I am having twins in a couple months and one is a girl and one is a boy and I do not have any clue as to what to name them. Should I have their names rhyme or start with the same letter or start with a vowel? I need help, please help me out.

I thought I would chime in with my two cents. My mom had twins a girl/boy set. That was back in the 1960's and she named them Judy and Johnny. First letter and last the same and it worked fine.
Since then my own child has grown up and he has a 27 months old son and a 14 month old daughter and even though they are not twins he wanted them to have that closeness that children named alike have but he also is a modern day thinker and wanted individuality. So he named his son, Pharaoh and his daughter Egypt. Similar yet individual , different enough that it doesn't sound like hat, pat, sat when you say them. (Although at first people are amazed that he would name them that but they are beginning to adjust.) Just the other day i heard of another little girl near by named Egypt. So, long story short name them whatever makes you happy and you think will be best for them in the years ahead. Let's face it most of us hated our names growing up anyway. How many Dylans and Kayla's can a teacher keep straight? One thing for sure you will have your hands full and your heart with love also. I wish you all the best.

how about choosing two people in your family, a man and a woman who have, in some way, positively affected you. give each of your children their names or derivitives of their names to commemorate your relationship with those two individuals. twins names do not have to "match."

Alexander James and Sophia Isabelle would make a lovely combo.

I would name the girl Kim and the boy Kevin or whatever but sometimes people do get them mixed up because their names sound the same.

I would say you should name them Luke and Leia. It would be awesome! they can go to star wars conventions! Halloween will be fun!
or...
they will hate star wars and hate you for naming them that. haha either way i think it would be fun to name them after the most well known twins in the galaxy!

My SIL has twins, a boy and a girl. She feels very strongly about giving them their own identities. She even tells everyone not to call them twins. A little far fetched, I believe, but to each his own. With all that said, she's still dressed them in matching outfits from time to time and even coordinated their costumes for Halloween. Their names are very different, however, which I agree w/. It's all cute when they're younger, but as they grow, they're going to want their own identities. So let them be their own person. I think that's really important for their future. I'm sure they'll always be close growing up which is also great too.
