I enjoyed the sarcasm that this play on the words using a pun conveyed.
Or am I reading to much into it?
In my opinion, OP, it would be better to give the twins separate (less similar names). Trust me, they would thank you for it I am sure.
Nah, just Pete and Pete! I SO want to see someone name their kids based on that awesome show!
How about twin names that don't start with the same letter, but still match?
Like music names: Harmony and Melody (or Cadence, Carol, Belle)
Jewels: Jade and Amber (or Crystal)
Seasons: Summer and Autumn
Months: May and June (or April)
Flowers: Heather and Jasmine (or Violet, Rose, Lily, etc.)
Colors: Hazel and Scarlet (or Sienna, Jade, Violet, etc.)
Nouns: Hope and Destiny (or Faith, Grace, Mercy)
Opposites: Dawn and Luna, Ashe and Raine, Terra and Aria
You said no jen etc but then list Jenifer as an option? Correct me if I'm wrong but Jen is often an abbreviation of Jennifer.
I wouldn't give them matching names. I have a twin sister, and we're not identical, and our names don't match whatsoever, but people still mix us up. Having matchy names will only worsen the confusion.
She sells seashells ... enough with the alliteration. Give them separate, distinguishable names. They'll be sharing enough together all their lives - what you can do is give them the space to have their own separate identities starting with names. Oh and don't dress them alike.
If you really really want to keep this similar-name thing going, how about Emma & Anna, Abigail & Isabella?
Or theme-y?
Grace & Hope, Savannah & Skye, Ruby & Jade?
I would name them something different but with meaning. Something that wouldn't get them teased.

Amaterasu (Amaterasu is the Japanese Goddess of the Sun and of the Universe.)
Nüwa (Nüwa is a Chinese Goddess known for creating mankind and repairing the wall of heaven.)
Kaguya (Princess Kaguya is the main character in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, the oldest folk tale in Japan.)
Parvati (Parvati is a Hindu Goddess and the second consort of Shiva.)
Lakshmi (Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess of wealth, prosperity, fortune, and the embodiment of beauty. She is Vishnu's consort.)
Gaia (Gaia is the ancient Greek Goddess of the earth.)
Aoide or Aoede (She was one of the Greek Muses, the Muse of Song.)
Nyx (Nyx is the Greek Goddess of the night.)
Leto (She was the daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe. She was the mother of Apollo and Artemis.)
Aphrodite (The Greek Goddess of Love and Beauty.)
Artemis (Greek Goddess of the hunt, forest and hills.)
Athena (Greek Goddess of: wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.)
Andromeda (Daughter of a Aethiopian kind in greek mythology. She was made sacrifice to the sea monster Cetus due to her mother's bragging and was saved by the hero, Perseus, who later became her husband. Andromeda is also the name of a constellation and the Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy and the largest galaxy in the Local Group which also contains the Milky Way, Triangulum Galaxy, and about 30 other smaller galaxies.)
Rhiannon (She is a figure in Welsh Mythology. There's also a Fleetwood Mac song entitled after her.)
Étaín (She is a heroine in Irish Mythology and there are a few other spelling variations to her name like Edain.)
Sól (Old Norse for Sun and proposed by scholars to be a Goddess.)
Pele (Pele is the Hawaiian Goddess of fire, lightening, wind and volcanoes.)
Sedna (Sedna is the Inuit Goddess of the sea. In Astronomy, Sedna is a trans-Neptunian object. Some Astronomers consider it to be a Dwarf Planet while others do not.
At least, I wasn't suggesting that she name them: Vagina or Shithead (Yes, children have actually been named these). These names are interesting and aren't dated. As long as the parent gets the pronunciation and spelling right it should be fine. Of course, I wasn't saying that they should only pick what's on the list, I just going them some ideas.
Most of those are ugly names in my opinion. Sorry. I am not trolling you but this is my true opinion. What about Channing and Bailey?
Mando is completely right. Too often twins are used as the parents' playthings, to be given matching names and matching clothes and matching everything. They need separate identities. You could still use one of myownopinions's suggestions if your friend really wants to give them similar names, but definitely don't use alliterative ones.
Be mindful of the names themselves, too. Kids with names that demonstrate the simple rules of language, like an "e" at the end changing the vowel sound, have been shown to learn the English language more quickly than their peers with names such as Chrystal (has an unusual y sound and breaks the ch rule) or any names with apostrophes (which could lead to difficulty distinguishing your and you're, which people have enough trouble with already). Few people think about this when naming their child, and the ones who do often think the opposite, that having unusual names will help them understand that the English language is full of exceptions. But the numbers don't lie.
I like some of the commented suggestions. Your options are too common and overused.
If they were twin boys, I would say Techno and Gizmo,
but since they're girls how about Terra and Tina. Meaning 'Earth' and 'river' respectively.
To prevent confusion and support uniqueness, I would not name a set of twins with names that sound alike nor both begin with the same letter.

Girl names are the worst in my opinion lol, I hope I have a boy first cause I can't think of any girl names I would want for my kids, but I like a lot of boy names.
Well, for ultra-modern, the trend seems to be to pick a place name like Brittany or Chelsea and then spell it differently, i.e. Britney and Chelsy. Places could be chosen that haven't yet been subject to this and if it starts a trend, what's more modern than being at the very head of a trend?
With this in mind, perhaps they could be called Honnalooloo and Bayjing.
Because you were red, I thought you were Dom180 for a second. My brain needs to slow down a bit this morning...
Heh! I confused myself with bananaface and dom180 yesterday. I wonder what it is with the English and redness. Either way, I'm yellow today and in the Mando camp now. Although I think smartasscookie used to be yellow too, but then she turned green. It's so weird how we get used to people's colours.
Yeah, Mando has been yellow for a long time I think? Though, I seem to want to think he was blue at one time? Yeah, I like smartasscookie as green :)
Indeed we do get used to people's colors. I've been green on here since the beginning, and people would probably freak if I changed colors one day. I have to wait now though, because they might be expecting it.
