Reading the scores
Higher means a cleaner fit with Connor. A Top 10 sibling name can still score low here if it rhymes with Connor or starts with the same letter. How the score works.
What makes a sibling set work
The test is calling both names across a park. They need to start with different sounds so they do not blur together, be about equally well-known so one does not feel like an afterthought, and share a style so they sound like a pair you picked on purpose. Connor with Adam or Bella does that.

For a brother: Adam, Emmett, Declan, Greyson.
