Reading the scores
Read the number as "how well this goes with Lennon", not "how good this sibling name is". Style, length, first letter and sound all feed into it, and rhyming pulls it down hard. 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. Lennon with Ellis or Delaney does that.

Common questions
What names go well with Lennon for a sibling?
For a brother: Ellis, Brody, Desmond, Knox.
For a sister: Delaney, Sloane, Ellis, Mackenzie. These share Lennon's style and level of familiarity without rhyming or starting with the same letter.
Should a sibling name match Lennon?
It should feel like it belongs to the same family as Lennon, not like a matching set. That means a shared era or style — Lennon reads as modern and musical, so lean that way — but a different starting sound and ending. Names that rhyme with Lennon or also start with "L" get fewer points here.
Does Lennon need a sibling name of the same origin?
It helps but is not required. Another Irish name (like Lennon) gets a small scoring bonus because shared roots read as deliberate, but a strong style match with Lennon matters more either way.
How is the match score for Lennon worked out?
Each name is checked against Lennon: a shared style and era counts the most, then how close the two are in popularity, then points come off for rhyming with Lennon, sharing its "L" start, or ending on the same sound. Full detail on the NamePairings how-we-score page.
