How this list is scored
How this list is scored
First names for a boy with the surname Anderson (3 syllables, said AN-der-sun), ranked for rhythm, a clean join into Anderson, no rhyme, and how widely each name is used.
A first name earns points when its syllable count contrasts with the surname and when its last sound does not run into the surname's first. A rhyme with the surname costs the most, then a sound that runs straight into it. Among names that flow equally well, more widely used names rank higher.
