Reading the scores
Read the number as "how well this goes with Alice", not "how good this sibling name is". Style, length, first letter and sound all feed into it, and rhyming pulls it down hard. How the score works.
What makes a sibling set work
The names people regret are the ones that rhyme, start with the same letter, or sit far apart in popularity. A good match for Alice avoids all three. Alice with Robert or Lillian does that.

Common questions
What names go well with Alice for a sibling?
For a brother: Robert, Wesley, Bennett, Arthur.
For a sister: Lillian, Clara, Maria, Zelda. These share Alice's style and level of familiarity without rhyming or starting with the same letter.
Should a sibling name match Alice?
It should feel like it belongs to the same family as Alice, not like a matching set. That means a shared era or style — Alice reads as vintage and classic, so lean that way — but a different starting sound and ending. Names that rhyme with Alice or also start with "A" get fewer points here.
Does Alice need a sibling name of the same origin?
It helps but is not required. Another Germanic name (like Alice) gets a small scoring bonus because shared roots read as deliberate, but a strong style match with Alice matters more either way.
How is the match score for Alice worked out?
Each name is checked against Alice: a shared style and era counts the most, then how close the two are in popularity, then points come off for rhyming with Alice, sharing its "A" start, or ending on the same sound. Full detail on the NamePairings how-we-score page.
