Common questions

What twin name goes with Jose?

Matched same-sex options: Luis, Luke, Charles, Andre.
For a girl twin: Faith, Amy, Grace, Claire. Each one sits well next to Jose without echoing it. 16 of the 20 names on this page have the same 1-syllable length as Jose.

Do twin names need to match more closely than sibling names?

Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Jose can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Jose, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.

Why avoid two names starting with "J" for twins?

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

Where does the data come from?

The popularity ranks for Jose and each twin name are from US Social Security Administration records. The pairing score is our own, based on style, length, first letter and sound — the how-we-score page walks through it.
