I know we recently had a similar thread, but we have some kittens that will be joining us in a couple weeks and we are not decided on names. They are brothers and so we are leaning towards famous duo names, but open to suggestions.
Both of us love video games and our top choice so far is Cloud (for the silver one) and Sephiroth, but I'm thinking Sephiroth might be a bit long for a cat name.
And now for some inspiring pictures!
May the wombat of happiness snuffle through your underbrush.
Bender and Fry
Hedwig, Crookshanks, and/or Scabbers
Ratchet and Clank
Banjo and Kazooie
Crash and Sly
Jak and Daxter
Joe and Mac (am I the only one who played it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_%26_Mac )
Sora and Riku
Kirby and Sonic (just because the names seem to go together well)
I like Cloud/Zach or other light/dark ones like Luke/Darth.
Keep in mind that most pet names, if they are not already one syllable, will probably get shortened to one syllable over time. So, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern will probably become Rosey and Guildy or something like that. Holmes and Moriarity might become Holmes/Mo. At least that's been my experience.

This is why I wasn't so sure about Cloud and Sephiroth, because there is no good way to shorten that. There are some great suggestions here! Keep em' coming and help us come to a decision.
Also, in our computer/gaming room we are making a small mario mural and some mario related cat furniture in the way of the green pipes (in carpet) and cubes.

I used to own two cats who were brothers named Mario (black and white) and Luigi (dark gray tabby; as a toddler, I thought he was greenish gray and would draw him with a green crayon)--so, that's always an option.
Maybe Bowser and Boo? I really do think the name Boo is cute
Also, this is just personal taste, but I love names that have lots of potential fun nicknames. For example: My roommate has a big gray kitty with white socks. So her name is Socks - sorta boring. But her nicknames! We call her Socko, Miss Socko, Sockster, Sockette, Socksee... everything.
And maybe you could go with Sephiroth and just abbreviate to Seph? That might sound awkward - like you're trying to say Seth but you have a weird lisp - but it could work!
I bet everyone who gives their cat a fancy name like "Sephiroth" eventually ends up calling it some daft cat name like Mr Fuzz-Fuzz, because it is just impossible to take a creature very seriously that spends hours licking its own bottom.

As a quick thought, in relation to your sig, the second kitten looks kinda like a Wombat... name idea?!
*ahem*
I got a "Raven" vibe from the second kitty, myself.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to meet them just yet, but I have seen many other pictures and I have a guess to personality.
The silver seems like he is very curious and kind, likes to stalk and pounce but not very aggressive towards non-toys.
The smokey one definitely seems like he has a much more assertive attitude, he will go get what he wants.
Fred & Barney
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern
Abbott & Costello
Fry & Laurie
Wooster & Jeeves
e: How could I forget Hall & Oates?
I may be still thinking about breakfast, but I do like those names.
I also have a blog!
If you want some twin names, Romulus and Remus as previously mentioned.
Jacob and Wilhem, best known as The Brothers Grimm.
This.
Or Reno and Rude.
Do... Re... Mi... So... Fa.... Do... Re.... Do...
Forget it...
Leonard and Nemoy
Revan and Malak (or Revan and Bastila :winky: if one is female)
Twitter
Guybrush and LeChuck.
Holmes and Moriarty.
Luke and Darth.
Dumbledore and Voldemort.
Bucho and Benito.
Bond and Blofeld.
Better yet, Ace and Gary!

It's simple, but it works for our little kitten boys
Hopeless Gamer
Toe Jam and Earl
Kane and lynch
Manny and glottis (grim fandango)]
Tatl and Tael (the fairies in majoras mask)
Oh.. mario related, You could name one Koopa and the other Troopa, though technically not a duo.
Boo and bob-omb for the black and white
Name them Ebony and Ivory. But make sure to name the black one Ivory.
Then you get to call people racist for making assumptions when you tell them their names.

That's what we named ours... But seeing as they probably don't run in the same social circles as your kittens - there shouldn't be any embarrassment.
It's a fairly obscure reference that works IMO, because Cloud and Sephy just screams 4chan or something to me.
EDIT: Oh also L'Chaim and Chutzpah, but that would be hard for some people for I would only let them pronounce it correctly, with the, uhh... phlegm.
This is full of win and awesome. Do this.
