Common questions
What twin name goes with Lily?
Matched same-sex options: Sophie, Daisy, Hannah, Chloe.
For a boy twin: Wesley, Bennett, Silas, August. Each one sits well next to Lily without echoing it. 19 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Lily.
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 (Lily with a near-rhyme) sound like a comedy act, so they get marked down hard here.
Should Lily's twin have a different first letter?
Twins share a surname and a birthday, so on forms the first initial is often one way to distinguish their records. A twin of Lily whose name also starts with "L" can be harder to distinguish from Lily on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter.
What are these scores based on?
The popularity ranks for Lily 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.
