Common questions
What twin name goes with Miles?
Matched same-sex options: Beau, John, Leo, Theo.
For a girl twin: Ella, Ivy, Ruby, Jade. These scored highest for a shared feel with Miles and no rhyme. 12 of the 20 names on this page have the same 1-syllable length as Miles.
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 (Miles with a near-rhyme) sound like a comedy act, so they get marked down hard here.
Should Miles's twin have a different first letter?
A lot of paperwork, from class lists to doctor's files, shows only a first initial and a surname. A twin of Miles whose name also starts with "M" can be harder to distinguish from Miles on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter.
What are these scores based on?
Ranks for Miles and each twin name are taken from US Social Security Administration records. How well each name goes with Miles is our own score, explained on the how-we-score page.
