How closely should twin names match?
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 Elliana loses a lot of points here.
Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of Elliana?
Twins share a surname and a birthday, so on forms the first initial is often one way to distinguish their records. A twin of Elliana whose name also starts with "E" can be harder to distinguish from Elliana on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "E".
