What makes sibling names work

Sibling names don't need to match, but they should sound as if the same parents chose them. Three things help most: names from a similar era (a Dorothy and a Jayden sound a generation apart), a shared style (both classic, both nature names), and different first sounds and endings so that calling them together is clear (“Ella and Emma” invites daily mix-ups).

Our matcher scores every name on those three things, using each name's peak decade from US Social Security records and its style tags.
