How closely should twin names match?
Somewhat more, yes. Twins are said together far more often than other siblings, so a shared style and length suit them. Rhyme is the line not to cross: a near-rhyme for Amara loses a lot of points here.
Should Amara's twin have a different first letter?
School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Amara whose name also starts with "A" can be harder to distinguish from Amara on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "A".
Where does the data come from?
Ranks for Amara and each twin name are taken from US Social Security Administration records. How well each name goes with Amara is our own score, explained on the how-we-score page.
