Method
Each pair was checked for the same first letter, rhyming endings, the same opening three letters, a syllable gap of more than one, one name containing the other, and spelling variants of the same name (Sophia and Sofia). Syllable counts are approximate. The rules are the same ones the free checker uses, so you can test your own pair with your last name.
