Should twin names match more than sibling names?
A little. Twins are introduced together for life, so names that sound alike and share a style work well — but names that rhyme (Atticus with a near-rhyme) sound like a comedy act, so they get marked down hard here.
Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of Atticus?
School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Atticus whose name also starts with "A" gets mixed up with Atticus on paper for years, so the twin score rewards a different first letter.
