How closely should twin names match?
Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of George can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with George, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.
Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of George?
A lot of paperwork, from class lists to doctor's files, shows only a first initial and a surname. A twin of George whose name also starts with "G" can be harder to distinguish from George on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "G".
