Common questions

What twin name goes with Arya?

Matched same-sex options: Zoey, Remi, Kali, Kira.
For a boy twin: Kylo, Kai, Cole, Bodhi. Each one sits well next to Arya without echoing it. 18 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Arya.

How closely should twin names match?

Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Arya can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Arya, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.

Should Arya's twin have a different first letter?

School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Arya whose name also starts with "A" can be harder to distinguish from Arya 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 Arya 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.
