "Martina", a given Spanish name. In German, they're Aioli (the aforementioned sauce) and Limone ("lemon"), both being popular condiments for seafood. |

House of the Dragon: Two members of the Kingsguard are a pair of twins named Erryk and Arryk Cargyll. Averted with Daemon Targaryen's daughters, Baela and Rhaena, who are twins but have dissimilar names, and the Lannister twins named Jason and Tyland, which seems to be a family tradition considering that another pair of Lannister twins (Jaime and Cersei) from Game of Thrones also have unique names. | |

Redmond and Blutarch in the backstory for Team Fortress 2 just so happens to be the founders of the rivalling companies Reliable Excavation Demolition and Builder's League United, aka RED and BLU. You will also notice that the first three letters of the brothers' names synchronize pretty well with the acronyms for their companies. And now their long lost third-triplet brother, Gray, who grows up to command a machine army. | |

6teen's Clones are named Kirsten, Kristen and Chrissy, though despite looking identical, none of them are actually related. As a side note, the similarity of the former two's names resulted in their voice actresses regularly confusing each other's lines, with a good chunk of these flubs accidently remaining in the final episodes. | |

Super Noobs: Super Noobs has alien warriors Memnock and Zenblock. They play with this trope even more through the names they give to the human disguises they have to use in public to avoid having their identities exposed, which are Bob and Rob. Their nicknames, Mem and Zen are however subverted because the last letters of their nicknames do not really match but come in pretty close. They are also identical to each other, only differing in skin color, teeth, and nose shape but whether they are related to each other or not is debatable Also the titular characters of the fictional game "Candy Mama", which only appears in the series are named Oakie and Doke. |

In Yokoka's Quest, Yin and Yang are twins, named after the concepts of yin and yang. The Poker Gang are quadruplets, named after their respective card suits in French. While we don't know Yokoka's pre-amnesia name, judging from the Moon Clan's pattern of naming after stars, it's likely that she's named after a star in the Orion constellations like her twin brother Mao (Meissa). | |

Also happens in The Chronicles of Narnia, specifically Archenland, which may be connected given C.S. Lewis' and Tolkien's friendship and their influence on each other. Archenland is known for sets of twins with similar names such as Cole and Colin, Cor and Corin, and Dar and Darrin. In The Horse and His Boy, Cor tells Aravis this is an established naming tradition, although he implies that it's for brothers rather than specifically twins. The most famous characters exhibiting this in the books, Cor and Corin, do happen to be twins, though. For attentive readers the trope may actually hint that Corin has a missing older brother prior to the reveal. | |

And of course Rock & Roll from the original. They're not quite twins, as Roll was built a bit later, but it still fits. There's also Crea and Prea (create and pray) from Mega Man Zero, named by Alouette. And Mega Man Battle Network has the Hikari twins, Netto (熱斗) and Saito (彩斗). Both names share a kanji character and are both puns on computer terms - "netto" (�ット) is short for "intaanetto" (インター�ット), Japanese for "Internet", and "saito" (サイト) means "web site".

The Kongo Twins of Eyeshield 21 are named Agon and Unsui, which is all part of a very intricate pun: Kongo-Rikishi are the two guardian statues seen at the entrance of Japanese Buddhist temples. The nicknames for these statues are "Agyo" and "Ungyo". Symbolically, "a" represents birth/beginning since it's the first character of the Sanskrit alphabet and "Un" represents death/ending since it's the last character. Thus referring to something as an "A-Un relationship" is another way of saying it's harmonious and natural. An "a" statue refers to a statue with an open mouth. An "un" statue is one with a closed mouth (usually frowning). Guess which twin is the quiet one and which one's the talker? |

While he only appears in a brief sketch from an early-90s The Earth Day Special, leading to debate on how canon he is, Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters apparently has an identical twin brother named Elon. Literally completely identical. (Both Spengler twins were played by the same actor within the span of a year or so.) Egon does mention having nieces and nephews in the 2009 video game, but doesn't mention Elon or even having a twin outright. | |

In the 1988 comedy Big Business, rich Mrs. Shelton and poor Mrs. Ratliff both happen to give birth to identical female twins in the same hospital. At Mr. Shelton's suggestion, the Shelton twins are named Rose and Sadie, after his two favourite aunts. This is overheard by Mr. Ratliff, who, being unable to think of anything better (the good names apparently were all used up among the already existing Ratliff brood), decides to give his new daughters the same two names. But as an absent-minded nurse managed to mix up the two sets of twins, the end result is that in one actual set of twins (both played by Lily Tomlin) both are called Rose, while those in the other (Bette Midler) are both called Sadie. | |

Marchiano's 12 Sisters in Coyote Ragtime Show. All twelve of them are named after the months of the year (though their relative ages [they're gynoids] are not the same as the order of the months). The three "youngest" sisters are October (Octo), November (Nove), and December (Dece). | |

Gravity Falls: The Original Mystery Twins, Stanley and Stanford. It's Lampshaded that their father was not very creative. In an Inversion of the aforementioned "similar nickname" gag, the former goes by "Stan" while the latter is "Ford." Dipper's real name is never revealed in the show, but Word of God said that it was similar to Mabel's. According to Gravity Falls: Journal 3, it's Mason. |
