Reading the scores
Each score says how naturally that sibling name sits next to Amir: high 80s and up is a match on style, first letter and sound; the 60s and below flag a rhyme, a clash, or a big gap in popularity. 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. Amir with Easton or Brooklyn does that.
