Common questions

What twin name goes with Roman?

Matched same-sex options: Liam, Wyatt, Jacob, Lucas.
For a girl twin: Ava, Lily, Lucy, Emma. Each one sits well next to Roman without echoing it. 19 of the 20 names on this page have the same 2-syllable length as Roman.

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

Should Roman'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 Roman whose name also starts with "R" can be harder to distinguish from Roman on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "R".

What are these scores based on?

The popularity ranks for Roman 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.
