Reading the scores
The number by each middle name is how well it fits Kohen — roughly 5 to 99, higher is better. It rates the pairing, not the name on its own. How the score works.
Building a name that flows
Say the full name out loud, three times, at normal speed. The ones that pass that test share two things: the first name and the middle name have a different number of syllables, and they do not end and start on the same sound. Kohen pairs well with Emerson, Elliot, Anakin for that reason.
Common questions
What are good middle names for Kohen?
The top picks are Emerson, Elliot, Anakin, Alakai, Atharva. Each one is a different length or sound from Kohen, so the two names do not run together when you say them.
Should the middle name for Kohen be short or long?
Kohen has 2 syllables. A three-syllable middle name (Emerson, Elliot, Anakin) makes the whole name feel longer and more formal. Match it to your last name: a short last name goes with a longer middle name, and the other way around.
What initials should you avoid with Kohen?
Write the three initials out together — first, middle, last — before you decide, and check they do not spell a word. A middle name starting with "K" repeats Kohen's own first letter, which some parents like and others avoid.
Where does this data come from?
Kohen's popularity and the popularity of every name paired with it come from US Social Security Administration public records. How well each one fits Kohen is scored by NamePairings — the method is on the how-we-score page.
