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 (Banks 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 Banks?
