* Conjoined twins Satin and Chenille in ''Trolls'' are themed, as they're both fashion designers.

* Conjoined twins Satin and Chenille in ''WesternAnimation/Trolls'' are themed, as they're both fashion designers.

* Kyon of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' calls Mikuru's ''fake'' twin "Michiru", playing off this trope.

* In ''Manga/HozukisCoolheadedness'': When Hozuki decide to give names to the ZashikiWarashi twins, he come up with Ichiko and Niko. This basically mean [[NumericalThemeNaming "girl 1" and "girl two"]]. Karauri think this isn't a very good choice of name, but they like it and thus decide to go with it.

* The twin maids in ''LightNovel/ReZero'' are named Ram and Rem.

* ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' has sisters Shōko and Shūko, although they, too, are not twins -- Shuuko is older. This was lampshaded by their English voice actresses in the audio commentary, who wondered what kind of cruel parents their characters had.

* Momiji and Kaede of ''Manga/BlueSeed'' are both named after words for "Maple".

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'':
** Mia and Tia, the Miata twins from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''.

* Shahar (or Shazar) and Shalim from the PSP version of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed''.

* In ''Angela Nicely'', a ''Literature/DirtyBertie'' spinoff, there are the Payne twins Eileen and Myleen.

The names will flow together like water to the point that the characters will always be [[TheDividual mentioned together]] like Phil and Lil from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''; as a result, this trope very common with SingleMindedTwins.

* This sometimes happens in MagicalGirl anime where the main character as two sidekicks/assistants/what have you. Examples include Posi and Nega[[note]]If you don't get it, add "-tive" to their names.[[/note]] from ''Anime/CreamyMamiTheMagicAngel'' and Pigu and Mogu from ''Anime/MagicalStageFancyLala'' (renamed Pog and Mog in the English dub, despite never being seen on TV).

* While the protagonists of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' are the same person from different universes rather than twins, the male protagonist’s CanonName is Ma'''koto''' while the female protagonist’s is '''Koto'''ne. Played with in that the female protagonist’s name comes from the stage play adaptation, where [[AdaptationNameChange the male protagonist is named Sakuya]].

** Kasumi and Sumire from ''[[UpdatedReRelease Persona 5 Royal]]'' also count, as both their names contain Sumi written in hiragana, although by the time the game takes place [[spoiler:Kasumi is dead and Sumire is living under her sister's identity]].

* Fraternal twin poodles Ootsie and Bootsie from ‘’WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter’’.

* Israel has not one, [[NamesTheSame but three]] sets of triplets named [[http://www.israel21c.org/three-sets-of-rhyming-triplets/ Dor, Or and Mor]].

* Solid and Liquid Snake (of ''VideoGame/MetalGear''), 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 [[UrbanLegendOfZelda 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 SeparatedAtBirth twin. See the Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} article [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter List of states of matter]] for a pretty conclusive list. Plasma Snake? Supercritical Fluid Snake? Colloid Snake? Electron-degenerate Matter Snake? [[http://gigaville.com/comic.php?id=47 Bose-Einsteinium Condensate Snake]]? [[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' had fraternal twin babies [=BeBe=] and [=CeCe=], which not only rhyme, but are a reference to Gospel music artists [=BeBe and CeCe=] Winans, a brother and sister duet group.

** Kept twins Siya and Sara have another pair of similar names.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' has main character Lina and her ([[TheGhost never-appearing]]) older sister Luna.

* Gouken (Strong Fist) and Gouki (Strong Demon) from the ''StreetFighter'' series, although this is LostInTranslation due to the latter becoming "Akuma" in the international versions.
