Common questions

What twin name goes with Raven?

Matched same-sex options: Stella, Iris, Clara, Zoey.
For a boy twin: Wesley, Enzo, Andrew, Vincent. All share Raven's style and syllable count but start with a different letter.

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

Why do distinct initials matter for a twin of Raven?

School registers, medical forms and camp lists often go by first initial and surname. A twin of Raven whose name also starts with "R" gets mixed up with Raven on paper for years, so the twin score rewards a different first letter.

Where does the data come from?

Raven's rank and the ranks of the twin names above come from US Social Security Administration records; how well each pairs with Raven on style, length and sound is scored by NamePairings — see the how-we-score page.
