For a girl twin: Claire, Nora, Leah, Ava. Each one sits well next to Jack without echoing it. 10 of the 20 names on this page have the same 1-syllable length as Jack.

How closely should twin names match?

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