Compare BirdsOfAFeather and LookalikeLovers, where other forms of similarities are used to emphasize the couple's compatibility. See also ThemeTwinNaming, where the ThemeNaming are applied to a pair of twin siblings rather than lovers. This trope may also lead to FamilyThemeNaming if the couple eventually [[BabiesEverAfter have children]] whose name follow the same theme.

So your character has found their OneTrueLove. They have gone through the usual FallingInLoveMontage. They have overcome the OfficialCoupleOrdealSyndrome to get, and stay, together. They complement each other--whether by their [[BirdsOfAFeather similarities]] or [[OppositesAttract differences]]--in almost every way. So how do you hammer in the point even further that these two are absolutely meant to be together? Why, give them names that are parallels to one another, of course.

* ''LightNovel/DotHackAIBuster'' has Albireo and Hokuto, both of whom have {{stellar name}}s (Albireo is a star system of the Cygnus constellation, while Hokuto is Japanese for the North Star). Hokuto enters Albireo's life partially via blackmail and becomes his first and only party member throughout his history of playing The World. They agree to meet offline after Albireo discovers Hokuto's HiddenDepths, and the story's ending implies that they'd end up together. Their real names, Kazushi Watarai and Haruka Mizuhara, don't match, however.
