Common questions
What twin name goes with Ivy?
Matched same-sex options: Daisy, Hazel, Ruby, Nora.
For a boy twin: Theo, Wesley, Silas, Leo. They share Ivy's general style but each keeps its own sound. 18 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Ivy.
Should twin names match more than sibling names?
Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Ivy can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Ivy, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.
Should Ivy'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 Ivy whose name also starts with "I" can be harder to distinguish from Ivy on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "I".
What are these scores based on?
Ivy's rank and the ranks of the twin names above come from US Social Security Administration records; how well each pairs with Ivy on style, length and sound is scored by NamePairings — see the how-we-score page.
