Common questions

What twin name goes with Luna?

Matched same-sex options: Autumn, Stella, Iris, Hazel.
For a boy twin: August, Rowan, Silas, Hudson. Each one sits well next to Luna without echoing it. 17 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Luna.

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 (Luna with a near-rhyme) sound like a comedy act, so they get marked down hard here.

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

Twins share a surname and a birthday, so on forms the first initial is often one way to distinguish their records. A twin of Luna whose name also starts with "L" can be harder to distinguish from Luna on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "L".

Where do these rankings come from?

The popularity ranks for Luna 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.
