Reading the scores
Read the number as "how well this goes with Roman", 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 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. Roman with Wyatt or Lily does that.

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