I also wonder if elf twins could be females for I have never seen any mention of twin females in what I have read. Anyone know? Another thing, my friend who is a twin told me that when you are a girl twin you have an 80% chance of having twins. With elves it seems to come from the male side, for Elrond was a twin and he had twins.

No, I don`t believe any of Tolkien`s books mention female Elf twins. I`m sure there were, they just didn`t do anything particularly important, so he didn`t mention them. Women play a much bigger role in The Silmarillion, LotR, ect. than in other fantasy that I have read, though.
