For a girl twin: Kendall, Jordyn, Hailey, Hadley. Each one sits well next to Braxton without echoing it. All 20 of them match Braxton's 2-syllable length.
Do twin names need to match more closely than sibling names?
Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Braxton can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Braxton, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.
Why avoid two names starting with "B" for twins?
School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Braxton whose name also starts with "B" can be harder to distinguish from Braxton on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "B".
