If you get to name them, I would suggest considering names of Greek origin to represent that part of the children's history. Internationally adopted children lose a lot of their birth culture when they are adopted so I think it's a nice way of preserving that part of their heritage.
If you look at baby name Web sites, you'll find lots of Greek names that are also common in the US (if you don't want the child to have a "weird" name). There are also many less-common-in-the-US names, if you'd like something more unique.
I'm not sure how the adoption process works in Greece, but if the children are named before you adopt them, I'd consider making their original names part of their full names (maybe a middle name?) because it is "theirs" and part of their history.
By the way, congratulations on your upcoming adoptions!

OK, this is long, but probably could be helpful (or at least I hope it will be)
HERE IS MY FAVORITE:
Katherine--- or greek origin meaning "each of the two" which, in my opinion, is perfect for a twin
Aidan and Nadia
Aidan is Nadia in reverse.
Atarah and Stephen
Both names mean "crown", but Atarah is Hebrew and Stephen is Greek.
Brendan and Sarah
Brendan means "prince" in Irish while Sarah means "princess" in Hebrew.
Dorcas and Tabitha
Both names mean "gazelle", but Dorcas is Greek and Tabitha is Aramaic. In the New Testament the names refer to the same person (Acts 9:36).
Ezra and Ophelia
Both mean "help", but Ezra is Hebrew and Ophelia is Greek.
Ira and Ria
The names are anagrams of each other.
Irene and Salome
Both names mean "peace", but Irene is Greek and Salome is Hebrew.
Johan and Jonah
The names are anagrams of each other.
Reva and Vera
The names are anagrams of each other.
Here are my favorite greek names:
Alexandra (my name!) helper and defender of mankind
Anastasia- Latinized form of the Greek name Αναστασιος (Anastasios) which meant "resurrection" from Greek αναστασις (anastasis) (composed of the elements ανα (ana) "up" and στασις (stasis) "standing").
Elleni/Elene- From the Greek ‘Ελενη (Helene), probably from the Greek ‘ελενη (helene) "torch" or "corposant", or possibly from σεληνη (selene) "moon".
Katina- connected to katherine
Sara- princess
Sophia- "wisdom" in greek
Yianni- greek form of john
Zoe- "life" in greek
HERE ARE SOME DON'TS:
Reagan and Kennedy
Mona and Lisa
Raine and Storm
Bonnie and Clyde
Harry and Hermione
Barbara and Kenneth (clue: dolls)
Rhyming names may seem hilarious as you peruse the baby book, but when Tina and Dina grow older, they may not appreciate the silliness.
TIPS:
Find the common thread. Twin baby names can come from family heritage, classic literature or an important life event. For example, if you have two cousins you grew up with, their names might be suitable for twin babies. Or, if you had two wonderful grandmothers, it might be an honor to name twin daughters after them.
Strike a compromise. If you and your spouse can't decide on names for the twins, perhaps you can each name a baby. Make sure both of you can live with your choices.
More unusual methods could be using themes to match up the names. One possible theme is geographical names such as Paris and London. You could use biblical names such as Samuel and Mary or names from Greek and Roman mythology, for instance Helen and Athena.
GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS!

Use any names you want, use old family names if you like. Iris, Maria, Elizabeth are some of my favorite girl names....Michael, Anthony, Gregory are some of my favorite boy names. You can always use a cute nick name after you name them. I know a girl, Elisabeth Katrina with the nickname Lisy. I like that, it's different! (She was adopted. Her last name begins with G. Her initials are EKG-- her adopted dad said they did that on purpose because she is his heart beat.)
