Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of Harper?
School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Harper whose name also starts with "H" can be harder to distinguish from Harper on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "H".
