I don't know why people think that twins should have "twin names". It's just weird imo. Use the two names you like the best. That's what I would do. Being a twin myself I know that you will be paired with your twin enough as it is. You don't need almost identical names as well.
ETA: I would name my twins
Ellen and
August,
Ellen and
Astrid or
August and
Isidore. I think that they are great names for siblings and twins and they are also my favorite names. They all have the same style and feeling imo and there's no need to overthink names just because it is twins you're naming.
