Common questions

What twin name goes with Austin?

Matched same-sex options: Marcus, Maxwell, Erick, Damien.
For a girl twin: Frances, Lauren, Lillian, Laura. These scored highest for a shared feel with Austin and no rhyme. All 20 of them match Austin's 2-syllable length.

Do twin names need to match more closely than sibling names?

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 Austin loses a lot of points here.

Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of Austin?

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

Ranks for Austin and each twin name are taken from US Social Security Administration records. How well each name goes with Austin is our own score, explained on the how-we-score page.
