For a girl twin: Leah, Sara, Hannah, Mary. Each one sits well next to Angel without echoing it. 17 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Angel.
How closely should twin names match?
Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Angel can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Angel, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.
Should Angel's twin have a different first letter?
School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Angel whose name also starts with "A" can be harder to distinguish from Angel 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?
The popularity ranks for Angel and each twin name are from US Social Security Administration records. The pairing score is our own, based on style, length, first letter and sound — the how-we-score page walks through it.
