Common questions
What twin name goes with Andrew?
Matched same-sex options: Ethan, Caleb, Jared, Michael.
For a girl twin: Mary, Leah, Sara, Rachel. They share Andrew's general style but each keeps its own sound. 19 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Andrew.
Do twin names need to match more closely than sibling names?
Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Andrew can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Andrew, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.
Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of Andrew?
A lot of paperwork, from class lists to doctor's files, shows only a first initial and a surname. A twin of Andrew whose name also starts with "A" can be harder to distinguish from Andrew on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "A".
What are these scores based on?
Andrew's rank and the ranks of the twin names above come from US Social Security Administration records; how well each pairs with Andrew on style, length and sound is scored by NamePairings — see the how-we-score page.
