Common questions

What twin name goes with Luis?

Matched same-sex options: Juan, Jorge, Carlos, Diego.
For a girl twin: Ana, Andrea, Natalia, Adriana. These scored highest for a shared feel with Luis and no rhyme. 9 of the 20 names on this page have the same 1-syllable length as Luis.

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

Somewhat more, yes. Twins are said together far more often than other siblings, so a shared style and length suit them. Rhyme is the line not to cross: a near-rhyme for Luis loses a lot of points here.

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

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

Where does the data come from?

Ranks for Luis and each twin name are taken from US Social Security Administration records. How well each name goes with Luis is our own score, explained on the how-we-score page.
