Matched same-sex options: Linus, Wesley, Milo, Robert.
For a girl twin: Norah, Clara, Alma, Lillian. They share Emmett's general style but each keeps its own sound. All 20 of them match Emmett's 2-syllable length.
Should twin names match more than sibling names?
Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Emmett can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Emmett, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.
Should Emmett's twin have a different first letter?
A lot of paperwork, from class lists to doctor's files, shows only a first initial and a surname. A twin of Emmett whose name also starts with "E" can be harder to distinguish from Emmett on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "E".
