Common questions
What twin name goes with Hudson?
Matched same-sex options: Archer, Wyatt, Dylan, Liam.
For a girl twin: Kinsley, Lily, Ivy, Willow. These scored highest for a shared feel with Hudson and no rhyme. 19 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Hudson.
Should twin names match more than sibling names?
A little. Twins are introduced together for life, so names that sound alike and share a style work well — but names that rhyme (Hudson with a near-rhyme) sound like a comedy act, so they get marked down hard here.
Why avoid two names starting with "H" for twins?
A lot of paperwork, from class lists to doctor's files, shows only a first initial and a surname. A twin of Hudson whose name also starts with "H" can be harder to distinguish from Hudson on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "H".
Where do these rankings come from?
Ranks for Hudson and each twin name are taken from US Social Security Administration records. How well each name goes with Hudson is our own score, explained on the how-we-score page.
