Reading the scores

Scores run about 5 to 99 and rank how well each sibling name pairs with Adriana — a shared style lifts it, a rhyme or a shared first letter drops it. How the score works.

What makes a sibling set work

The test is calling both names across a park. They need to start with different sounds so they do not blur together, be about equally well-known so one does not feel like an afterthought, and share a style so they sound like a pair you picked on purpose. Adriana with Nicholas or Emerson does that.
