Names for twins

Ok, just a quick poll. I am currently 33 weeks with twin boys. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in psychology, so I understand the importance of making sure that the boys are individuals, but I also don't want two names that don't match at all- I think it just seems strange. That's one of my quirks I guess. I think that being twins is also unique, and I want to strike a balance. I do not plan on dressing alike, etc., but I do think their names should match in some way. At first we were going with the same first letter, but now the second name we chose has been feeling not right for a few weeks, so I am on the hunt again. Dh is no help- he vetoes practically EVERYTHING so I have to really try hard, knowing his preferences and mine. What about rhyming names? Here were my thoughts, tell me what you all think-
Khael (pronounced Ky-El is an Incan name, my husband's heritage. No negotiations on this one)
So I thought maybe
Zhael (pronounced Zy-El) might be kind of fun. I think it looks and sounds cool, as I don't want a name that sounds too feminine or nerdy, LOL!  But would it be strange to have them rhyming? Thoughts would be great!

I think the names are great on their own, but I am not a fan of rhyming twin names. I know everyone is different, but I'm not a fan of the rhyming. I would tell DH that he better stop vetoing all your ideas unless he's gonna start coming up with his own! Good luck with this. It's tough enough to find the right name for 1 baby, let alone 2.

I don't have any great ideas, but I don't care for the rhyming names either.

I have a hard time coming up with boy names anyway, let alone two!! LOL

GOOD LUCK!

I like it. I think that some rhyming names can be silly but those you picked out are unique and it sounds nice to me.

Is ther another Incan name you can choose? I think that would bea  really cool link ... non-rhyming names, with the same roots!

IMHO- I think you are going to get a lot of mis-pronuncing (of both), how did you say your name and how do you spell that?

Just my 2 cents.

  I was all excited then I thought, haven't I seen this post before.   Anyway, sounds like you have the names already picked out.  Maybe use a grandfather's name somewhere in there to mix things up a bit.  Good luck!

I was the complete opposite when coming up with the names for the triplets, I wanted names that where totally diffrent so that no one could ever get them confused. The only link that my names have is that they are all names from the show Six Feet Under (which we didn't really do on purpous LOL) and they are classic, biblical names.
